Leona Tolley,
Age 67
Tell me about yourself and how you feel about being a woman over the age of 40.
A single, working woman - blessed to be able to do all that I do.
When do you feel most confident?
when I'm with someone that makes me laugh and see the finer things in life
How did your painful times give you the gift of resilience?
Knowing that bad times do not last forever. Remembering that there is a flip side to everything.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Hang in there; it really does get better.
What would you tell other mature women about stepping out of their comfort zone and doing a photo shoot?
Embrace yourself! You are the woman your family and friends love - love yourself.
