What do you love about being over 40?

I love that I have grown so much from the lessons in my life. I have had complex and suitable lessons that were needed to challenge me and help me grow to my highest truth. I am more at peace and able to enjoy life while incorporating my faith in God. The motto I'm practicing is to live in my Now and not worry about problems; I'll get to it when I get to it. I also believe in protecting my energy, which has reduced problems that were not for me anyway.

How do you stay fabulous?

I havfaith in God, beampiritual, and practice self-care. Those things allow me to focus On the things thurishing in my life, including reading books, taking care of my kids, going to the gym, meditation or breathwork, and even walking barefoot in the park. I wawant to enjoy every moment cause life is too short. I have been through many health scares, including being on a machine for asthma, developing severe joint pain, severe psoriasis, and some rough pregnancies.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I want to invest in myself and build my content with YouTube and other social platforms. I would able to travel and speak with different people about my journey and how I overcame being a down-and-out young girl with nothing and severely obese most of her life but still persevered. I was able to go to college and grad school, I had kids from the impossible, I became a homeowner, and I recently woke up to the reality I was living in. Verbal abuse stemmed from not wanting to be alone.
