Gena's 40 over 40 Story


I do everything I can in my corporate leadership role to mentor and build up other women! This movement is another avenue to share how wonderfully made women are at any age!


My eyes


I will be 50 in June, but more than that, I want to share this experience with other women who are being the super hero in their family!


Growing up and in my early twenties I let other people and society put me in a box. I never felt I belonged in that box. When I finally realized that I control how I show up and who I show up as, I gained a ton of confidence and began to love myself.....flaws and all! Being myself and doing what I love is all it ever should have been about!


Love is not always all you need!

My friend and mentor Brenda. She always believed I could do anything, and challenged me many times in my career to do things that were uncomfortable. I grew tremendously from those experiences and learned to value the failures and celebrate the successes along the journey.


I love Monat hair and skincare products! My hair has never been really full and lush, but since I have been using Monat I love my hair again!

My braces! I am hoping they don't distract the intended outcome of the photos.


Giving birth to my second child. It was fast, easy and I got a lot of attention from the nurses for having her naturally. They made me feel like superwoman! Just being a mom.....makes me beautiful!
