What do you love about being over 40?

In your forties, a shift occurs, and life is viewed through a more refined lens. You begin to mellow, gaining clarity on what truly matters. Stress becomes less dominant as you recognize that some things are beyond your control. Prioritizing meaningful relationships and positive energy, you distance yourself from negativity and avoid those who create unnecessary drama. The focus shifts to the good you can contribute, seeking ways to make the world a better place. With this maturity we evolve.

How do you stay fabulous?

Staying fabulous over 40 is a mindset centered on holistic well-being, involving the care of the mind, body, and soul. Practices such as meditation and self-care are essential for maintaining inner balance and health. Equally important is the act of giving back to others and the community, which fosters a sense of fulfillment and connection. I believe in competing only with myself, striving each day to be a better version of who I was yesterday. Every woman over 40 is fabulous.

What would you do with the $40,000?

A budget of $40,000 would provide an exceptional opportunity to experience a trip to Florence, Italy fulfilling a bucket list dream of exploring the city’s rich culture . I would also do food and wine tours through Tuscany, and visits to renowned historical sites such as the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery. The trip would be an unforgettable experience.
