My toddler and my oldest son are 20 years apart. Being a mom to a toddler at over 40 motivates me to stay healthy, fit, and fabulous!

What I love about being over 40 is the self-acceptance and healthy self-love I've attained. I've learned to cherish the body that has brought three unique humans into the world and has made numerous sacrifices for them. My relationship with myself is now better than ever. I've learned to set healthy boundaries, be gentle with myself, and remain persistent in my journey of self-improvement, which has brought me a sense of fulfillment and contentment that I didn't experience in my younger years.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous through connection with my faith. My relationship with God has grown since I turned 40. I've gained humility and accepted that I do not have all the answers, and that's okay because God knows the plan. Another way I stay fabulous is through creativity, art, and self-expression. I've been an artist for most of my life, which gives me great joy to create. Physically, I stay fit by getting outdoors and exploring nature with my son—finally, skincare. Skincare is so important!
What would you do with the $40,000?Winning the $40,000 would be a game-changer for me. It's the chance to turn my long-held dream of starting a small business into reality. I've always been passionate about entrepreneurship and creating something meaningful for my children. Besides, I'm eager to delve into investing and use some of the money to expand my knowledge in that area. This opportunity fills me with excitement and hope for the future!
