The confidence and clarity that come with age. I’ve grown more comfortable in my own skin, accepting who I am, focusing on the things that truly matter. It’s a time where I feel empowered by my experiences and wisdom.I’ve learned to let go of the pressure to meet others’ expectations. Life after 40 feels like a journey of continued self-discovery, where I can embrace both my strengths and imperfections. I also appreciate the resilience I’ve developed, which helps me face challenges with grace

embracing self-care, both inside and out. For me, it starts with maintaining a healthy lifestyle—focusing on nutrition, exercise, and mental well-being. I prioritize balance, listening to my body, and staying active in ways that bring me joy. But beyond the physical, I’ve found that cultivating a positive mindset and surrounding myself with uplifting people keeps me energized and motivated. I’ve also learned the importance of pursuing passions, nurturing relationships, and practicing gratitude

First, I'd like to set aside funds to start scholarships for those like myself needing assistance with reconstructive surgery after significant weight loss. I would allocate a portion toward my dream of Holistic counseling practice focusing on weight loss, which helps others realize the importance of mental and physical health. Additionally, I’d set aside funds for furthering my education and professional development in mental health counseling, allowing me to serve my clients even better.
