Over 40, I’m thriving with purpose, unstoppable confidence, and a deep drive to inspire others. Age isn’t a limit—it’s my power!

What I love about being over 40 is the wisdom that comes with it. I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself and life in general, and I feel more comfortable in my own skin. It’s a great time to enjoy what I’ve built and embrace new adventures!
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by embracing my unique style and focusing on what makes me feel confident. I keep a positive attitude, stay curious, and never stop learning. Plus, a little self-care routine and surrounding myself with uplifting people help keep that fabulous vibe going!
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I’d start by investing a good portion to build long-term wealth. I might also use some to support a meaningful cause or project I’m passionate about. And of course, I’d set aside a bit for a fun experience, like a memorable trip or something new I’ve always wanted to try!
