I’m very proud how much adversity I’ve overcome! It’s made me so much stronger, but it’s also shaped my mind, body and spirit. I have a deep sense of empathy for other women and love helping them develop into strong, empowered, confident and independent individuals. Sharing the virtues of aging is a key part of my coaching process and being a role model for women in their 50’s is such a privilege. I strive to be an inspiration to others and an example of how to create the lives they so deserve!
How do you stay fabulous?My motto is everything in moderation. Spending time with good friends is a big part of my life. I believe in surrounding myself with positive energy. Life is too short to waste on being unhappy. I seek to find enjoyment in my day to day life (it’s the little things that make me happy) and believe the best accessory is a big, bright smile!
What would you do with the $40,000?I definitely believe in giving back, so some of if would go to our local church and one of my personal favorite organizations St. Jude Children’s Hospital. My husband and I have been married for 12 years and still haven’t had a honeymoon yet. We have been dreaming of taking a trip to the Maldives and with this money, we would definitely be able to make that happen! The rest would be allocated towards start up costs for a small business I’m launching in 2025.
