I'm a breast cancer survivor, a mother and a proud small business owner. I'm like a phoenix who has risen from the flames and ash.
We would like to thank you for supporting Misty Gorum in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
My entire mindset is completely different from my younger years due to all of my life experiences. Without going through the stages of early adulthood, college, career, motherhood I wouldn't be the person that I am today. Maturity is definitely a gift that should be celebrated and talked about openly. Never be ashamed of your age because it's only a number. What counts is the impact the years have had on your ability to love and to be loved. That's what matters most in this life.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by being spontaneous and fun when it comes to everyday, mundane things. I have a very quirky type of personality and I try to keep things on the lighter side. My children are my whole world and laughter is my favorite medicine. I Never take myself too seriously. I'm easy going and try to be as forgiving to myself for the things that make me human. You're only as old as you feel and I feel like I'm 25 most days. Lol
What would you do with the $40,000?The $40,000 would be the greatest blessing for my family and I. We might finally be able to purchase a home. That's been my dream for awhile now and I'd feel so blessed to have a home of my own. I'd also put the funds into my business to keep growing my brand and elevate my marketing and advertising. I'd update my equipment and do some upgrading of my practices and policies to bring new life into it.
