I'd Like To Thank Myself

Five years of perimenopause symptoms and three doctors telling me my hormones were "in range" while my body was falling apart.

This is the story I've never told -- and the night a friend handed me two things that changed everything.

I had every reason to know something was wrong. I'm a Certified Clinical Nutritionist. I founded an accredited school that trains health professionals. And I still sat in a doctor's office and let him tell me my hormones were fine. For five years. The weight gain, the night sweats, the brain fog, the rage -- I thought I was losing my mind. 

Then one night, sobbing on a lake in Austin, a friend looked at me and said, "I've got you." This is that story.

In this episode, you'll discover:
  • The two things a friend handed me at midnight that made me sleep better than I had in years
  • Why "your hormones are in range" is the most dangerous sentence a woman over 40 can hear
  • The night sweats, the brain fog, the rage -- what perimenopause actually looks like vs. what the brochure says
  • The skincare products that were secretly interfering with my hormones while I was paying doctors to figure out what was wrong
  • Why one estrogen patch and one progesterone tablet changed everything in a single night
  • Why I almost committed a small, tasteful crime every time my husband exhaled
  • The two voices every woman has -- and which one is lying to you
  • What it really costs to be told "you're fine" for 5 years (it's not money)
If you're a woman over 40 who has sat in a doctor's office, been told everything is "normal," walked out still feeling like something is off, and wondered if you're losing your mind -- this episode is for you. You're not crazy. You're not dramatic. And you're not alone.

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.
