What’s the best part of life after 40?

The best part of being 40 is the confidence that comes with truly knowing yourself. You stop seeking validation and start living with purpose. You trust your instincts, protect your peace, and value authenticity over approval. It’s the freedom to choose what aligns with your soul and let go of what doesn’t. Being 40 is powerful, grounded, and beautifully liberating.

What makes you feel fabulous?

What makes me feel fabulous is living authentically and embracing my confidence. I feel my best when I’m aligned with my purpose, nurturing my mind and body, and surrounding myself with positive energy. Knowing my worth, setting boundaries, and choosing peace over pressure remind me how far I’ve come. Feeling fabulous isn’t about perfection. It’s about self-awareness, gratitude, and the power of owning who I am.

What would you do with $40,000?

I’d invest in balance, financial growth paired with personal fulfillment. I’d donate to support breast cancer research and set aside a portion for wellness, and personal development experiences that inspire me. I’d also give back to the causes and communities that helped shape who I am. At this stage in life, it’s about creating freedom and purpose.
