The truth about topical peptides at 48, from a skincare founder who spent a fortune testing every one of them. These are the three peptide serums actually worth putting on your face, the two that are a total waste of your money, and the one anti-aging ingredient that beats every single one of them... and it isn't even a peptide.

The Topical Peptides I Use:
This one is for every woman getting handed another peptide serum with no clue which ones actually do anything. 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.

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.
