Embracing my 40s with confidence, grace, and purpose—balancing family, career, and faith while staying active and refining my passions.
We would like to thank you for supporting Mariam Gemayel in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love the clarity and confidence that come with being over 40. This stage of life allows me to embrace who I truly am without worrying about others’ opinions. I’m more grounded in my faith, focused on meaningful relationships, and aware of what truly matters. Having beat breast cancer in 2023, I feel a whole new confidence. Mind over matter. It’s a time for living with intention and continuing to grow personally and spiritually.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by nurturing a healthy mind, body, and spirit. I keep physically active, stay curious and passionate about learning, and prioritize self-care. My faith keeps me centered, while my family and friends keep me motivated and inspired. I love exploring new experiences and am committed to personal growth, style, and embracing life’s beauty at every stage.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would use the $40,000 to pay off the debt I incurred during my breast cancer treatment, easing the financial burden on my family. I would also plan a well-deserved vacation with my husband and our two girls, creating beautiful memories together after such a challenging journey.
