Chew the Meat, Spit Out the Bones: Why Girls and Women Are Unlearning to Rise and Reclaim Their Worth

Dominique M. Williams is a transformational worthiness coach, confidence mentor, and founder of Inspiring and Empowering Ladies, a movement that equips girls and women to unlearn toxic conditioning, reclaim their self-worth, and rise in bold purpose. In her trend-driven blog Chew the Meat, Spit Out the Bones: Why Girls and Women Are Unlearning to Rise and Reclaim Their Worth, Dominique explores the emotional and cultural weight of being raised to “just be strong” while navigating the lasting impact of performance-based love and generational trauma.

Through faith-rooted coaching and tools like her books Worthy Woman, Wildly Winning, Fearless & Flourishing, The Compound Effect for Girls, and Crowned in Confidence, she provides girls and women with practical strategies for healing, self-awareness, mindset transformation, and God-centered leadership. Dominique’s work centers around the belief that just because something “worked” doesn’t mean it worked for our good, and she gives her community permission to keep the lessons while releasing the shame.

Dominique is available for interviews, speaker opportunities, brand partnerships, and collaborations that elevate emotional wellness, soul work, and purpose for girls and women of faith.

The Compound Effect of Confidence: Why Modeling Matters More Than Ever for the Next Generation of Girls

The Compound Effect of Confidence is a generational framework that helps moms build self-esteem, resilience, and leadership in their daughters through intentional modeling. Rather than relying on perfection or one-time lessons, this approach focuses on how everyday words, actions, and choices made by mothers can shape a daughter’s identity, voice, and belief in herself over time.

Rooted in behavioral science and emotional wellness, The Compound Effect equips women, especially mothers, mentors, and caregivers, with tools to raise confident girls, model self-worth, and create home environments that nurture courage, character, and emotional strength.

As confidence in young girls continues to decline between the ages of 8 and 14, this confidence-building strategy is essential for educators, youth organizations, and brands seeking to empower the next generation of women leaders.

The Compound Effect is more than a book; it’s a movement toward raising bold daughters by walking boldly ourselves. By modeling confidence consistently, moms can create compounding effects that positively impact their daughter’s self-perception, leadership readiness, and emotional health for life.

Begin Again: Why Girls and Women Are Returning to What Was Always Good for Them, And Reclaiming Their Worth in the Process

Dominique M. Williams is a leading worthiness coach, confidence strategist, and bestselling author empowering girls and women to reclaim their self-worth and walk boldly in their God-given purpose. Through her transformative movement Inspiring and Empowering Ladies, Dominique helps girls and women unlearn limiting beliefs, overcome imposter syndrome, and return to the faith-based practices that ground them emotionally, spiritually, and mentally.

In her blog Begin Again: Why Girls and Women Are Returning to What Was Always Good for Them, she shares how societal pressure, shame, and performance culture have led many girls and women to abandon the very tools that once anchored their identity, such as journaling, prayer, rest, and reflection. Dominique teaches that returning to those tools is not regression, it’s restoration. It’s remembering the truth that worth is not earned, it’s innate.

Her books, including Worthy Woman, Wildly Winning, Fearless & Flourishing, Crowned in Confidence, and The Compound Effect for Girls, provide measurable strategies to rebuild confidence, track personal growth, and begin again from a place of truth. Dominique is available for media interviews, podcast features, keynote speaking, and coaching partnerships centered on faith, confidence, mindset, and the holistic development of girls and women.
