I am a mom of three, a business owner, and resilient woman who turns challenges into strength and lives with love and purpose.

What I love about being over 40 is the confidence and clarity I’ve gained. I’ve learned to embrace who I am, flaws and all, and I no longer feel the need to apologize for taking up space or chasing my dreams. Life has taught me resilience, especially as a mother of three and a business owner, balancing challenges with grace. I cherish the wisdom and perspective that comes with age, knowing what truly matters. Over 40, I feel stronger, more grounded, and ready for whatever comes next.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous over 40 by embracing self-love, staying active, and focusing on what truly matters—my family, my business, and my faith. I prioritize self-care, maintain a positive mindset, and surround myself with people who uplift me. Life’s challenges have taught me resilience, and I use those lessons to keep growing. By staying authentic, confident, and grateful, I shine from the inside out.
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40K, I would first pay for my brother’s funeral to honor his memory, he suddenly passed away from cancer. To give him the farewell he deserves. The remaining funds would go toward helping his family—supporting his kids and providing some financial relief during this difficult time. My goal would be to ensure they feel cared for and have some stability as they navigate life without him. This money would help us heal and honor his legacy by easing the burden on those he loved most.
