| My Entire Day of Eating + Supplements at 49: NAD/NMN, Methylene Blue + More | 03 Nov 2026 | 00:25:47 | |
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.

Things I Mentioned:
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. | 27 Oct 2026 | 00:19:23 | |
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.

| The Hormones That Keep Me Hot at 49 (And The Peptide I Take Every Morning) | 20 Oct 2026 | 00:42:33 | |
I'm 49, I'm perimenopausal, and these are the hormones I use every single day to stay hot as fuck 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?

Use code MYSELF for 15% off. Things I Mentioned:
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 | 13 Oct 2026 | 00:24:31 | |
This is my entire beauty maintenance calendar at 49, every single thing I do to stay hot as fuck, from what happens every morning and night to the stuff I only do a few times a year. What I do, in what order, how often, and what I skip when I just cannot be bothered.
This one is for every woman who has looked at a woman like me and wondered how the fuck she fits it all in. 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. First I walk you through my mornings and my nights, including the two devices I use to lightly electrocute myself every single day, why I lift weights by candlelight, and what I wear to bed for the creasing on my chest. 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. | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:26:59 | |
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) | 29 Sep 2026 | 00:21:48 | |
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:

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 | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:25:29 | |
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. 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. Get your bottle. Use code MYSELF for 15% off.
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. | 15 Sep 2026 | 00:24:42 | |
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.

(My discount codes for these are inside The Vanity Club.)
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.

| I Spent 2 Years Trying to Regrow My Hair Only 4 Things Mattered | 08 Sep 2026 | 00:34:21 | |
My hair started thinning after 40, and I spent almost two years and an embarrassing amount of money trying to grow it back.

First, I get into why your hair is really thinning after 40, because hair loss is not one problem with one fix, plus the one question that saves you the most money before you buy a single thing. Then I walk through everything I actually tried, from the topical that made me shed even more before it worked, to PRP, microneedling, red light, ketoconazole, rosemary oil, and the supplements that earn their spot versus the ones that are a scam. I get honest about biotin, the shed that actually means it is working, what a good hair-growth serum needs on the label, and the one gadget I have zero proof does anything and refuse to stop using. And I close on the part most women will not say out loud, why losing your hair after 40 hits so much deeper than just hair, and why you are allowed to fight to get it back.

| The 5 Things I Do For My Jowls At 48 (And The One I Regret) | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:21:33 | |
If you've ever pushed your jowls back up with two fingers, chasing the jawline you had at 35, this is the episode that finally explains why it's happening and what actually fixes it. I'm 49, i've never had a facelift, and I've spent $1.3 million on my face figuring out what works on jowls, what's a total waste of money, and the treatment I paid thousands for that made mine worse.

Things I Mentioned: This one is for every woman who looks in the mirror lately and doesn't recognize the bottom half of her face. I'm a skincare founder and a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million and years of my life testing what actually holds a jaw up after 40, so you don't have to learn it the expensive way like I did. First I get into why jowls even happen, and it is not what you think. It is not just loose skin, it is your fat pads sliding, your collagen thinning, and the part I found out the hard way, your actual face bones shrinking. Then I walk through everything I do, in order from the cheapest thing to a facelift. The two free things you can start today, the microcurrent I do at home, the Sculptra reveal that even injectors get wrong, exactly where I put filler and where I would never, and the little Botox trick that lifts a jaw instead of just smoothing it. Then I tell you the truth about the stuff that gets all the hype and does nothing for a jowl, the treatment I regret paying thousands for, the one I am about to try next, and where I would spend my own money if I had to pick just one. Grab a drink. We have got shit to talk about.

| The Lies I Burned On My 49th Birthday (Literally) | 25 Aug 2026 | 00:19:46 | |
It's my 49th birthday, and instead of dreading getting older the way we're all trained to, I'm doing the one ritual that changed how I feel about aging for good. If your birthday has started to feel like a countdown, if you're seeing fine lines and wrinkles that feel like they showed up overnight, like your face fell off a cliff while you were sleeping, if you feel yourself going invisible after 40 and you've laid awake at 3am doing the math on everything you think you've lost... this one is for you. For the first time on camera, I'm taking the five biggest lies we all get handed about getting older, and I'm burning every single one of them. Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan? Take the quiz.

