For me, it's a profound sense of liberation, self-love, and a commitment to becoming the best version of myself. I no longer feel the need to conform to societal expectations or compare myself to others. I've embraced the power of saying "no" without guilt or the need to justify my decisions. I've also realized that true happiness is not found through others, but within. It comes from living in the present and finding joy in the simple, everyday moments.
How do you stay fabulous?Embracing kindness, authenticity, and disregarding the constraints of age, I remain steadfast in my belief that anything is possible. I strive to approach life with a sense of wonder and an openness to change, understanding that growth comes from embracing the unknown. I truly believe that life is meant to be lived fully, with no room for regrets or missed opportunities. Approaching life with curiosity and passion is my North Star – I never want to find myself saying, “I wish I had…”
What would you do with the $40,000?Without a doubt, I would accelerate my plans to travel the world as I am eager to immerse myself in the richness of diverse cultures, landscapes, and traditions. This journey of exploration is a lifelong passion, and I eagerly look forward to learning and savoring every experience along the way.
