Khloé Kardashian Feels 'So Good' as She's in the 'Best Shape' of Her Life at 40: 'It's the Absolute Best'

Khloé Kardashian is thriving at age 40.

The Good American co-founder hit the major milestone in June and decided to put any drama aside once and for all.

"When you’re young, you think 40 is so old, and now I’m like, 'Wait — I feel so good!' I am in the best shape of my life. I’m doing new career stuff. I’ve only been 40 for about six months, but it’s the absolute best," the reality star gushed in a recent interview.

"You don’t give a s--- about some of the stuff you once did. Intentionally, at 39, I tried to close a lot of chapters. I called it shedding — shedding this decade of my 30s and this energy I wanted to leave behind," she revealed. "There are so many new things that I’m doing in my first year of 40 that I know for a fact my 40s and on are going to be f------ incredible."

The culmination of COVID-19, issues with her ex-boyfriend and baby daddy Tristan Thompson and the scrutiny of living life in the public eye made The Kardashians star less inclined to reach out to friends or take chances in previous years. "The pandemic really made me a recluse. It made me super socially anxious once we got back to the real world. And for some reason I got really insecure about doing anything on my own. 'What if this failed?' There were so many negative thoughts in my head," she explained.

Luckily, her older sister Kim Kardashian is her biggest cheerleader. "I will say my sister Kim has really held my hand through so many dark phases for me. And my mom [Kris Jenner]. But Kim has really been this crusader for me," the Revenge Body alum said.

"I feel like she has always been holding that light at the end of the tunnel, drawing me closer to the light," Khloé noted of Kim, 44, and her postivity. "I’m just really grateful for that relationship. When people see things in you that you can’t see in yourself and they keep reminding you — it’s such a special quality. We all need those champions."

The mother-of-two now has her focus on her upcoming podcast, set to launch in early 2025, and her highly anticipated fragrance XO Khloé, which will be released on December 8. "It was something that I’ve always wanted to do on my own," she said of creating the scent.

"I’ve done collaborations with my sisters or my ex-husband [Lamar Odom], but I was very nervous to do it on my own. It’s very vulnerable. It’s a lot of pressure, but I wanted to push my boundaries," she explained.
