Aging Fiercely: A Story of Self-Confidence and Self-Love

In a world that idolizes youth, today’s Fierce After Forty Alumni, Kathy, teaches us what it means to age fiercely by embracing the beauty and wisdom of aging. She stands as a bright example of a woman with deep-seated self-confidence who is actively cultivating a life that she loves. 

At age 55 and self-described as resilient, loving, and full of gratitude, she fills her days with self-care practices that speak to her spirit, creating, learning, and serving her coaching clients.

A Balanced and Aligned Life

“I am an Outlier. I spend my days working in a community of people who chose to live an extraordinary life. I also coach women who take care of everyone else but themselves to get their Self-Care Sh*t together. My work and my life are balanced and aligned with my values.”

Deep-Seated Confidence

“I am proud of myself for overcoming the deep belief that I was not good enough as a mother, a friend, a wife, at work- everywhere. Now I know myself well enough to know that is not true and that I have so much to share with the world. This belief gives me the confidence to speak up and be seen, seek healthy relationships, and take opportunities for experiences.”

“I define “fierce” as moving through fear with confidence and trust in myself, knowing that I learn something about myself and the world around me from every choice I make and that I will be okay no matter what happens.”

Life After Forty

“Since moving into this decade, I’ve stopped letting the fear of other people’s judgments and opinions impact my decisions about what I do for work, fun, in relationships- Everything.”

“I want others to know that for women over forty, life is JUST beginning! The beginning never ends.  Each phase of life is just a phase. There is always an opportunity to create the life you crave.”

A Positive Image of Aging Fiercely

“It is an honor to be part of the Fierce After Forty Project and to be a positive image of aging, to celebrate the photography experience, and to embrace the wisdom and freedom that comes with it all!”

Join the Movement – Do It Now

“My portraits show my soul in the strength of an experienced woman’s body who has been through it  and still glows, sparkles, and believes in the beauty of life.”  

“If you are reading this and are on the fence about booking your own Fierce After Forty Experience, do not wait a single second longer for the courage, the time, the weight loss, the anything- Do it now! I promise you will wonder why you even waited this long.”

Kathy’s story is a testament to the power of self-love, resilience, and the transformative nature of a Fierce After Forty experience. By taking a chance on herself, she sets the example for her clients and countless others to prioritize themselves through self-care practices that fuel their souls. With self-confidence firmly rooted in self-love, she inspires countless women to invest in themselves, care for themselves, and create a life full of balance and alignment.
