At 47, I’m living proof that strength grows from struggles—raising 5 kids, mentoring women, building dreams, and embracing every challenge.

Being in my 40s feels like stepping into a new level of confidence and self-acceptance. I love that I’m finally comfortable in my own skin, no longer worrying about what others think or letting judgment hold me back. I’ve learned to focus on my health and well-being, filling my own cup as a mom of five, which makes me a better version of myself for those I love. What I cherish most is how my life experiences and past have shaped me into someone who can truly help others.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous in my 40s by making my health and daily workouts a top priority, giving back to others, and living in gratitude every day. These practices keep me grounded, energized, and focused on what truly matters.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I had $40,000, I would use it to support women who have been abused and are struggling as single moms, helping them find resources and rebuild their lives. I would also use a portion to pay off some of the debt from my twins’ time in the NICU, relieving some of the financial pressure from that challenging experience.
