Legacy In Motion:
40 Women Over 40 Owning Their Story
October 5th, 2025
An Empowering Afternoon
For Women Ready to Rise
This exhibition is a one-of-a-kind celebration honoring the power of lived experience, identity, and personal evolution. Created by Kim Belverud, this intimate gathering was designed to spotlight 40 phenomenal women who have boldly navigated life's chapters and continue to lead with authenticity, courage, and purpose.
Born from a deeply reflective question: What would happen if women gave themselves full permission, without apology, to reimagine and reclaim their voice? This experience is a love letter to the women stepping into new seasons of life. It's inspired by the remarkable, real-life stories we don't hear often enough: the executive who pivoted at 45, the woman who wrote her first novel at 52, the grandmother who started living for herself at 60.
These portraits and stories are a testament to a powerful truth: your timeline is your own. There is no expiration date on your dreams, and your potential only deepens with time. This event is your reminder that it's never too late to rewrite your story, redefine your legacy, and step fully into your power.
Join us for an afternoon of storytelling, connection, and celebration where your story is seen, heard, and deeply honored.
Join us for an inspiring keynote with Dana Bristol-Smith, CEO & Founder of Leap To Success, as she shares compelling stories of women who transformed their lives after 40. Along with actionable insights to help you create your own remarkable journey.
