Twenty years ago I lied straight to a woman’s face in a penthouse in Los Angeles. That lie built my businesses to over $100M.
I quadrupled my price on the spot, made up a job title, and created a category of one before I knew that's what it was called.
Here’s the scene… I was a broke nutritionist in Los Angeles competing against people with better credentials, more experience, and actual offices.
Then one referral put me in a room I had no business being in, and I made something up on the spot that changed the entire trajectory of my career. That moment turned into a pattern I didn't recognize for twenty years.
I repeated it six times across six different businesses, and every single time the result was the same: no competition, no comparison, and people lining up before I even had a sales page.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- The exact lie I told a woman in a penthouse on Wilshire (and why it turned out to be the truest thing I'd ever said)
- What I was doing at every Starbucks in LA that no entrepreneur will admit to
- The made-up job title that accidentally became a business model worth millions
- Why the woman's friends never once asked how much I charged (and what they asked instead)
- How I went from a sold-out fitness brand to walking away at my absolute peak
- The $250K I made in one hour with no sales page, no funnel, and no plan
- The one business I hid for years because I was scared people wouldn't take me seriously anymore
- The pattern behind all six businesses that I didn't see until I said it out loud in this episode
If you're a woman entrepreneur who's been underpricing herself, competing in a crowded market, or waiting for one more credential before she bets on herself, this is the one.

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.
