What’s the best part of life after 40?

The best part of life at 40 is the sense of confidence and clarity that comes with truly knowing yourself. You’ve lived enough to understand what matters and what doesn’t — you’ve learned to set boundaries, chase what feels right, and let go of what doesn’t serve you.

What makes you feel fabulous?

What makes me feel fabulous is the confidence that comes from truly knowing who I am. I’ve learned to love the woman I’ve become — strong, grounded, and comfortable in my own skin. I feel fabulous when I take care of myself, inside and out, and when I give myself grace instead of judgment.

What would you do with $40,000?

What I’d do with $40,000 depends on balancing joy, growth, and security. I’d start by investing a portion — maybe in something that builds long-term stability, like a retirement fund or a business I believe in. Then, I’d use some of it to create experiences that feed my soul: travel somewhere on my bucket list, take time off to recharge, or learn something new that excites me. I’d also love to give a little back — to a cause that matters to me or someone who could use a helping hand.