Use code MYSELF for 15% off. This one is for every woman who's been told it's all downhill after 40. I'm a skincare founder and a certified clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works, on my face and everywhere else. First I get into what hot af at any age actually means, because it was never just the outside, and I tell you the story of the worst birthday of my life, the one where I decided I wasn't special and didn't deserve anything. I take you through the morning I turned 40, the birthday texts from people I knew telling me to enjoy being invisible, and exactly what I built out of that instead. Then I walk you through the five lies about getting older that I believed for way too long, from "aging gracefully" to "aging is a privilege" to the biggest one my own family taught me, and I set all five on fire. I close with the thing I do every single birthday, and an open invitation to do it right along with me, whether it's your birthday today or just the day you decide to start over.

| I've Been Taking Testosterone For 2 Years. Here's What I Wish I'd Known | 18 Aug 2026 | 00:29:08 | |
Testosterone for women over 40 is the conversation almost no doctor will start with you, so I'm starting it. These are the ten things I wish I'd known about testosterone before I ever asked a doctor for it, from the magic number every doctor chases that doesn't exist, to the one test almost all of them run wrong, to the exact words to say at your appointment so nobody laughs you out of the office again.

I'm a skincare founder and a clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a woman's body over 40, hormones included. First I get into what testosterone actually did for me, which I found out the hard way when I accidentally ran out for two weeks, why you are not too young to be having this conversation, and why so many women get told their labs are "normal" while they feel nothing like themselves. Then I walk through the form they don't warn you about, the doctor who told my friend to just be grateful her husband still finds her attractive, why it's rarely just testosterone, and the exact playbook I'd use to walk into an appointment and not get dismissed.

The truth about topical peptides at 48, from a skincare founder who spent a fortune testing every one of them.

I'm a skincare founder and a clinical nutritionist, and I've spent one point three million dollars figuring out what actually works on a face after 40. First I get into the copper peptide I will never take off my face, the vitamin C mistake that cancels it out every single morning, and the only peptide in my whole routine with a real, placebo-controlled study behind it. Then I break down the upgraded versions worth keeping, the two “Botox in a bottle” peptides that are a complete fantasy, the ten-second trick for telling whether your fancy serum even has peptides in it, and the one ingredient that beats every peptide I own, with thirty years of studies behind it.

| 5 Ways Menopause Wrecked My Skin At 48. And Exactly How I Fixed Every One. | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:24:33 | |
I'm 48, and somewhere in my forties during perimenopause my skin changed on me. Everyone said it was just aging, so I believed them for way too long and kept buying creams that did nothing. Then I went digging and found five different things actually aging my skin in menopause, all set off by one thing... my estrogen dropping. These are all five, and exactly what I did to fix each one, from the cells you cannot scrub off to the one bottle I built to handle all of it. Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan? Take the quiz.

This one is for every woman who keeps getting told her only options are expensive procedures or aging gracefully. I'm a skincare founder and a clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a face. First I get into what's actually changing under your skin, the senescent 'zombie cells' you cannot scrub off, the stress hormone that flips your collagen switch to off, and the dark spots that feel like they showed up overnight but really took thirty years. Then I walk through the fixes, the gentle form of vitamin C that won't burn thinning skin, how to actually rebuild a barrier that's started stinging instead of just painting over it, the hyaluronic acid most people forget about, and the one bottle I built to go at all five at once.

| 10 Things I Do At Home To Hold Off A Facelift At 48 | 28 Jul 2026 | 00:32:42 | |
I'm 48 and I have not had a facelift. Everyone in my comments is convinced I have. I haven't. A few weeks ago I showed you everything I do in an office to hold one off, and these are the 10 things I do at home... the skincare order, the devices, and the one hormone I put on my own face that holds off a facelift with no provider and no appointment.

I'm a skincare founder and a clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a face. First I show you the exact order everything goes on, and why the order matters more than the products. I get into the cells that are actually aging your face and why you cannot scrub them off, the retinoid ladder that explains why so many of you quit tretinoin, and the dermaplaning that surprised me more than anything else at home. Then I walk through the three at-home devices that earned their spot, the microcurrent setting almost everyone gets wrong, the red light mask I never skip, and the laser that lives on my bathroom counter. And then the foundation underneath all of it, including the hormone I put on my own face that starts a fight in the comments every single time.

| 10 Things That Got Rid Of My Menopause Belly At 48 | 21 Jul 2026 | 00:26:31 | |
I spent twenty years teaching women how to lose weight, wrote a best-selling book on it, and then in my forties a menopause belly showed up that I could not get rid of no matter what I did. These are the 10 things that finally got rid of my menopause belly at 48... the hormones, the muscle, and everything else that actually moved it after eating less and working out stopped working. If you liked this, watch 10 Things My Doctor Never Told Me About Testosterone At 48 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. Get your bottle. I'm a clinical nutritionist and a skincare founder. I built my whole career on weight loss. So when the menopause belly showed up and wouldn't budge, it broke my brain a little. First I explain why this belly is different. Menopause belly fat is a completely different kind of fat than the soft stuff you had in your thirties. When your estrogen drops, your body starts storing fat around your middle. That's why eating less and working out stops working the way it used to. Then I walk through everything that actually moved it. HRT was my foundation, and nothing else worked until I handled it. Building muscle over 40 is the real secret, and I explain what can cost you the muscle you need if you're not careful. I cover how much protein I actually eat, the cortisol and sleep piece, and the creatine I wish I'd started years ago. I also show you how I track it all with DEXA scans and bloodwork. Then I tell you the one thing on this whole list that works against my belly, and why I do it anyway. And I tell you about a woman named Betty, who taught me exactly why I bother with any of this.

