Breast cancer survivor, started college from scratch at 40, now finishing MSW this year, community support SW, giving back to my community.
We would like to thank you for supporting Megan Miles 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.
The biggest thing I love about being over 40 is finally falling in love with my body & who I am. I started over with my education & career while going through cancer treatment after I finalized my divorce. I am finally becoming who I dreamed of being as a little girl. It feels wonderful to have discovered the independence this opportunity will provide for the second half of my life. I am happier than I have ever been & grateful to give back to others the way I have been supported in this decade.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by being cognisant of pouring into my cup. I completed my Reiki Master Practitioner training this year. I attend Yoga classes and utilize both practices to incorporate mindfulness into each day. I enjoy walking around the lake where I live and sitting on the dock there to relax. I have always worn eye cream, and now do my full skincare treatment regime. I have enjoyed wearing less makeup and sometimes none at all to work because I enjoy letting my skin breathe more.
What would you do with the $40,000?I have always put others first and made sure that they had everything that they needed. I would love to have the stability of having an apartment or something of my own. I had to move back home with everything that I was going through. So, I left with just clothing and would appreciate basic household items. I always give back to my community and help others, that is my nature. So, I would have to give some money to help my community food pantry and shelter program.
