Once upon a time, somebody coined the term \u201cover the hill,\u201d and turning 40 became regarded as a dreaded milestone. The big 4-0 became synonymous with the idea that it\u2019s all downhill from there. But in reality, that couldn\u2019t be farther from the truth for women over 40!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age is just a number, and while turning 40 is a big moment, it doesn\u2019t make you any less capable than you were in your 20s or 30s. Case in point: These women over 40 who are completely owning it in life and in love. They\u2019re proof that age is just a number, and that success can thrive at any life stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vera Wang<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is Vera Wang owning it over the age of 40\u2014she didn\u2019t even start designing wedding gowns until she turned 40. After she opened her first bridal boutique in New York<\/a>, the rest was history. Vera has designed gowns for celebrities like Michelle Obama, Victoria Beckham, and Kim Kardashian. In addition to her gorgeous dresses and her Kohl\u2019s line, Simply Vera, she also lends her name to shoe, jewelry, fragrance, eyewear, and home goods collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonia DeCosimo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning 40 shouldn\u2019t signify the need to \u201chave it all figured out,\u201d because everybody\u2019s path is different. If you\u2019re not ready, why settle down just because it\u2019s what other people are doing? That\u2019s the mentality of dating and relationship author Tonia DeCosimo. She recently self-published a memoir, Single and Not Settling<\/em><\/a>, about her experiences dating at 40. Tonia writes openly and honestly about everything from online dating to broken engagements, offering readers an inside look at searching for love later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris Jenner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business manager, executive producer, reality TV star, author, talk show host, momager extraordinaire. Kris Jenner wears a lot of hats, and she does them all expertly. Regardless of your opinion of the Kardashian family, there\u2019s no denying that she\u2019s one of the hardest working women in Hollywood. Kris has been at it for decades. She\u2019s 61 and showing no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jenny Lawson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might know Jenny Lawson from her wildly popular website, The Bloggess. Or maybe you\u2019ve read her New York Times<\/em> bestselling books Let\u2019s Pretend This Never Happened<\/em>, Furiously Happy<\/em>, and You Are Here: An Owner\u2019s Manual for Dangerous Minds<\/em>. Jenny attracts big audiences because she writes openly and honestly about her struggles with mental health, including depression, anxiety, avoidant personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition to her musings on mental health, she also writes about her relationship with her husband, Victor, and the joys of raising their daughter, Hailey. Jenny completely owns where she is, and it\u2019s that level of candor that keeps her readers coming back for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angelina Jolie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to believe that Angelina Jolie is in her 40s. Partly because she looks so good, but mostly because she\u2019s accomplished so much for others in such a short amount of time. Angie is a selfless humanitarian who uses her celebrity status for good. She advocates for refugees with the UN, fights tirelessly for human rights, and works to educate women about important health matters. Even though she\u2019s technically in her second act, we think there will be many more acts to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re nearing 40, not quite there yet, or you passed it long ago, own it! These inspiring women certainly are. Remember, the number of candles on your birthday cake doesn\u2019t dictate your success. With the right mindset, you can thrive at any age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
