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.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-09T04:17:21.151661+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-d-like-to-thank-myself-7665047"},"episode":{"title":"I Spent 2 Years Trying to Regrow My Hair Only 4 Things Mattered","slug":"i-spent-2-years-trying-to-regrow-my-hair-only-4-things-mattered","published_at":"2026-09-08T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-d-like-to-thank-myself-7665047/i-spent-2-years-trying-to-regrow-my-hair-only-4-things-mattered","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-d-like-to-thank-myself-7665047","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/92b4807c","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/92b4807c/093df7fa.mp3","summary":"My hair started thinning after 40, and I spent almost two years and an embarrassing amount of money trying to grow it back.
