What do you love about being over 40?

I hit rock bottom now 62, I only see untapped potential, endless possibilities limited only by my imagination. Prevention over prescriptions, move & eat well. Creating life of my dreams.

How do you stay fabulous?

Being authentically myself, forgiving, moving, eating clean, practicing gratitude, self care and putting me first. Celebrating my unique gifts and imperfections, my accomplishments while being open to change. Believing in myself and being generous with compliments.

What would you do with the $40,000?

Support and empower women/girls to be the best versions of themselves. As a female role model, my dream is to win this challenge thereby inspiring women like me, worldwide to pursue their dreams, foster equality and live fearlessly. Further, I would initiate program to assist new moms for healthy starts while advocating for education and empowerment of women entrepreneurs.
