Connect What do you love about being over 40?

Being over 40 brings clarity and confidence. I love that I now understand who I am and what truly matters. Life’s challenges no longer overwhelm me—I’ve learned to prioritize joy, relationships, and experiences over superficial goals. There’s peace in no longer seeking others’ approval, and I embrace growth with a balanced, resilient mindset. It’s a time of self-acceptance, greater gratitude for the present, and the freedom to live authentically without fear of judgment.

How do you stay fabulous?

I stay fabulous by taking care of myself in all aspects—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I prioritize my health by staying active and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Mentally, I focus on growth and staying positive, while emotionally, I make self-care a priority to stay grounded. I also work hard and stay focused on my goals, pushing myself to always improve. Most importantly, I make time to pause and spend moments with family, remembering what truly matters and keeps me centered.

What would you do with the $40,000?

With $40,000, the first thing I would do is pay my tithes! I would also donate to my favorite charity to support a cause I believe in. Next, I would set aside some of the money for emergencies to ensure I’m financially prepared for the unexpected. Lastly, I would use a portion of it to pay off business debt, which would help alleviate financial pressure and allow for future growth.
