Over 40 and flourishing! Embracing self-care and self-empowerment while starting a family business and truly accepting who I am.
We would like to thank you for supporting Johanna Barrera 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.
I love being over 40 because it’s a time of profound self-discovery and empowerment. I've embraced self-care and learned to truly accept and celebrate who I am. This journey has empowered me to focus on starting a family business, channeling my experience and passion into something meaningful. Balancing personal growth with entrepreneurial endeavors has made this chapter of my life incredibly fulfilling and exciting. Over 40, I feel more vibrant, confident, and fabulous than ever!
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous means embracing a holistic approach to life. I prioritize self-care with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and mindfulness. Embracing self-empowerment, I seek new learning experiences and personal growth. Nurturing relationships and empowering other women as they empower me keeps my spirit vibrant. Professionally, I am driven to grow our family business, it fuels my passion and creativity while enjoying the time with family. This blend of fulfillment keeps me feeling fabulous!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would invest the $40,000 into our family business, which includes my 10-year-old son, who is passionate about entrepreneurship. This investment would create growth opportunities we couldn’t otherwise achieve, allowing us to innovate and expand. Additionally, I dream of creating a space to support other entrepreneurs with resources and opportunities. Encouraging my son’s dreams and working together to foster a community of empowered entrepreneurs would be incredibly fulfilling.
