MANILA, Philippines – We’ve heard many stories about young achievers and women in their 40s or 50s who continue to reach milestones in their career, family and personal life.

What is their journey like?

Top blogger Camille Co is a young achiever who faces challenges – some geared towards her age. People may say, “She’s too young. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about”, or “She’s inexperienced.”

“Instead of focusing on the negative just focus on the positive,” Camille says.

In a different industry like show business, Nikki Gil says that you have to reinvent yourself more often to stay relevant. “There’s nothing wrong with growing older as long as you transition beautifully,” she notes.

Having her own family is yet another milestone for a woman.

As a mother of 3 boys, Mikee Cojuangco has balanced her career and family life throughout the years. “Being a mother, my husband loves my children and only wanting the best for everyone. And for me that’s one of the best things that keeps life really interesting.”

Mandy dela Rama shares that she wishes she has more time for herself but her 9-year old daughter keeps her youthful. She quips, “60 is the new 40, so I guess my mom’s 40 and I’m 20 because my mom is 20 years older than I am.”  

A woman’s journey is full of lessons, challenges and triumphs. No matter what age a woman is, she can be empowered to be the best that she can be.

If you place these 4 women – whose ages range from mid-20s to early 40s – in one room, how do you think their conversation will go?

Get up close and personal with Camille, Nikki, Mikee and Mandy and discover more about them. Listen as they talk about how they are behind the limelight and how they can serve as an inspiration to any woman at any age.
