What’s the best part of life after 40?

The best part of life after 40 is the deep sense of clarity and confidence that comes from truly knowing yourself. By this stage, you’ve weathered enough challenges to understand what matters most and to let go of the need for external validation. You begin to choose peace over perfection, quality over quantity, and authenticity over approval. Relationships become more intentional, your boundaries stronger, and your priorities clearer.

What makes you feel fabulous?

Feeling fabulous, for me, comes from moments when I feel completely aligned with who I am — confident, centered, and unapologetically myself. It’s when I’ve taken care of my mind, body, and spirit — whether that means getting dressed up for the day, walking into work feeling accomplished, or enjoying quiet time with my kids where everything just feels right.

What would you do with $40,000?

If I had $40,000, I would use it to create both stability and joy — a balance between what strengthens my foundation and what feeds my soul. A portion would go toward paying down any lingering debt or legal expenses to relieve stress and create breathing room for the future. I’d set aside some for my children — for their education, experiences, or something meaningful that supports their growth. I’d also invest in something that helps me move forward professionally.
