I'd Like To Thank Myself

We thank everyone else for our success... friends, team, mentors. But when’s the last time you thanked the only person who actually dragged you through hell and back? YourSELF. This show is my love letter to the version of you who doesn’t get enough credit. The you who kept going when it would’ve been easier to quit. I’m pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to be 48, building a skincare company, navigating perimenopause, raising a teenager, and refusing to become invisible. The stuff nobody talks about after 40. And how I’m rewriting all of it. Sometimes it’s just me. Sometimes it’s founders, creatives, and icons who’ve rewritten everything too. Always, it’s the raw truth. Nothing filtered. Nothing softened. Nothing for show. Just the truth... and a drink. Every episode ends the same way: we raise a glass and say the thing most people are too humble to admit: I’d like to thank mySELF.

    My Entire Day of Eating + Supplements at 49: NAD/NMN, Methylene Blue + More

    This is my entire day of eating and every supplement I take at 49, from the first thing I take on an empty stomach to the once-a-month one most people have never heard of. NAD and NMN, methylene blue, creatine, collagen, magnesium, and what I actually eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For anyone who has no idea which supplements are worth it and which ones might just be expensive pee. Get My Free Hot AF Supplement Guide. Every supplement I take, how much, and when.

I'm a skincare founder and a certified clinical nutritionist, I've spent 20 years coaching celebrities, and I spent 16 years training health professionals. First I take you through my morning, including the antioxidant that tastes like a hard-boiled egg that's been through some things, what goes into my one coffee of the day, and why my breakfast has departments. Then I get a little nerdy: what I take for my mitochondria, the longevity drink that caught my attention because of one mouse study, and the one that turns your pee blue-green. From there it's lunch, the thing I take so I'm never bloated, the sleepy girl mocktail that replaced my evening wine, a probiotic for my lady parts, and the once-a-month one for zombie cells. Plus the night I sat in a one-window apartment in Hollywood and decided I was done.

    My Face Looks Better at 48 Than It Did at 38. Here’s What I Did.

    This is my personal experience, not medical advice. I'm not a doctor, and I don't even play one on the internet. The GLP-1 I take is prescribed and monitored by my doctor, and using it for my skin is off-label. If you're curious about a GLP-1, what I'd do is work with your doctor, get your labs run, and build a plan with your provider. I don't sell any medication, and I won't tell you where to buy one. Most women on GLP-1s are terrified of Ozempic face. The 3-step Collagen Defense system I built BEFORE I ever started microdosing tirzepatide is the reason I'm not walking around with it. Today I'm walking you through the science (and what hasn't been proven yet), why my doctor and I picked the smallest possible dose every other week, the full protocol, and the part the doctors won't say out loud. In this episode you'll discover: The clinical trial happening RIGHT NOW that's testing whether tirzepatide slows agingWhy I'm on tirzepatide and what that has to do with the Ozempic face horror storiesThe two completely opposite things a GLP-1 may be doing to your skin at the same timeWhy my doctor and I chose "smallest possible, every other week" for my faceThe 3-step Collagen Defense system I built before I ever startedThe bonus layer to add if you've got the resources and accessThe first time anyone ever told me "you don't need that"... and what it has to do with the prescription I just picked upA take on the people who call taking a GLP-1 "cheating"This is for women over 40 considering a GLP-1, already on one, or anyone who heard the horror stories about Ozempic face and wanted the actual science.

    The Hormones That Keep Me Hot at 49 (And The Peptide I Take Every Morning)

    I'm 49, I'm perimenopausal, and these are the hormones I use every single day to stay hot as f**k through the whole thing. Plus the practices that keep them working, and the one peptide I take every single morning... and how I take it is probably not what you think. Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan?

I was gaslit for over five years before I started hormone replacement therapy. I read my own labs, half the contacts in my phone are doctors, I've been a clinical nutritionist coaching health professionals for over 20 years... and I'm still dialing this in. First, I get into the hormone I rub on in 15 seconds every morning, the one that finally got me sleeping through 3 a.m. again, and the meeting full of businesswomen where it felt like somebody set the room on fire. Then the lab result I swore had to be somebody else's (it wasn't), what changes if you're losing weight right now, and the one women don't bring up at brunch. Then I walk through the sneaky face trick I wish I'd known about 10 years ago, how I keep score at home (sorry, Zak), what Mary asked me on her massage table that I still can't shake, the labs I make sure get run every three months, and the peptide I take every single morning. What it's actually for might surprise you.

    My Entire Beauty Maintenance Calendar at 49

    This is my entire beauty maintenance calendar at 49, every single thing I do to stay hot as f**k, from what happens every morning and night to the stuff I only do a few times a year.

Then I get into Sunday, my Everything Day, and the things I used to pay other people to do that I now do myself. From there I go all the way out: the in-office treatments I keep up and how often I actually get them, the one I'm testing on my neck right now, the yearly medical stuff I do not play around with, and the lab result that made me lower one of my hormones.

