I am fabulously over 40 because I am not only my own person, but in my 40s I have become my OWN WOMAN!! Who empowers myself daily!

I love who I have been built to become in my 40’s! Becoming a single mom in my late 20’s taught me so much of my own personal strength and determination with a hunger and drive to succeed through perseverance. I love that have and am able to help others through knowledge I gained from the many challenges I have had to face and overcome or by simply telling my story. But most of all I love knowing exactly who I am and what I’m capable of achieving!
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous first of all by continuing to stay true to myself. At a young age I had to have spinal surgery, and then was later diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Upon becoming a single woman and a single mom I had to learn quick how to not only survive but succeed. So I took power engineering, but then decided I didn’t wanna build anyone else’s empire, I wanted to build my own, and do something I love and where I could make a difference by helping others. So I started my own pest control company.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would definitely invest in growing my business to secure mine and my family’s future. I’d also Pay off some bills. But the thing I would love to do most is go on a girls trip with my daughter to Greece. It’s been on our bucket list to do together and would be amazing to get the chance to do it! And I would love to be able to help with local animal shelters and fosters as one of my biggest passions in life are animals and helping to get better laws in protecting their rights!
