What’s the best part of life after 40?

After surviving sepsis and multiple complications, I'm honestly just so grateful to be alive and especially grateful for my loved ones and friends. They advocated for me, spoke for me when I was unconscious and couldn't and continue to support me as I heal.

What makes you feel fabulous?

Reflecting on the joy in each day. The wisdom and gratitude this chapter brought to my life. The love, laughter, friendship, and ferocity that my friends and family showed me. All the adventures I have had and will continue to have once I return 100%

What would you do with $40,000?

I would pay off some outstanding medical bills, make a donation to a sepsis foundation, start a blog about this health journey in hopes of connecting with others and take a trip!! Like I said earlier, there are so many more adventures to be had!
