What I love about being over 40 is knowing it’s never too late to set life-changing goals. I’m pursuing a degree now and plan to go to law school next! The only person who can hold me back is me. I love spreading positive energy—it’s empowering to confidently compliment others, lift them up, and remind them not to let anyone steal their joy. I’ve also learned the strength to walk away from toxic relationships because self-love is the foundation for receiving love from others.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by knowing my worth and helping those in need without judgment. I remember when others looked out for me and pay it forward. I don’t let stress or negativity consume me—I learn, grow, and move on. Most importantly, I cherish and love those who love me.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I won $40,000, I’d be incredibly grateful. I’d take my kids back to Arizona to spend time with family, treat loved ones to a nice dinner, pay some bills, and set aside a good portion for law school!
