I love my journey of self love and appreciating who I am. I cherish deep relationships, find joy in the little things and prioritize my own fulfillment over others’ opinions. I take more risks, set more boundaries & cultivating genuine friendships bring me happiness. I’m more comfortable in my own skin and continue to embark on a journey of self discovery. I’m not afraid to explore my passions and embrace my true self.
How do you stay fabulous?I surround myself with fabulous people and fabulous causes. I spend time with those who uplift and inspire me & do things that fill my cup (Girls Weekends/book club/Margarita and Wine Walks/crafting/family). Giving back to my community through volunteer work and mentorship is also important to me and a huge part of my life. I prioritize my physical and mental health, engaging in activities that bring me joy. My commitment to self love keeps me feeling fabulous inside and out.
What would you do with the $40,000?In my 40’s, I’ve embarked on a journey of self discovery. I became a mother very young, I dedicated my adulthood to being my children’s mother, losing my own identity. With my over 100lb weight loss, I’ve gained confidence, but struggle with loose skin. A mini mommy makeover would be amazing. Additionally, my oldest daughter’s upcoming college graduation fills me with such excitement! I did not attend college myself, I’d absolutely love to use some to celebrate her with an unforgettable trip!
