The 40 Over 40 Project
Karma Weiss,
Age xx
Tell me about yourself and how you feel about being a woman over the age of 40.
The beginning of my 40’s brought many life changes. Change is often hard. But, I was able to use turning 40 as a reset button. I learned to cede control over many aspects of life and I found myself happier for it.
When do you feel most confident?
The key to confidence for me is self care. Making my health and wellness a priority has provided a healthy level of self confidence.
How did your painful times give you the gift of resilience?
No one’s life is without difficult times. My challenges have enabled me to be a more empathetic and supportive mom, friend and teacher. I have also learned to pause, breathe and the reset.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Learn to listen to your intuition and be confident enough to follow it.
What would you tell other mature women about stepping out of their comfort zone and doing a photo shoot?
Pictures capture a moment in time and remind us of people, places, feelings and stories. Don’t shy away from being in a photo. Those pictures will ultimate be memories of you for your family and friends and serve as a reminder of our life as we grow older.
