With the holidays past and the new year in full swing, Marie Osmond shares with Woman’s World that she has a winning recipe to make 2023 her best year yet: a dash of positive vibes and high hopes, followed by a generous splash of self-love.

“The years from 50 on are the best of our lives— and for me, they’re happening right now!” Marie beams. “Women in this age range, we know who we are and we say, ‘This is who I am!’… that brings so much peace.” At 63 years young, peace is a priority for Marie, who has known her share of hardship, from divorce to losing her parents and her beloved son Michael. But the vivacious brunette has leaned on faith and family to stay in the light and has also learned to make her health a priority—something she encourages other women to do too.

“My life would be so much different if I hadn’t lost 50 pounds,” says Marie, who lost the weight on Nutrisystem and has kept it off. “I learned that by making myself a priority, I not only get to live a full life but the best life. We all deserve to feel the comfort of knowing if we want to do something, we’re healthy enough to do it.”

Another secret to Marie’s blue-sky outlook? Perseverance. “You have to say, ‘So what if I make a mistake?’” she shares. “You pick yourself up and you keep trying. It’s the trying that gives you the self-worth. Self-worth is earned. It comes with saying, ‘You know what? I know I have things to learn, but I want to keep learning.’”
