I spent close to 40 years trying to prove my worth to people who were never going to see it anyway. This week, I finally quit. But the reason I quit isn't what you think. It started at a party in the Hollywood Hills and ended with a question on a Zoom call that I couldn't stop thinking about.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- What Larry King said to me at a Hollywood Hills party that made me want to commit a small, tasteful crime
- The pattern I didn't see playing out for my entire adult life (and why it was never once a woman)
- The one question my massage therapist asked that I still can't answer · What happened when someone unmuted on a Zoom call to ask about my lipstick while I was teaching business strategy
- Why perimenopause made me put my phone in the fridge and my entire career into perspective
- The moment I realized the thing I was most offended by for 20 years was actually the answer
- What I'm doing now instead of teaching business and why I've never been more sure of anything
If you're a woman over 40 who's exhausted from proving yourself and wondering whether the thing you keep resisting is actually the thing... this one's for you.

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.
