Life after 40 is adventurous & fulfilling. I became a grandmother; an empty nester; rebranded myself; my business & even went skydiving!
We would like to thank you for supporting Vanessa Graber 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.
I grew up very quickly when I was kicked out of home at the age of 16; without the control and safety of the only family and community I ever knew. I chose to speak up for myself; question things that didn't make sense. I questioned the beliefs & teachings; trying to figure out who I was; but there was no space for that in our home. I chose to find my own way & make my own family. From living life under my parents terms; then for my husband & children...now I live for ME!!!
How do you stay fabulous?I am taking control of myself and my life for ME!!! It is challenging to balance and manage the responsibilities of life; working full-time during the day; running my own business and still making time for family and friends. I struggle with depression and anxiety; but I am fortunate to work with my family doctor, NHP's & therapists to find some solutions that work for me. I am grateful and determined to continue moving, growing & learning every single day.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would likely split the 40K up to pay my line of credit off; go on a vacation somewhere; invest & put towards my personal and professional goals.
