Coulter Encourages Perseverance at TAF Pageant Workshop

Contestants preparing for the upcoming January Tennessee Association of Fairs Pageant Workshop were met with a powerful message Saturday when Terry Coulter, the 2025 Ms Tennessee Senior America and First Runner-Up on the national level, spoke to the group at the Murfreesboro Embassy Suites.

Coulter, a personal trainer and Murfreesboro resident, shared her four-year journey through the Ms Tennessee Senior America Pageant. She admitted she had never competed in a pageant before a client encouraged her to try. What followed was a story of determination, disappointment, and ultimately, triumph.

“I thought I would win that first time,” she told the audience with a smile. “But I didn’t. And then I didn’t win the second time either. Or the third.”

Through each setback, she said something inside her simply wouldn’t let her stop. She returned year after year, changing her talent, her style, even her hair—doing everything she could to give her best.

But her real message wasn’t about the crown.

“You’re all beautiful,” Coulter said. “But what do you look like when you don’t win? People are always watching your character in those moments.”

She explained that losing—with grace, strength, and a willingness to grow—taught her more than any title. “I’m actually glad I lost,” she said. “Because who I became through those losses is something no one can take from me.”

When her name was finally called—Ms Tennessee Senior America of 2025, and later First Runner-Up at the National Senior America Pageant in Atlantic City—she said the moment was far sweeter because of the long road it took to get there.

Coulter also shared how she’s raising her granddaughter and hopes to pass along one of life’s most important lessons: “How to lose well. You fall down, but you get up.”

Now 65, Coulter trains women—mostly over 50—helping them build strength and confidence as they age. She says her favorite victories are when clients tell her they can now lift heavy bags of mulch on their own or handle tasks they once avoided.

For anyone wishing to reach her, Coulter can be contacted through Facebook under Terry Hale Coulter.

As contestants head into January’s competition season, Coulter left them with one final reminder that resonated through the room:

“Enjoy the journey. That’s what lasts

I have been fortunate enough to attend several fairs this year, although not as many as I would have liked. Earlier this year, I made it a priority to visit Middle Tennessee if possible. As an East Tennessee director, I have had the pleasure of developing a closer relationship with Heath and Gina. The 3.5-hour trip was well worth it. Their fair is impressive, boasting a large size and growing attendance. I hope you enjoy the photo collection. Thank you, Middle Tennessee Fair, for your hospitality. I thoroughly enjoyed your fair.
