Nicole Hardin

I made the decision to change my life, after losing my best friend to cancer. I’ve lost 78 lbs. and I stay active despite chronic pain.

What do you love about being over 40?

I’m comfortable in my skin & I know who I am. I say what I mean and I advocate for myself. I understand how important it is to ask for help. I’m a former nurse, and had an identity crisis when I had to give up my career due to illness. I now understand what I do for work, doesn’t determine my worth. Career achievements have nothing to do with my worth as a person. I was born worthy!

How do you stay fabulous?

I take care of my skin- I get regular facials, microneedling, and peels. I love trying new skin care products. I also take care of myself by working out & eating well. I get regular manicures/pedicures. I love fashion & putting together outfits. When you look good, you feel good. And I own a boutique called SHE (She Hipster Emporium) I especially like that my boutique is size-inclusive. I enjoy traveling-Alaska, Greece, & Italy are my top favorites. My husband and I love cruises.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would invest some of the 40,000 into my families businesses. My husband & I are both self-employed. I would also use some for travel, projects around the house, and to start another business. I’ve also had a goal to start a nonprofit for mental health resources. I saw how lacking those so-called resources were when I was struggling with my mental health. I want to help people struggling with depression and anxiety, especially those who don’t have the finances for therapy or medications.
