MORE ABOUT THE 40 OVER 40 PROJECT

There has never been a better time in history to be a woman over 40!

  • Let’s celebrate that a woman’s value and beauty does not diminish with age.

  • Help us tell your story about what it means to be over 40 today.

  • Honor your beauty and strength; appreciate every scar, every line and every grey (or purple) hair.

We intend to disrupt and transform the way we are viewed (or forgotten) by the media and society by sharing  beautiful, authentic images and real stories of ourselves.

This is your chance to be seen and heard!

WHY OVER 40, WHY ME AND WHY NOW?

Every woman is beautiful in her own unique and intriguing way, with her own unique stories and traces of her life that both soften and deepen as she ages. The 40+-year-old woman is the largest growing segment of our population and she deserves to be celebrated.

45 was one of the most pivotal years of my life; being diagnosed with and undergoing treatment for breast cancer. And I knew then, I didn’t want to disappear. 13 years later, I am still here and more visible than ever. Several of the pictures you see scattered around this page; those are me in all my self-portrait glory. I want to show the world who you are in all of YOUR glory.

There is a REVOLUTION happening NOW celebrating women
40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and beyond!  As women age they often shrink back into themselves, they step aside, to make room for the next/younger generation. Now is the time for you to boldly step back into YOUR light that is so uniquely your own and let it shine.
The revolution wants you. It needs you. It is within you...
and I want to bring it out of you so that you SHINE!

Please join me on a fun, transformational and incredible adventure.
