Being a woman over 40 comes with a deep sense of self-assurance and authenticity. I have truly embraced my individuality, having learned what truly matters to me. I have a newfound confidence in making decisions, setting boundaries, and not feeling the need to seek approval from others. It’s a time to celebrate my personal and professional accomplishments, nurture meaningful relationships, and focus on self-care and taking risks. The wisdom that comes from life experiences is empowering.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by being journalists about life and the world around me. Exploring new cultures and hobbies and putting my health first. I value clean eating and taking time in a busy day to have slow rewarding moments. I also value investment projects and recently started my first rental business. I believe in enjoying the ride and always challenging myself to try something new.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I won the $40,000 I would use it to start my own aesthetics and wellness business in my little town. We don’t have a lot of services but a huge amount of women who want to look and feel their best. I would love to give them a little wellness oasis in their town. It’s been a dream of mine to start my own business and truly get to exercise my entrepreneurial spirit.