| 10 Things I Do To Look 10 Years Younger Without A Facelift | 14 Jul 2026 | 00:29:32 | |
I'm 48, I get asked if I've had a facelift about twice a week, and I haven't. But I am planning one, and everything I do in the meantime is how I look ten years younger without going under the knife. This is my full non surgical facelift arsenal at 48: the biostimulators like Sculptra that build your own collagen back, CO2 laser resurfacing, Botox, filler, the Nefertiti neck lift, PicoSure for sun damage, and the one under-eye filler mistake I will never make again. If you liked this, watch 10 Things My Doctor Never Told Me About Testosterone At 48 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. Get your bottle.
Inside, I break down the exact ten things I do to look ten years younger without surgery. I get into how Sculptra rebuilds your own collagen and why CO2 laser resurfacing is the heavy hitter, including how long you're really down after it. There's the difference between a Botox lift and a Nefertiti neck lift, and the filler rule that separates natural from overdone. I also call out the laser everybody raves about that will not turn back the clock, and the skin-tone safety you need to hear before you book. And I close on the single most important anti-aging thing I do that isn't a laser or a needle at all. In this episode:

| 10 Things My Doctor Never Told Me About Testosterone At 48 | 30 Jun 2026 | 00:22:58 | |
Testosterone is the most abundant active sex hormone in a woman's body, and almost nobody tells you what low testosterone does to women in perimenopause and menopause. When I asked my doctor about testosterone for women, he laughed in my face and told me to lift weights. Like I'd asked for a pony instead of a hormone. I lost two years to that laugh. Then I found a doctor who didn't laugh, and the right testosterone protocol gave me back my sleep, my sex drive, my energy, and my face. In this one I get into the 10 things he never told me: the hormone you have more of than estrogen, why low testosterone gets missed when your labs read "normal," whether testosterone really gives women a beard or bulky muscles, what it does to your libido and your mood, what it did to my skin and the collagen menopause stole, what the first night actually felt like, and how to find a doctor who won't laugh you out of the room when you ask about testosterone or hormone replacement therapy. If you're a woman over 40 navigating perimenopause or menopause, if your labs came back "normal" but you feel like a stranger in your own body, if you've ever been brushed off when you asked about testosterone, HRT, or your disappearing libido, this one's for you.

| I Got My Boobs Done 4 Times. Here's What I Wish I'd Known | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:25:13 | |
I've had four boob jobs in 27 years, two rounds of capsular contracture, a $30,000 lesson, and a little pig holding one of them together. And I'd do it all again. Four breast augmentations. Two rounds of capsular contracture, the complication they make sound rarer than it is. A thirty-thousand-dollar mistake I made because I thought I knew better than my surgeon, a boob job recovery nobody prepares you for, and an honest, no-shame conversation about breast implant illness (BII). This is everything I wish someone had told me before my first breast implants: the receipts, the regrets I don't have, and what I'd actually do if I were you, from booking a breast augmentation to deciding whether to take your implants out.

| 10 Things I Wish I Knew About Perimenopause To Stay Hot At 48 | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:33:36 | |
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.

| 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.

| I’m Microdosing a GLP-1 to Stay Hot AF at 48 | 12 May 2026 | 00:19:32 | |
I'm microdosing a GLP-1 to stay hot AF at 48. Not for weight loss... for what it's doing to my face, which now looks better at 48 than it did at 38. Here's the conversation about GLP-1s nobody is actually having. Most women on GLP-1s end up with Ozempic face. The 3-step Collagen Defense system I built BEFORE I ever started microdosing tirzepatide is the reason I'm not one of them. Today I'm walking you through the actual science, why I picked the smallest possible dose every other week, the full protocol, and the part the doctors won't say out loud.

| 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.

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.
This one's for you if you've ever blown out birthday candles and felt your stomach drop instead of making a wish. If you've ever wondered whether your best years are behind you. And if you've ever put on your bad bitch heels and decided... not today.

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.

| 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

| 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.

| 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. You’re probably gonna need it. #idliketothankmyself #selfmade #womenentrepreneurs #startingover #entrepreneurship #rewriteyourstory #womeninbusiness #over40 #cynthiagarcia #rewrittenbeauty #motivationalvideo #personalgrowth #selfimprovement EPISODE CHAPTERS: About Cynthia Garcia Now she’s the founder of Rewritten Beauty (https://www.rewrittenbeauty.com/)™, the world’s first Identity-Based Beauty™ brand.
