Over 40, I embrace growth, wisdom, and authenticity. I’m stronger, more confident, and unapologetically living life on my terms.

I love the confidence and clarity that comes with being over 40. By now, I have a much better sense of who I am, what I want, and what really matters in life. It’s liberating to be less concerned with others’ opinions and more focused on living authentically. I also appreciate the wisdom gained from life experiences and how it allows me to approach challenges with greater perspective and resilience.
How do you stay fabulous?I focus on self-care, both inside and out. Staying active, eating well, and making time for things that bring me joy help keep me energized. I also prioritize mental wellness, like surrounding myself with positive people and maintaining a balanced mindset. And, of course, I never forget to have fun with fashion and express my personal style—it’s all about feeling good from the inside and letting that radiate out.
What would you do with the $40,000?I’d take a balanced approach by allocating the money towards both practical and growth-oriented goals. First, I’d invest a portion to build long-term wealth, whether through a diversified portfolio or into an area like real estate. Next, I’d use some of it to pay off any outstanding debts or set aside funds for future financial security. Lastly, I’d invest in personal development—whether it’s expanding my education, skills, or even a passion project that could lead to future opportunities.
