Over 40, I don’t shrink—I shine. Every trip, every laugh, every memory is proof that I live life my way, fierce and unapologetic.

What’s the best part of life after 40?

Life after 40 feels like finally exhaling. I’ve been through heartbreaks, setbacks, and moments that nearly broke me—but they shaped the woman I am now. I’ve learned to stop living for others’ approval and start living for my own peace. My circle is small but genuine, my heart open to travel, laughter, and new experiences. I’m proud of every scar, every lesson, and every risk. I don’t need to prove anything anymore—I’m simply living, fully and freely, as me.

What makes you feel fabulous?

What makes me fabulous isn’t just my strength—it’s my growth. Alopecia taught me beauty without hair and confidence without perfection. I still have my struggles with self-esteem, but I’m learning every day to love myself more deeply. I’m not flawless, just real—embracing my reflection, finding courage in vulnerability, and reminding myself that even with limits, I still shine in my own way.

What would you do with $40,000?

If I had the money, I’d first pay off my debt—my biggest priority for peace of mind. I’d invest a portion to build steady passive income, buy a small condo or co-op to finally have a place of my own, and set aside a safety fund for life’s surprises. Whatever remains, I’d give to my sister from another mother to help with her medical bills—because success means nothing if I can’t share it with those I love.
