I’m 48 now. And I’m done choosing. For years, I bought into the lie that I had to pick a lane: smart or pretty, spiritual or wealthy, good mom or successful CEO. Trying to “balance it all” didn’t make me happy. It made me burnt out, resentful, and shrinking myself to keep everyone else comfortable. In this episode of I’d Like To Thank MySELF, I’m raising a glass to the decision that changed everything: the moment I stopped apologizing for wanting money, beauty, and peace all at the same time. We’re talking about earned confidence after 40, the midlife glow up no one talks about, and why wanting more isn’t selfish but rather information that can guide you. We’ll get into perimenopause, protecting your energy, curating the guest list for your next chapter, and why being “high maintenance” is actually what lets you be low maintenance in the life you’re building. If you’re a woman in business over 40 who’s tired of feeling guilty for wanting it all, this one’s for you. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN: What earned confidence feels like after 40 (and why you can’t fake it in your 20s) How to stop wasting energy on people who are committed to misunderstanding you Why your glow up has to be an identity shift, not just new skincare or Botox How to curate the “guest list” for your next chapter so not everyone gets to come A new way to look at desire so wanting money, beauty, and more stops feeling wrong How following my own desire led me to build Rewritten Beauty and my next level of work If you’re a woman over 40 building a business and a life you’re obsessed with, hit subscribe for more raw episodes on confidence after 40, money mindset, beauty, and becoming undeniable.

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. Things I Mentioned: Rewritten Show The Face Up serum My eye retinol My peptide eye cream My at-home radiofrequency device
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.
