I’m fabulously over 40, living by my creative calling. I am a nature-loving music artist who believes kindness is key to humanity’s survival

I’m less concerned about what people think of me. I know who I am, and what I am about. I approach my work from a place of integrity and passion, and look for ways I can help to better the world using the unique skill set I have, taking on projects that promote togetherness, environmentalism, and kindness. I strive to approach challenges from a place of service and gratitude. I’m motivated to uplift and support women in the entertainment industry. Being able to help others is deeply fulfilling.
How do you stay fabulous?I believe the secret to being fabulous is living with joy, in truth, and loving well and being well loved. In addition, I eat a plant based diet, do yoga, hike and go into nature regularly. I stay creative, laugh and act silly, and strive to maintain a childlike wonder and a sincere sense of curiosity about the world. I don’t take anything for granted and don’t take anyone too seriously. I live in the moment, cherish the little things and pay it forward whenever I can.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would invest it in my own company. Besides being a full time artist, I want to build a sounding board for mompreneurs to connect and support one another’s dreams. A place to brainstorm, bounce ideas off each other and to rebuild individual ambitions. I see a need for something like that in my community. A yoga/pilates/wellness studio run by women: a peaceful place to delve into the arts and tap into one’s intuition to find the strength within to make a difference without sacrificing family.
