30 Days After Her Divorce, She Received A Text She’d Never Forget

Author: Dear Media June 22, 2026 Duration: 47:32
In today’s episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by entrepreneur, philanthropist, and nonprofit founder Mandi Brown-Hayley for a deeply moving conversation about the life-changing experience that reshaped her family’s future.Just one month after finalizing her divorce, Mandi found herself facing an unimaginable loss while simultaneously helping her children navigate grief, confusion, and difficult questions no parent is ever prepared to answer. Together, we discuss what it was like to live alongside mental health struggles within a marriage, the difficult decision to leave after years of trying to make it work, and the tools that helped her family find healing during one of the darkest seasons of their lives.Mandi also shares how that profound loss ultimately led her to discover a greater purpose. Inspired by the support she received from family, friends, her faith, and counseling, she founded The Loved Ones Left Behind, an organization dedicated to helping families facing similar circumstances. Through financial assistance, resources, and compassionate support, the foundation helps families navigate overwhelming moments, find hope, and begin rebuilding their lives.If you or someone you know is in distress or experiencing a mental health crisis, immediate help is available. You can quickly connect with free, confidential support by calling or texting 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.For more on Mandi, follow her on:Organization No Loved Ones Left Behind: https://thelovedonesleftbehind.com/ Email: mandi@thelovedonesleftbehind.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelovedonesleftbehind Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovesleftbehind/#   Thanks to my Sponsors:Cozy Earth: Head to cozyearth.com and use my code FLOURISHINGBOGO to buy one, get one free. Jones Road Beauty: Head to Jonesroadbeauty.com and use code FLOURISHING at checkout for a FREE full-sized mascara on your first purchase. Perfectly Snug: Visit Perfectlysnug.com/FLOURISHING and use promo code FLOURISHING to save 15% on the website. Medik8: Visit Medik8.us and use code Flourishing20 to save 20% off your first order!Uresta: Learn more about this amazing breakthrough, trusted by over 50,000 women at Uresta.com Attn Grace: Visit attngrace.com/discount/flourishing and use code FLOURISHING for 20% offKeep in Touch:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/book/Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dominiquesachse/Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DominiqueSachse/TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dominiquesachse?lang=enYouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@dominiquesachsetvHave a question for Dominique?
