At 40, I’m confident, resilient, and true to myself. I embrace my style, prioritize wellness, and live with purpose, feeling truly fabulous.

What I love about being 40 is the confidence and clarity that comes with it. I’m more comfortable in my own skin, and I know what I want from life. I’ve learned to embrace my individuality, trust my instincts, and let go of unnecessary worries. At 40, I focus on meaningful relationships, self-care, and personal growth. It’s a time where I feel balanced, empowered, and in control of my own happiness.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by prioritizing balance and self-care. I make time for things that nourish my mind, body, and soul—whether it’s staying active, eating well, or carving out moments for reflection and mindfulness. I embrace my personal style, choosing what makes me feel confident and comfortable. I also surround myself with positive energy, nurturing relationships that inspire and uplift me. Staying curious and open to growth is key, too; I’m always learning and evolving, which keeps life exciting
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I’d focus on a mix of practical and meaningful investments. First, I’d set aside a portion for my long-term financial security, like contributing to savings or paying down any debts. I’d also invest in something that enhances my life now— likely put some into self-development, whether through courses, fitness Pilates certification, or personal passions that inspire growth to empower other strong woman.
