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":"2026-07-22T04:17:56.264217+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-d-like-to-thank-myself-7665047"},"episode":{"title":"The Hidden Cost Of Staying Hot Over 40","slug":"the-hidden-cost-of-staying-hot-over-40","published_at":"2026-02-03T17:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-d-like-to-thank-myself-7665047/the-hidden-cost-of-staying-hot-over-40","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-d-like-to-thank-myself-7665047","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/f7f29ac3","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/f7f29ac3/f8da0a7f.mp3","summary":"Take the free Hot AF quiz: https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/quiz Join The Vanity Club.

The serum I built when I refused to disappear at 40: https://rewrittenbeauty.com You’re not crazy for wanting to be wildly successful and hot over 40. You’re also not crazy for noticing that… it’s getting harder. In this episode of I’d Like to Thank MySELF , I’m sharing the real story behind what it actually takes to stay hot at 48 while building a $100M brand, raising a daughter, and refusing to fade into the background just because society says it’s “your turn” to disappear. We’ll talk about: The hallway moment that made me “vain” forever—and why I’m not apologizing for it Why I’m proudly anti‑aging but pro getting older (there’s a difference) The brutal reality of perimenopause, hormones, brain fog, and 3am anxiety The real cost: the money, time, and emotional energy it takes to look and feel incredible over 40 The judgment women get either way—whether we “let ourselves go” or dare to stay hot Why choosing vanity can be a power move when you’re building a category‑of‑one life and business This isn’t a tutorial. It’s a transmission. I’m pulling back the curtain on what I actually do, pay, and sacrifice to feel confident in my skin while I build a living brand—and why I believe you’re allowed to want beauty, money, impact, and peace all at once. If you’re a woman over 40 who Is successful but still feels overlooked or invisible Wants her outside to finally match the power she knows she has inside Is done pretending she “doesn’t care how she looks” Is ready to become undeniable in her industry and in her own life …this episode is for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more raw, unfiltered episodes of I…","meta_description":"Take the free Hot AF quiz: https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/quiz Join The Vanity Club.
