Strong in Grit & Grace! Nurturing healthy mind, body, faith, spirit, & relationship. At 59, Embracing Life 2.0 w/ resiliency to inspire hope
We would like to thank you for supporting EDIE REISS in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
At 59, I embrace the beautiful hot mess I am, finding strength in the uniqueness of how God designed me. I've gained inner confidence that doesn't seek approval. I focus energy on what matters. I'm still healing and learning from the past, setting boundaries, and respecting myself. I'm unafraid to speak boldly, driven by passion. Thriving in an authentic, and passionate marriage of 2 yrs, intentional about growth. I am out of the storm & can help others. Silly, Emotionally Deep & Authentic
How do you stay fabulous?By embracing a growing community of friends with passion and authenticity, weekly Women's Bible Study and Faith Driven Entrepreneur Groups. I seek help to heal past trauma through EMDR counseling and personal resilience tools. With God's grace, I trust again in a joyful, intentional 2-year marriage. Health-wise, I lost 100lbs with Bariatric surgery in ’21, walk 3 miles 5x/week with my husband, and combat osteoporosis by building strength at AKT Gym 4x/week. I work on nutrition goals
What would you do with the $40,000?If I won $40,000, I'd continue my volunteer work as a Church Relations Rep with Operation Christmas Child, creating space for God to guide my next career or life step. I'm personally packing 45 boxes in 2024 and would use the funds to help pay for shipping, enhancing my ability to serve others. This prize will also allow me to donate $5000 to families in NC impacted by the storm. By investing in service and security, I'd embrace new opportunities to give back and grow.
