The Girlfriend, Shine! Awards

 Three women 40+ will be honored for refusing to dim their light—despite exhaustion, obstacles, and every reason they could have quit.

This is not about women who have it all together.
It’s about women who kept going anyway.

Women who:

• Showed up when it would’ve been easier to stop
   
• Built something meaningful while carrying real responsibility
   
• Are still standing after life tested them hard
   

Why This Matters

Seeing these women honored is a reminder that progress counts. That perseverance matters. That you don’t have to be polished or perfect to be worthy of recognition.

You’ll recognize pieces of yourself in their stories.
And you’ll remember—you’re not behind, and you’re not alone.
