I feel more confident today than ever before. I trust my intuition, my decisions, and my positivity. Turning 40 was a celebration.

Honestly, everything! Being 40 has been my best season yet. Aging is an evolution of self discovery, and I love who I've become over the years. My identity's been shaped by so much gratitude, resilience, and lessons learned. I'm proud of every milestone, because I know the effort and dedication it took to achieve them. I love being my own validation and feeling capable of reaching my goals. And I love and am thankful for being able to pursue my passions in life - traveling being a big one.
How do you stay fabulous?I invest in myself and experiences that bring me joy. To me, feeling fabulous stems from happiness and being at peace with everything I love about myself and the imperfections that make me who I am. I also prioritize what matters to me and surround myself with people I love who contribute to my growth. I have fun as much as I can, laugh often, and don't sweat the little things. I take care of my physical, emotional, and mental health, because people who feel good look good.
What would you do with the $40,000?I'd definitely use a good portion towards property, but only after planning a vacation with my family to celebrate. They are my everything, and I always try to share the good moments with them.
