When you hit 40, you think to yourself, wow, now what? What used to seem so old, now is so young, so empowered, and so strong. What I love about being 43 years old is that I feel like I have lived a great last two decades of adulthood where I experienced some of life's greatest miracles, and now I can focus on being a role model for those younger women, and for my two children, as I teach them to be strong and confident.
How do you stay fabulous?It's easy to get caught up in the hustle of life being over 40. As a busy mom, there is sometimes little time for self-care. It's so important for women to take time for themselves to stay mentally and physically strong and happy. I make sure to dedicate "me" time each day for fitness, I make sure my family and I are eating clean food, and I make sure that no matter what the day brings me, that I always smile.
What would you do with the $40,000?I was blindsided this year with a cancer diagnosis. In March of 2024, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, which came as a complete shock to me and my family. I would take the $40k and apply the funds to advocate for clean food in our schools as our children deserve this. I believe that the start to healthy children starts with diet. We as a nation need to focus on providing clean, organic, non-processed foods for our children in schools, and this $40k will help kick-off my mission.
