We’re looking forward to introducing you to Dominique Adams-Hardman . Check out our conversation below.
Dominique , so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
Honestly, I feel like I’m chasing alignment. I’m chasing the version of myself that’s fully in her purpose, where my creativity, my business, and the impact I want to make are all in sync. It’s about creating something meaningful, staying consistent, and turning my vision into something real. I’m not just chasing success for the title or the look of it. I’m chasing fulfillment. That feeling of knowing I’m doing what I’m meant to do and that it’s actually making a difference.
If I were to stop, I think I’d still be grounded in who I am, but I’d lose the rhythm that keeps me moving forward. Not in a burnout way, but in that sense of flow that makes everything click. But at the same time, I’ve realized it’s not always about chasing. Sometimes it’s about choosing. Choosing peace, choosing clarity, choosing to show up even when it’s not perfect. That mindset keeps me aligned without feeling like I have to run toward everything all the time.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hey, I’m Dominique Adams-Hardman—CEO and founder of UnjadedHearts LLC. My brand started as a creative outlet during one of the hardest moments of my life. I lost someone really important to me, and in the middle of that grief, I turned to creating as a way to heal. That pain turned into purpose, and UnjadedHearts was born. Now it’s a jewelry brand that represents more than just accessories ,it’s about self-expression, softness, growth, and making people feel beautiful inside and out. Every collection tells a story, and each piece is designed to connect with people on a deeper level.
Outside of my brand, I just recently graduated from UNCG with a degree in Communication Studies. I’ve grown to over 120K +
followers across social media. I’ve been recognized by celebs, featured in NY Weekly, and even had words of inspiration showcased on a NYC billboard. Right now, I’m focused on scaling UnjadedHearts, creating with intention, and stepping fully into alignment with the next level of my life and business. Everything I do is rooted in love, resilience, and the reminder that even through loss, growth and beauty are still possible.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
The version of me that carried the weight of being everything for everyone has done her job. She kept me safe, helped me be strong, and taught me how to endure , but I’m no longer in survival mode. It’s time to release her. I’m choosing softness, stillness, and trust. I don’t need to fight to be enough. I just simply need to be so everything will align.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell her, they didn’t get it because it was never meant for them to understand. You were always meant for bigger things, things beyond what anyone around you could see. They called you crazy for dreaming that big, for choosing your own path, for not following the script ,but deep down, you knew. You weren’t made to play small. You were made to break cycles, build something real, and become everything they said was impossible. And you will.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What truths are so foundational in your life that you rarely articulate them?
One truth that’s so foundational in my life I rarely say it out loud is this: your purpose will always find you, even when you lose sight of it. No matter how lost, disconnected, or overwhelmed I’ve felt, my purpose has always found a way to pull me back in. Sometimes through pain, sometimes through peace , but it always returns. It’s a reminder that what’s truly meant for me doesn’t need to be chased. It lives in me, and it knows how to call me home.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What pain do you resist facing directly?
The pain I resist facing is feeling like no one will ever truly see me the way I see myself. I know how deep I am, how much heart I carry, how intentional I move but sometimes it feels like people only catch the surface. It hurts to give so much, to be so full of love and vision, and still feel misunderstood. I don’t always say it out loud, but that quiet fear of never being fully seen or felt for all of me that’s the part I’m still learning to sit with.
