I will be 45 next month! I have 4 kids and am a OB/Gyn. After 40 is when you finally stop listening to others and start following your heart

I love how comfortable I am in my body as I continue to learn and implement what I uniquely need for exercise, sleep, nutrition and relationships. With our 40s comes hormonal shifts that can feel overwhelming and scary but I feel armed with resiliency and resolve to understand that these changes don’t have to be negative- that they are really a beautiful unfolding of an even better version of my true self.
How do you stay fabulous?I laugh a lot and keep time with my loved ones sacred. I understand the importance of quality sleep. I am intentional about moving my body everyday even if I don’t have time to go to the gym- sometimes I will bring free weights and do a workout outside of my kids’ lessons in the evenings. I honor my spirit and mind by letting go of things I cannot control. I use food as medicine and love trying new foods and recipes. I listen to my body in a way that is new since being 40 and I love it!
What would you do with the $40,000?Ooh good question. I think I would use toward a renovation in my home. With 4 small kids and a puppy, my sacred space is slowly being encroached upon with toys and trinkets.
