Being over 40 is empowering. I love this stage of life because it brings confidence, clarity, and the freedom to embrace who I truly am. There’s a sense of liberation from the pressures of youth, and I’ve learned to prioritize what truly matters. Being 40 allows me to celebrate my accomplishments, while still feeling energized to pursue new goals. I love having the wisdom to make better choices, the courage to take risks, and the strength to inspire others to do the same.

Staying fabulous at 40 is about embracing self-love, confidence, and balance. I prioritize my physical and mental well-being by staying active and eating healthily. Surrounding myself with positive people, including my children and close circle of friends, keeps me energized and motivated. I continue to challenge myself by pursuing new goals, learning, and taking on new projects. Ultimately, staying fabulous means embracing who I am, loving where I am in life, and my identity as a Deaf woman.

I’d first invest in my children’s education, empowering them to chase their dreams. I’d also seek experiences that enrich my soul—like traveling to new places or returning to Italy to relive its beauty. A portion would go to self-care, creating a space that inspires peace and growth, and I’d donate to causes uplifting the Deaf community and education. The rest would fuel future adventures, ensuring that I continue to dream, grow, and inspire others to do the same!
