At 46, I’m a fit, fun stay-at-home mom of two, a Cross-fit lover, and a proud Italian raised in Germany. I love dancing and living fully!

For me, it’s embracing my strength, confidence, and the amazing journey I’ve had so far. As a stay-at-home mom, raising two incredible kids (14 and 20) has been a joy, especially knowing I home-schooled them. I stay healthy & fit by going to CrossFit and keeping my energy up for everything I love. Being in my 40s, I see things differently and enjoy the little things more like good company and laughter. I of course love to go out dancing and catching up with my fabulous 40 girlies!
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous is all about embracing who you are and living with confidence! Here are a few ways that I keep that fabulous energy going: Making time for myself whether it’s going to CrossFit, enjoying a relaxing skincare routine, or simply unwinding. Staying confident and owning my journey! I'm fabulous because I embrace my strengths, culture, and passions and live my life full-heartedly. Lastly, my beauty regimen is a glass of wine a day! ;)
What would you do with the $40,000?I would use it to create a fresh start for my kids and me amidst this challenging divorce. First, I’d set aside funds for legal fees to ensure a fair settlement. Then, I’d invest in a comfortable home that feels safe and welcoming, giving us a space to thrive. I’d also allocate a portion of the money to start my own business. This would not only provide financial stability but also empower me to build something I love.
