I’m loving being over 40 because I’ve never felt more confident or comfortable in my own skin. This phase of life has brought me a sense of freedom—freedom to embrace who I am and what truly makes me happy. I’ve found balance between running my business, being there for my kids, and diving into my creative passions like beading. Over 40, I’ve gained resilience and perspective, and I’m grateful for all the experiences that have shaped me. This is the time in my life where I get to enjoy it all—on

I stay fabulous by focusing on resilience and positivity, even when life throws challenges my way. I’ve learned that no matter what, it’s about putting one foot in front of the other each day and choosing to keep moving forward. Overcoming obstacles has taught me to stay strong mentally and emotionally, and that’s where I find my strength. I also make sure to prioritize my health, staying active with basic exercise and making healthy choices, so I continue glowing my way through life.

I’d use the $40,000 to invest in my family and my business. First, I’d ensure my kids have everything they need to pursue their dreams, and I’d put a portion toward their future. I’d also reinvest in my business, Charmed Karma, to expand its reach and create even more opportunities for growth. I want to inspire others, especially women over 40, to keep pushing forward, embrace their passions, and thrive in every aspect of life.
