I’m fabulous over 40 because I’ve faced challenges, grown stronger & help women do the same. If you’re ready for real change, let’s do this
We would like to thank you for supporting Cherie Rickard in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
What I love most about being fabulous over 40 is the confidence that comes from truly knowing who I am. I’ve lived through challenges, embraced my growth, and now I’m able to use my experiences to help other women rebuild their lives. It’s a time of clarity, where I focus on what really matters, and I no longer feel the need to apologize for being bold or ambitious. I love that I’ve reached this point where I can walk in my purpose with passion and empower others to do the same.
How do you stay fabulous?By embracing every season of life with confidence and gratitude. I prioritize self-care—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—because I know that taking care of myself allows me to give my best to others. Staying connected to my purpose keeps me driven, while staying open to growth helps me evolve. I surround myself with positive, inspiring people, and I make time for what brings me joy. I stay grounded in my faith, which gives me the strength to overcome challenges & empower others!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would expand my mission to empower women by creating accessible programs & resources for those overcoming adversity. I’d develop a scholarship fund for women who can’t afford coaching, providing them with tools to rebuild their lives after grief, divorce, or hardship. I’d also invest in scaling my business, reaching more women through retreats, workshops, and online courses, helping them reclaim their confidence and rewrite their stories. This would be life-changing for so many women.