    I Spent $1.3M on My Looks. These 10 Things Mattered More.

    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. The one that made the biggest difference has nothing to do with Botox, filler, treatments, or anything I can buy. Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan? Take the quiz Join The Vanity Club. Where women over 40 come to look hot AF. No apologies. No judgment. Rewritten Beauty. The serum I built when I turned 40 and refused to disappear. Use code MYSELF for 15% off.  This one is for every woman who has ever felt like she was supposed to make herself a little smaller so everybody else could stay comfortable. I'm a skincare founder and a certified clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a face. But I was not born knowing how to walk into a room. I was the girl who got laughed at for walking across one. First I get into the things people notice before you ever open your mouth: how I take care of myself every single day, the two-minute ritual I do while my serum goes on, why I stopped apologizing for caring how I look, and how I figured out exactly what to wear for my body so I'm not trying on a new personality every time a trend changes. Then it gets personal. I tell the story of the day I stood up in class to enter a beauty pageant and the whole room laughed, and how I walk into a room now. I get into pace, standards, having a signature, why I don't make myself smaller anymore, how I got comfortable being seen, and the one thing on this list that changed everything else.

    Why I Quit Under-Eye Filler (And What I Do at 49 Instead)

    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.

The serum I built when I turned 40 and refused to disappear. Use code MYSELF for 15% off. This one is for every woman staring at her under-eyes in bad bathroom lighting, wondering when she started looking so tired, and this close to booking filler to fix it. I'm a skincare founder and a certified clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a face, most of it by testing everything on my own. First I get into why under-eye aging is really five completely different problems, how to tell which one is actually yours, and why putting filler in the wrong one can make you look worse, sometimes years after the injection. I tell the whole story of my own under-eye filler, the round I couldn't even see and the round I genuinely loved, and why I still choose not to do it again. Then I walk through exactly what I do instead now, from the daily skin baseline to the treatments I actually booked for hollowing, crepey skin, fine lines, and jelly rolls, plus the one thing that is truly a different conversation with a surgeon. I get into the newer stuff I'm watching, the one I stay away from, and the single question to answer before you let anyone near your face with a needle.

    If I Were 40 Again, These Are the Exact 10 Things I’d Do to Look Hot AF

    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. Get the 10 Steps to Look & Feel Hot AF After 40!

The serum I built when I turned 40 and refused to disappear. Get your bottle. Use code MYSELF for 15% off. This one is for every woman standing in the middle of the serums, the hormones, the devices, and the anti-aging treatments after 40 with no idea where to start. I'm a skincare founder and a clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million and a decade figuring out what actually works on a face, and what order to do it in, so beauty over 40 stops feeling like a guessing game. First, the one thing I'd fix before I'd spend another dollar on my face (and no, it's not skincare). Then the unsexy stuff that runs everything after 40, including the daily habit that does more for your skin than your next cream, and why one simple routine beats a bathroom full of 147 products. Then the part they leave out of the ads. Why the treatment everyone reaches for first is not where I'd start, how I stopped shrinking myself to be taken seriously, and the last one, the reason 40 was never the beginning of the end. Because this was never about becoming 20 again. It's the part where you finally have the money, the standards, and the nerve to build a face and a life that look like you.

    I Tested Every At-Home Skin-Tightening Device. Here Are the 3 I'd Buy Again.

    If you've got your eye on all these at-home skin-tightening devices promising to lift and snatch your face, but you have no idea which ones actually work, I tested pretty much every one so you don't have to. I'm 49, I've never had a facelift, and I've spent tens of thousands of dollars figuring out which at-home devices are worth the money, which are a total waste, and the $6,000 one I'd never buy again.  Get the free At-Home Device Cheat Sheet. Which device fixes what, how to use each, and the 3 questions to ask before you spend a dollar.  Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan? Take the quiz. Join The Vanity Club.

Devices I Use & Love: NuFACE Trinity (microcurrent) ZIIP (microcurrent, jowls + custom routines) Dermalux Flex MD (red light panel) Omnilux men's mask (red light, deeper wavelength) CurrentBody Skin RF (radiofrequency)NIRA Pro laser (face, neck, larger areas)NIRA Precision laser (eyes + lips)(My discount codes for these are inside The Vanity Club.)  This one is for every woman who keeps getting told to just age gracefully and accept it. I'm a skincare founder and a certified clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a face, including a vanity full of at-home devices I bought so you don't have to. First, I get into the one mistake that makes women waste the most money, which is shopping for a device before you know what you're actually trying to fix, and why the device that improves your skin is not the one that lifts your face. Then I walk you through every category I've tested- microcurrent, red light, radiofrequency, at-home lasers, and microneedling, and I tell you exactly which bucket each one lands in and what it's actually worth using for. Then I get to the part you came for. The $6,000 device I'd skip in a heartbeat, the one I'd never use on my own face, the melasma warning nobody gave me before I started, and if you took every device I own tonight, the only three I'd buy again tomorrow.
