Embracing my wisdom, strength, and confidence. Over 40, I own my journey, unapologetically pursuing my passions while lifting others up.
We would like to thank you for supporting Tiffani Carmichael in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
What I love most about being over 40 is the freedom that comes with self-awareness. I’ve learned to let go of the need for validation, and I embrace who I am—flaws and all. There’s a strength in my experiences that empowers me to pursue what I truly want, without hesitation. I’ve found a balance between caring for myself and giving to others, and it feels like I’ve entered a phase of life where I get to live with more clarity and intention.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by prioritizing self-care—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I embrace a healthy lifestyle, staying active and nourishing my body, but I also make time for things that bring me joy and peace. I surround myself with positive people, set boundaries, and never stop learning or exploring new passions. Most importantly, I maintain a mindset of gratitude and self-love, knowing that true beauty comes from within.
What would you do with the $40,000?With the $40,000 prize, I’d invest in my future and my passions. I’d support causes close to my heart, like empowering women or education initiatives. I’d also take time to travel, explore new cultures, and experience personal growth. A portion would go toward something meaningful for my family, while I’d save or invest the rest to ensure long-term financial security and freedom to pursue new opportunities.
