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

The Uncomfortable Cost of staying

People always ask what "work" I've had done.

So I put it all in one place.

I've spent over $1.3 million testing products and treatments on my own face. The Vanity Club is where I put everything I've learned... what works, what's a waste, what I'd do differently, and what I'm using right now.

It's a private community for women who said 'fuck no' to aging gracefully. Skincare, injectables, peptides, hormones, makeup, all of it. Updated constantly.
