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.

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.

What is 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.
