Receive Text UpdatesBeing over 40 brings a quiet confidence, wisdom, and a deeper sense of freedom. It's a time when you truly understand yourself, focus on what matters, and let go of the little things. With experience comes the ability to handle life’s challenges with more ease, and a greater appreciation for simple joys like traveling, good food, and a glass of wine shared with loved ones.
How do you stay fabulous?Staying connected to what truly matters—family, health, and personal values. I remind myself to be present in the moment, practice gratitude, and keep a strong sense of purpose from my career in health and social care. It’s also about maintaining balance, making time for rest and reflection, and appreciating the simple pleasures in life. Staying humble and open to growth helps me stay centred, no matter where life takes me.
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I’d focus on creating meaningful balance. I’d set aside some for travel to create lasting memories and invest in personal growth or wellness. A portion would go to a local hospice, supporting a cause close to my heart. The rest would be saved or invested to ensure I’m planning wisely for the future, staying grounded while making the most of life’s opportunities.
