Turning 40 opened a door to a new me. Maturity set me free to live authentically, with empathy, no judgement and joy.

I love being in my 40s because it brings a sense of freedom and self-assurance that I didn't have before. I've reached a point where I truly understand who I am and what makes me happy, and I no longer feel the need to live up to others' expectations. There’s a beautiful maturity that comes with age, allowing me to focus on my own joy and wellbeing, rather than worrying about what others think of me. This mindset gives me the confidence to embrace life fully, with spontaneity and authenticity.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous after 40 by prioritizing my mental and physical well-being. Meditation helps me stay centered, and I always focus on keeping a positive mindset. I keep my body moving and make sure to stay hydrated, which helps me feel energized and fresh. I never deprive myself of the things I love, finding balance in everything I do, and always wearing a smile. Happiness and self-care are my secrets to staying fabulous!
What would you do with the $40,000?If I won $40k, as an immigrant, my first priority would be to help my family and close friends. I'd ensure their needs are met, whether it's supporting them financially, helping with education, or securing better living conditions. I'd also invest in creating opportunities for us to grow together, and give back to the community that has supported me. This win would be a chance to provide stability for my loved ones and to continue pursuing our dreams.
