At 40+, I'm empowered by grit and resilience—living authentically, embracing every challenge, and traveling as much as possible.

I love the confidence and clarity that comes with being over 40. This stage of life has gifted me with wisdom from experiences and the courage to embrace who I truly am. I’ve let go of societal pressures, allowing me to focus on what truly matters—personal growth, meaningful connections, and living life on my terms. It’s empowering to feel grounded in my values, while still excited for what’s to come. Every day is an opportunity to grow and remain curious.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by prioritizing self-care, both inside and out. I embrace lifelong learning, nurture my passions, and surround myself with positive and wild energy. Staying active, maintaining a healthy mindset, and celebrating every achievement—big or small—keeps me going. I stay true to myself, always striving for balance, joy, and growth in every area of my life.
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I’d invest in my personal growth and well-being(especially my teeth that has some issues). I'd travel to back to Japan, support a cause for women and animal welfare, and continue building financial security. I’d also pay back my brother and mother who have been my biggest supporters.
