What’s the best part of life after 40?

Life after 40 has been a beautiful blend of resilience, redemption, and rebirth. I experienced the miracle of becoming a mother through IVF at 45 and then faced breast cancer at 50. Both changed me in ways that deepened my faith and gratitude. This season is about grace and purpose. I no longer strive for perfection but for peace. Every challenge reminded me that God’s plan is greater than any timeline, and every miracle showed me that faith truly moves mountains.

What makes you feel fabulous?

I feel fabulous when I embrace every part of my story—the survivor, the mother, the dreamer, and the creator. Walking in faith and helping other women see their own light fills me with purpose. Whether I am building my beauty brand or mentoring women through business and healing, I feel most alive when I am using my journey to empower others. True fabulousness comes from faith, freedom, and a heart that keeps shining no matter what it has endured.

What would you do with $40,000?

I would use the $40,000 to give back to women who are fighting cancer and rebuilding their lives, and to expand my beauty brand by adding another mobile lip cart. That second cart would create opportunities for women to regain their confidence and independence, turning pain into purpose and purpose into impact. I would also use part of it to pay off remaining medical bills from my own cancer treatment, closing that chapter in full faith and gratitude.
