During my divorce, I not only faced the pain of that process but also the loss of my best friend, who was like a sister to me. That time made me reevaluate my life and realize how much I’ve been given. I’m especially grateful for my amazing 11-year old-son and the chance to watch him grow. What makes me love being 47 is the strength, clarity, and confidence that come with it. At 47, I can truly say I love the woman I have become and the life I’m living.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by focusing on the energy I give off and attract. Turning negatives into positives has had a significant impact on my life. Along the way, I found myself surrounded by a tribe of strong, intelligent women who inspire and support me every day. I’m incredibly grateful for those relationships. Rediscovering myself as a woman and a mom has been empowering , and I embrace life with gratitude, growth and an open heart.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I had $40,000, I would invest part of it in my education to open doors to new career opportunities and build skills necessary for my future success. Financial stability is also important to me, so I would invest a portion to ensure long-term growth. Additionally, I would donate some money in honor of my best friend to a mental health charity, supporting a cause that holds great significance for both of us.
