Being over 40 has given me the opportunity to develop personal growth & self reflection. I love learning new things about myself, taking on challenges and seeing how far I’ve come. I am comfortable in my own skin, having that confidence that comes with embracing who I am. I know my strengths. I am comfortable with imperfections. I love the ability to live on my own terms, unapologetically being myself, and even less pressure to conform to other’s expectations. This is me living authentically.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous embracing my true self and shining from within, reflecting confidence, health, and joy in everything. I keep learning and growing, staying curious and open to new experiences. I also try to cultivate a positive mindset. I practice gratitude and letting go of negativity. I set boundaries to protect my peace. I know when to say “no” and don’t let others drain my energy. Protecting my emotional space allows me to focus on what truly matters.
What would you do with the $40,000?Given this type of opportunity, I would invest in financial security by making extra payments on my home, clear my debts, and go on a business venture. I would love to travel to Maldives which is on my bucket list.
