| I Bet Every Last Cent I Had. ($100M Later) | 17 Feb 2026 | 00:23:28 | |
"Be realistic." That's the advice that almost kept me poor forever. I was living in a rent-by-the-day hotel in Los Angeles with strangers pounding on my door. I was sick, isolated, and completely broke. Logic said go home to Appalachia. Logic said save every penny. Instead, I put thousands of dollars on three maxed-out credit cards for a certification I couldn't afford. It was the most reckless decision I ever made. It was also the best. In this episode of I'd Like to Thank MySELF, I'm going back to the beginning. Moving to LA with $7,000. The health crisis that wiped me out. Losing every friend I had. And the moment I decided to bet on myself with money I didn't have, for a future I couldn't prove. This isn't a masterclass. It's the real story of what it looks like to start a business with no money, no support system, and no evidence it's going to work. Just a feeling in your gut that says: this is the move. I talk about why "playing it safe" is actually the most dangerous financial decision you can make. Why staying in a job you hate or a life that's too small is its own kind of bet. Why your 40s might be the best time to reinvent everything. And how growing up on food stamps in Appalachia taught me that "being realistic" is the enemy of building something real. That three-credit-card bet? It became the foundation for the Institute of Transformational Nutrition, tens of thousands of certified coaches worldwide, and multiple businesses generating over $100 million. From nothing. From a girl who bathed in a creek and didn't have a bathroom growing up. If you're a woman over 40 sitting on a decision right now and the math doesn't make sense but your gut won't shut up about it... this one's for you! Chapters

The serum I built when I refused to disappear at 40: https://rewrittenbeauty.com 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:

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

| I Built $100M. Why Doing It Again at 48 Is Harder. | 27 Jan 2026 | 00:20:40 | |
FREE Guide – Download The 3 Questions I Ask Before Making Big Decisions (So I Don’t F It Up) here: https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/episode02-3questions I'm 48. I'm building a new company. And last week I stood in my kitchen wondering if this was even a good idea. It turns out, building a business at 48 is nothing like building one at 28. We're told that experience makes things easier. But experience doesn't account for perimenopause, raising a teenager, caring for aging parents, and the paralyzing fear of "what if I can't do it again?" In 7th grade, my teacher asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said a secretary. That was the biggest dream I could see from where I was standing — bathing in a creek, wearing clothes from the donation bin, watching my mom stretch food stamps like they were made of rubber. 36 years later, I've built multiple businesses to over $100M. And now I'm starting over. Again. In an industry I've never been in. With a brain that leaves the building by 2pm and a phone that somehow ends up in the fridge. If you're a woman over 40 reinventing herself — part of the sandwich generation balancing entrepreneurship, motherhood, and aging parents — this one's for you. I'm sharing the brutal truth about the difference between the desperate hunger of my 20s and the complex reality of my 40s. In this video, we talk about:

| I Built $100M From Nothing Then Walked Away. Now I’m Starting Over at 48. | 20 Jan 2026 | 00:30:39 | |
I grew up on food stamps in the Appalachian Mountains with no running water in our house until I was fifteen years old. I took baths in the creek down the road, used an actual outhouse, and dumpster dived for skincare and makeup because somewhere in my thirteen-year-old brain I decided that being pretty would save me from poverty. And then I built over $100M in businesses. My face ended up on a billboard in Times Square. I was on Dr. Phil - not as a guest with a problem, but as the expert. Newsweek put my book on the cover. I was living the dream that little girl in Appalachia couldn’t have even imagined. And at my absolute peak, when everyone thought I had finally made it, I disappeared on purpose. I took time for self reflection and self awareness. This motivational video is the first episode of I’d Like to Thank MySELF, and it’s the story I’ve never told publicly. I’m sharing why I walked away when everything was working, what almost broke me — twice — and why I’m back now, starting a completely new company at 48 years old in an industry where I have zero experience. It's the ultimate exercise in personal growth and self improvement. In this episode, you’ll learn:
If you’ve ever felt like you’re running out of time, like maybe your window has closed, like the cost of success is too high and you’re not sure it’s worth it anymore... I made this episode for you. Pour yourself a drink.

The serum I built when I refused to disappear at 40: https://rewrittenbeauty.com Twenty years ago I lied straight to a woman’s face in a penthouse in Los Angeles. That lie built my businesses to over $100M. I quadrupled my price on the spot, made up a job title, and created a category of one before I knew that's what it was called. Here’s the scene… I was a broke nutritionist in Los Angeles competing against people with better credentials, more experience, and actual offices. Then one referral put me in a room I had no business being in, and I made something up on the spot that changed the entire trajectory of my career. That moment turned into a pattern I didn't recognize for twenty years. I repeated it six times across six different businesses, and every single time the result was the same: no competition, no comparison, and people lining up before I even had a sales page. In this episode, you'll discover:
If you're a woman entrepreneur who's been underpricing herself, competing in a crowded market, or waiting for one more credential before she bets on herself, this is the one.

