At 40, I’m thriving as a mom of two teens, running a business, balancing two jobs, hustling hard, embracing strength & shining bright

What I love about being over 40 is the sense of confidence and clarity I’ve gained. I’ve learned to prioritize my well-being, embrace my strengths, and approach life with more self-assurance. At 40, I’m more comfortable in my own skin and empowered by my experiences. I love the wisdom that comes with age, knowing I can face any challenge and keep growing. It’s a beautiful time to celebrate how far I’ve come and look forward to everything the future holds.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by prioritizing self-care, staying active, and embracing a positive mindset. Balancing my business and raising two teens keeps me busy, but I always make time for things that make me feel good, inside and out. I practice gratitude, focus on my strengths, and take on challenges with confidence. To me, being fabulous is about embracing my unique journey, loving myself fully, and never losing sight of my personal growth and happiness!
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I’d invest in expanding my business to offer more services and enhance my clients’ experience. I’d also save for my kids’ future, giving them opportunities to follow their dreams. A portion would go toward self-care, because as a busy mom, it’s important to prioritize my well-being. Lastly, I’d donate to causes I care about, helping others embrace self-love and empowerment just like I encourage in my own journey.
