What do you love about being over 40?

For women over 40, being fabulous often means embracing authenticity, confidence, and self-awareness. It’s about owning your story, celebrating your strengths, and continuing to evolve. What you’ve lived through has shaped you into someone with a unique perspective, ready to shine in any role you take on. Your fabulousness is found in your continued growth, compassion, and ability to inspire others by living a life that reflects your true self.

How do you stay fabulous?

By staying open to new ideas, experiences, and perspectives. Curiosity drives you to explore, learn, and continuously grow, which not only fuels your creativity as an artist and designer but also enriches your role as a caregiver and business owner. Being curious means you don’t settle for the status quo—you’re always seeking ways to improve, discover, and adapt. It keeps your mind youthful and engaged, allowing you to navigate life with a sense of wonder and possibility.
