Being over 40 means embracing confidence, wisdom, and self-awareness that only come with time. I love the freedom to prioritize what truly matters, like family and career, without the need for external validation. There’s a deeper appreciation for my journey, resilience from past challenges, and clarity in life’s direction. It’s a time to focus on balance and fulfillment, enjoying personal growth and the joys of both work and family life with a stronger sense of purpose.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by embracing self-care, staying active, and nourishing my mind and body. I focus on mental well-being through mindfulness and maintaining positive relationships. Keeping curious and learning new things keeps me vibrant, while exercise and healthy eating fuel my energy. I balance career and family with self-love, celebrating achievements while being kind to myself in the process. Staying fabulous is about authenticity, confidence, and living with purpose!
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I’d invest in experiences that enrich my family, like a meaningful trip. I’d also focus on personal development, using the funds for self-care, fitness, or education. Additionally, I’d donate a portion to support healthcare or mental health initiatives, ensuring the money makes a positive impact on others, aligning with my passion for well-being and community. It’s about balance—investing in both personal growth and giving back.
