In my 40's I have become the most confident and authentic version of myself, letting go of all the things that were holding me back like drinking and unhelpful thinking. I spent most of my 20's and 30's with low self-esteem, feeling unworthy and ashamed of my mental illnesses. The year I turned 40 was the year I started my business and it turns out entrepreneurship was the best thing for me. I have thrived in my 40's, and learned how to embrace myself including my anxiety and depression!
