I am a business owner, wife and mom of a 3 year old girl. I believe you can truly have it all even after 40!
We would like to thank you for supporting Erika Ponce 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.
What I really love is the confidence and the self awareness gained from my life experiences. Also, I became a mom at 40 and am loving this new chapter of life! This age brings so much clarity and gratitude for the things that are truly important. The relationships that I have built at this age are more authentic because of the values that I have learned are significant in life.
How do you stay fabulous?Being a business owner dose not leave much extra time, however I still prioritize self care. I am diligent with my skincare routine which consists of vitamin C, SPF and Lactic acid. Also, I take pilates reformer classes 2 or 3 times per week and get an IV nutrition treatment monthly. I take a moment each morning to set my intention and focus on what I need to accomplish to reduce stress and to practice gratitude
What would you do with the $40,000?I would put a portion of the prize winnings towards my daughters 529 plan for her college education. I would love to help my mom get a newer car and take my daughter and husband on a Disney cruise! I will donate a portion to Austin Pets Alive , a local non profit dedicated to eliminate the euthanasia of companion animals and to the local non profit ALMA that is focused on assisting intellectually challenged teens transition from high school to the real world by learning job skills.
