My younger self wasn’t ready to evolve in the way I have at 46. Transforming my health has empowered me in a way I never thought possible.
We would like to thank you for supporting TK Quann 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.
If I asked my 20-year-old self: Do you think you will be happier and healthier in your 40s than your 20s? I would’ve said a resounding, “No!” But that’s exactly where I am in life. Redefining happiness in my 40s, and what’s truly important has been so transformative. The woman I’ve become and the lessons I’ve learned at this age wouldn’t have been possible in my 20s and 30s, and I’m grateful to be on this path. Happiness looks different on me now that I’m over 40. And I love it!
How do you stay fabulous?Choosing joy and health is my way of staying fabulous and it extends throughout all facets of my life. And I never thought prioritizing my health would be an extension of joy, or that I would consider it a form of self love. However, after neglecting it for so long, I understand how paramount it is and just how special it is to my happiness.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would donate a portion to an organization I love that provides healing modalities and therapy for survivors of abuse. As a woman that that has faced daily trauma for over 10 years during her childhood, I understand the power of healing and self love. Often as women we ignore carving out me-time—focusing on everyone but ourselves. Also I’d use a portion to dedicate time to further my own healing and growth. The happiness and insight I gain through healing is so impactful to my life!
