As an EA, a single mom, a daughter and a sister, I’ve always believed in self care first. Being 40 means I made it and can do anything!

I love how authentic I feel as a mother and a woman. Life’s challenges have made me a more versatile person, able to understand and connect with all ages of people. I’m comfortable with my body, my successes and failures, and my love for people is the same. I enjoy what life has to offer more now because I have a deeper appreciation for it.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay true to myself, and I am flexible with life’s changes. I’m good to people and I try to enjoy all the good moments, to the fullest. Self care is essential, and I encourage others to be the same, by way of example. Being good to yourself and to others is a verb, and keeps you fabulous.
What would you do with the $40,000?With this money, I would give myself a small rest bite with my son- a small vacation for mommy and son time, but also self care time. I would then enroll us both in healthy paid activities- yoga, a sport, an annual meal membership and a gym membership for us to partake in together. With the rest of the money, I would invest it in creating items for children and women’s empowerment. I would start an account, similar to Etsy, with items sold that are geared towards helping mothers and children.