I dumpster-dived for makeup because I didn't know what skincare was, I just thought the cream made me prettier. I was teased mercilessly, bullied constantly, and told myself on my 8th birthday that I wasn't special and didn't deserve anything. I spent my twenties self-destructing and my thirties finally becoming the woman I'd spent my entire life fighting to be. And then at 40, women started telling me it was all downhill from here. So I built a skincare company called Rewritten. And I sat down with a glass of champagne to tell you about it.

| I'm 48 And Aging Gracefully Is BS | 05 May 2026 | 00:24:41 | |
I'm 48 and I'm done aging gracefully. I think the whole concept is just a nice way of telling women to disappear, and I'm done pretending we're aging well by being told to fade. The most honest conversation about anti-aging and what it means to stay hot AF after 40. At seven years old, on a two-lane road in Appalachia, I watched a group of women laugh at a stranger in red lipstick because she didn't know she was supposed to “age gracefully." I'm 48 now, and I've spent 40 years wondering why nobody on that dirt road said something. Why nobody is the spokesperson for women who refuse to fade. So I'm doing it now. This episode is for the woman in the back who's been clapping politely for a decade while everyone around her disappeared quietly.

| 10 Ways I Use Peptides To Stay Hot AF At 48 | 19 May 2026 | 00:26:11 | |
I'm 48. I've been on peptides for over a decade. Here's what I'm actually on at 48, what each one does, and why I'm on it. From topical peptides injectables, I’m sharing what I use for my skin, body, mental clarity, focus, energy, strength building and more!
If you want to go deeper on dosing, what's working for me, what's working for other women, the providers we use, and the tips and tricks we've picked up along the way, all that conversation lives inside The Vanity Club.
A Word Before You Click This is what I do. Not what you should do. I'm sharing my own experience as a 48-year-old woman who's been on peptides for over a decade, working with a doctor, getting labs, and taking the smallest doses that work for me. I am not a doctor, and nothing in this episode or these show notes is medical advice. Peptides are not FDA-approved for anti-aging use. Before you take anything, talk to a qualified medical provider who'll actually look at your labs and co-create a protocol with you. If you click through to either provider link above, you are making your own decision about what to do with your body. You are agreeing that I am not liable for any outcome, side effect, or interaction that comes from a product you purchase from them. Figure out what's right for your body with a doctor. The choice, as always, is yours. Stay Subscribed… Part 2 is Coming Five more peptides, more reasons I use them, and the ones I'm about to start. Subscribe on YouTube so you don't miss it.

| 5 Anti-Aging Peptides I’m On To Look Better At 48 Than At 38 | 26 May 2026 | 00:28:05 | |
I'm 48 and on five peptides right now to look better than I did at 38. Here's exactly what they are, why I'm on them, and the one that's going to get me yelled at in the comments. This week's episode is part two of the peptide conversation that broke my comments section last week. Five MORE peptides, each one targeting a different anti-aging lever: sleep, glow, hair, the one that literally tells your body to stop aging itself, and the one that's redefining what midlife metabolism looks like. I'm a skincare founder. I've spent $1.3 million of my own money testing what works on my own face. I'm a Certified Clinical Nutritionist. And I've been on peptides for over a decade. So if you've ever wondered what peptides actually are, why everyone's losing their fucking minds over them, and which ones to be on — this is your episode. In this episode I'm telling you:
This is for the women who said fuck no to aging gracefully — and for the men who came here to be hot as fuck too. Shout out to all my Adams.

Perimenopause is what nobody warned you about. Here are the 10 things I wish someone had told me — including the peptide your doctor probably won't mention. Want the labs I run, the doses I take, and the doctors I trust? That conversation lives in The Vanity Club. Perimenopause hit me and my doctor told me my levels were "fine" for five years. They weren't. This episode is everything I wish I'd known before I started hormones two years ago — the five I take every day, the practices that keep them working, and the one peptide your doctor won't bring up unless you push. Plus the truth nobody tells you: hormones aren't a magic pill. They only work if you use them right. In this episode I'm telling you:
This one's for every woman who's been told her hormones are "fine for her age" and knew goddamn well they weren't.

| I Got My Boobs Done 4 Times. Here's What I Wish I'd Known | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:25:13 | |
