Author: Dear Media December 15, 2025 Duration: 1:12:42
In this episode, I sit down with Caroline Baudino, the woman behind Shop With Caroline and a voice many women connect with. From her early years around Univision to the intense world of Spanish soap operas, Caroline has lived a life of constant change. Through motherhood, marriage, and losing her sense of self, she shares how she found her way back through small daily rituals and honesty. This conversation isn’t about fashion alone, it’s about identity, resilience, and what it looks like to rebuild yourself in midlife with clarity and faith. In this episode, we discuss:How Caroline went from soap opera actress to building a thriving business on social media in her late 40sThe emotional toll of motherhood, marriage, and feeling lost after two kids under twoHer candid experience with perimenopause, weight gain, anxiety, and finding strength againWhy “getting up and getting dressed” became her lifeline and signature philosophyHow childhood chaos and her parents’ complicated marriage shaped her identityThe green flags she looked for in a partner — and how she manifested the love of her lifeWhat women don’t talk about enough when it comes to marriage, resentment, and midlife expectationsHow faith, gratitude, and daily rituals anchor her through life’s toughest seasonsThe deeper meaning behind her maximalist jewelry and why it became her emotional armorWhy women in midlife are craving realness, connection, sisterhood, and permission to reinvent themselves For more on Caroline Baudino, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shop.with.caroline Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/caroline.barbabaudino/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shop.with.caroline Listen to her podcast Coming In Hot: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coming-in-hot/id1741025547  Thanks to my Sponsors:Gruns: Get up to 52% off with code flourishing at gruns.co Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/FLOURISHING with promo code FLOURISHINGO Positive: Head to OPositive.com/flourishing or enter FLOURISHING at checkout for 25% off your first purchaseClean Simple Eats: Visit https://glnk.io/73q00/dominique and use code FLOURISHING20 at checkout for 20% off your first orderThe Real Real: Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to TheRealReal.com/over50 Storyworth: Save $10 of more during their Holiday sale when you go to Storyworth.com/FLOURISHING  Keep 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/@dominiquesachsetv Have a question for Dominique?
