I have always believed that age is just a number and the obstacles that I once thought would kill me, were conquered & only made me stronger

Being over 40 has brought a newfound sense of confidence, clarity & self-discovery. I have gained invaluable wisdom & knowledge from my life experiences, both challenges & triumphs. This has enabled me to make better choices and has taught me how to prioritize what truly matters—relationships, health, and personal fulfillment. I am learning how to embrace my true self & feel comfortable in my skin, loving all of my scars & imperfections without fear of judgement. At this age, I am free to be me!
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous is about embracing authenticity, confidence, and self-care. I have mental and physical challenges, but with the help of medication, therapy, close communication with my healthcare providers and a great support system, I am learning how to embrace my unique style and personality, which in return has made me feel empowered. I celebrate who I am by nurturing my mind, body, and spirit, which aids in ensuring that my fabulousness shines through every day, even on the stormier ones.
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I would prioritize my long-term goals while addressing my immediate needs first. Next, I would allocate funds for furthering my education, perhaps through courses or certifications that I could utilize in starting up a new business in a field that I enjoy. I love to travel, so I would use a portion to broaden my horizons & explore different cultures to gain new perspectives. Lastly, I would use money to educate young children about the effects that drug and alcohol use can cause.
