Ms. Jana

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO CELEBRATE BEING FAB OVER 40?

I needed to do something to see the beauty in myself.

WHAT DID YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE?

Being able to be free and gain confidence in my self.

HOW HAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BODY CHANGED

OVER TIME?

My self esteem was dumped on when I was a teenager and it has taken

me 30+ years to get that confidence back.

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED TO APPRECIATE MORE AS YOU HAVE AGED?

I have lived with a chronic illness (Kidney failure) since I was about 4 so being thankful everyday that I have survived and trying to live each day

the best that I can.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND MEET YOUR 18 YEAR OLD SELF, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO HER?

I would tell her to be stronger and stand up to the people who doubted her. Don't take everything at face value especially if its intentionally putting you down and to trust her instincts better than she did.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO OR FAVORITE QUOTE?

You don't always have to be strong. Sometimes you need to scream, cuss, or have a really good cry. But you always need to pull yourself back together and be the badass warrior you were meant to be!
