You’re not crazy for wanting to be wildly successful and hot over 40.

You’re also not crazy for noticing that… it’s getting harder. In this episode of I’d Like to Thank MySELF, I’m sharing the real story behind what it actually takes to stay hot at 48 while building a $100M brand, raising a daughter, and refusing to fade into the background just because society says it’s “your turn” to disappear. We’ll talk about: The hallway moment that made me “vain” forever—and why I’m not apologizing for it Why I’m proudly anti‑aging but pro getting older (there’s a difference) The brutal reality of perimenopause, hormones, brain fog, and 3am anxiety The real cost: the money, time, and emotional energy it takes to look and feel incredible over 40 The judgment women get either way—whether we “let ourselves go” or dare to stay hot Why choosing vanity can be a power move when you’re building a category‑of‑one life and business This isn’t a tutorial. It’s a transmission. I’m pulling back the curtain on what I actually do, pay, and sacrifice to feel confident in my skin while I build a living brand—and why I believe you’re allowed to want beauty, money, impact, and peace all at once. If you’re a woman over 40 who Is successful but still feels overlooked or invisible Wants her outside to finally match the power she knows she has inside Is done pretending she “doesn’t care how she looks” Is ready to become undeniable in her industry and in her own life …this episode is for you.

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.
