What’s the best part of life after 40?

The best part of life after 40 is finally feeling at home in my own skin. With age has come a deep sense of confidence and clarity about who I am, something I was still searching for in my 20s and 30s. I no longer second-guess myself or seek external validation. I trust my instincts, embrace my strengths, and own my imperfections. There’s something incredibly freeing about stepping into this chapter of life with self-assurance, purpose, and a genuine appreciation for the woman I’ve become.

What makes you feel fabulous?

What makes me feel truly fabulous is living with purpose, helping others and pursuing my passions. There's a deep sense of fulfillment that comes from using my knowledge, my experiences, my music and my heart to make a positive impact. At this stage in life, I know what matters most to me, and giving back while doing what I love makes me feel empowered, radiant, and fully alive. That, to me, is the essence of fabulous.

What would you do with $40,000?

With $40,000, I would create a balance between giving back, taking care of what matters, and making memories that last a lifetime. First, I would plan a meaningful trip with my boys, something unforgettable as making memories are important to me. I’d also use part of the prize to help pay off some medical bills, easing that burden and allowing me to focus more on living fully. And because giving back is such a big part of who I am, I would donate a portion to the animal rescue I foster for.
