Show Notes
It's my 49th birthday, and instead of dreading getting older the way we're all trained to, I'm doing the one ritual that changed how I feel about aging for good. If your birthday has started to feel like a countdown, if you're seeing fine lines and wrinkles that feel like they showed up overnight, like your face fell off a cliff while you were sleeping, if you feel yourself going invisible after 40 and you've laid awake at 3am doing the math on everything you think you've lost... this one is for you. For the first time on camera, I'm taking the five biggest lies we all get handed about getting older, and I'm burning every single one of them.

This one is for every woman who's been told it's all downhill after 40. I'm a skincare founder and a certified clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works, on my face and everywhere else. First I get into what hot af at any age actually means, because it was never just the outside, and I tell you the story of the worst birthday of my life, the one where I decided I wasn't special and didn't deserve anything. I take you through the morning I turned 40, the birthday texts from people I knew telling me to enjoy being invisible, and exactly what I built out of that instead. Then I walk you through the five lies about getting older that I believed for way too long, from "aging gracefully" to "aging is a privilege" to the biggest one my own family taught me, and I set all five on fire. I close with the thing I do every single birthday, and an open invitation to do it right along with me, whether it's your birthday today or just the day you decide to start over.

I'm 49, and these are the 10 things I actually do that make me look and feel hot AF after 40. Some of them are about my skin, my clothes, and my heels.

Under-eye filler was the wrong fix for almost everything I was actually trying to fix, and I found that out after years and a stupid amount of money spent on my own face. What most people call under-eye aging is really five completely different problems, hollowing, darkness, crepey skin, fine lines, and true bags, and filler is only built for one of them. This is exactly what I do instead now, and how to figure out which under-eye problem is actually yours before you spend a dollar.

If I had to start over at 40, knowing everything I know now after spending $1.3 million on beauty, these are the ten things I'd do first, in the order that actually works. This is the anti-aging roadmap for women over 40 I wish someone had handed me, and no, Botox isn't one of them.
