Connect What do you love about being over 40?

It's the confidence that comes from truly knowing myself, the freedom to prioritize what matters most, and the wisdom gained from life’s experiences. I’ve learned to embrace imperfections, live with purpose, and appreciate each moment. Over 40 is about strength, resilience, and living unapologetically, while still growing and evolving. It’s a time to shine brighter and love deeper, with clarity and grace.

How do you stay fabulous?

I stay fabulous by embracing balance—prioritizing my physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Regular exercise, nourishing foods, and staying curious keep me energized. I practice self-care, pursue passions, and surround myself with positivity. Learning something new, setting boundaries, and staying connected to loved ones fuels my growth. Most importantly, I maintain a mindset of gratitude, confidence, and joy, knowing that true fabulosity comes from within!

What would you do with the $40,000?

With $40,000, I’d invest in personal growth and community impact. I'd further my education to enhance my skills and give back by supporting programs that empower women and underserved communities. A portion would go toward building a wellness initiative to promote health and self-care. Lastly, I’d treat my family to a memorable experience, celebrating the love and support that’s shaped my journey. It’s about growth, giving back, and creating lasting memories!
