Melissa Gibbs Poland

I’d have to say my confidence. When I was young, I spent so much of my time thinking I wasn’t worth anything and now that’s not the case.

What is Fab Over 40?

What do you love about being over 40?

I love that I’m more carefree than I’ve ever been. I love that I don’t let other peoples opinions of me rule my entire life. I do what I love to do, I behave the way I want to behave, I say what I want to say. Of course I still keep it civil but I don’t consider how others will perceive me first. I am just true to myself.

How do you stay fabulous?

I throw my passion into things I love. I love doing Zumba, I also run regularly. I enjoy my body’s ability to move while I still can. I also try to lead by example. I want to show my girls that they are capable of anything.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I’d probably pay off some debt and then put the rest aside for my children’s college fund or possibly retirement.
