I am an outdoor adventure single mama who started getting in and staying in shape at 40. At 42 I feel the best I ever have.

I am finally unmasking and learning more about my authentic self while not caring what others perception and thoughts are of me. I am getting comfortable with being alone and not seeking external validation (most days 😉). I’m transparent and love radical honesty.
How do you stay fabulous?I spend as much time as possible outdoors exploring, hiking, and swimming. I exercise, am in therapy, and like to think I bring kindness and joy to others. I am trying to raise my daughter to think for herself and be her own person…which I’m pretty sure I’m doing a decent job at.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would buy some land to eventually build a home and start a flower farm so that my daughter and I could have some stability. I love our WNC communities and mountains that have recently been through massive devastation so being able to invest to give back even more so would be a dream.
