The serum I built when I refused to disappear at 40: https://rewrittenbeauty.com\nI grew up bathing in a creek in Appalachia with no running water. 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. \nI 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. \nSo I built a skincare company called Rewritten. And I sat down with a glass of champagne to tell you about it.\nIn this episode:The birthday text that said \"enjoy being invisible\" and the response that broke something in meWhat happened on my 8th birthday that I carried for 40 yearsThe real reason I dumpster-dived for makeup as a kid in AppalachiaWhy I had a full midlife crisis at 30 in a boujee Palm Springs spaThe MIT study that proves women over 50 build better businesses (and why nobody told us)What happened when I spent $10,000 on my face and saw a new line the next morningThe moment I realized I'm fighting a battle I'll always lose... and why I'm never stoppingWhat my daughter Rain is learning by watching me choose this every dayThis one's for you if you've ever blown out birthday candles and felt your stomach drop instead of making a wish.
