#103 | Here Comes the Sun: Lake County Joy Summit with Dr. Dominique Pritchett

In this deeply grounding and compassionate conversation, Sheryl sits down with Dr. Dominique Pritchett, PsyD, LCSW, licensed mental health therapist, founder of Beloved Wellness Center®, and speaker for the Lake County Joy Summit 2026.

Together, they explore what it means to live in a world that often expects us to be strong at all costs and the quiet exhaustion that comes from carrying that weight alone. Dr. Dominique shares her calling to create spaces where healing begins with being seen, supported, and beloved, navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, perfectionism, and life transitions.

Inspired by the Joy Summit theme Here Comes the Sun, this episode invites listeners to consider how joy, light, and love can gently return when we stop performing strength and start practicing care. Dr. Dominique reminds us that wellness isn't something we earn, it's something we deserve. And healing doesn't start at the surface; it begins in the soul.

This conversation is a soft place to land, a reminder that you don't have to have it all figured out just the courage to begin. A soulful conversation about softness, strength, and letting the light reach the places we've kept hidden.

In this episode we'll explore:

Redefining strength, releasing the pressure to always "hold it together"

Healing through being seen, why belonging and culturally responsive care matter

Love as a wellness practice, allowing joy, softness, and light back in
