Podcast Overview

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.

10 Things I Did To Stay Hot AF At 48 That Backfired

<p>I spent over a million dollars and years of my life doing everything I was told would keep me hot, and a shocking amount of it was aging me faster. These are the 10 anti-aging mistakes I made at 48 so you don't have to, from the skincare and treatments that backfired on my face to the workouts and shots that were working against my body.</p><p>I'm a clinical nutritionist and the founder of a skincare line, and I've made most of these mistakes myself with total confidence and a platinum card. Inside this one I get into the melasma trap nobody warns you about (and why your red light mask and hot devices can make those dark spots worse), how to actually use a retinoid like tretinoin or retinol without peeling like a snake, why doing more skincare wrecked my barrier, the $13,000 microneedling and Morpheus8 RF lesson that cost me volume in my own face, why no protein and vitamin C means no new collagen after a laser or Sculptra, the real story on cortisol and belly fat in perimenopause, why strength training over 40 made me smaller not bigger, how to keep your muscle on a GLP-1 like tirzepatide or retatrutide, and the last mistake that affects all the others.</p><p>If you're a woman over 40 doing all the "right" things for your skin and body and getting nowhere, and you're tired of being told you're fine, this one is for you.</p><p>If you liked this, watch <a href="https://youtu.be/uvZ4_Yg3GIM"><strong>The Work I've Had Done To Stay Hot AF At 48 And The One I Regret</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan?</strong> <a href="https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/quiz"><strong>Take the quiz.</strong></a><strong></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/vanityep21"><strong>Join The Vanity Club</strong></a><strong>.</strong> Where women over 40 come to look hot AF.

I Got My Boobs Done 4 Times. Here's What I Wish I'd Known

<p>I've had four boob jobs in 27 years, two rounds of capsular contracture, a $30,000 lesson, and a little pig holding one of them together. And I'd do it all again.</p><p>Four breast augmentations. Two rounds of capsular contracture, the complication they make sound rarer than it is. A thirty-thousand-dollar mistake I made because I thought I knew better than my surgeon, a boob job recovery nobody prepares you for, and an honest, no-shame conversation about breast implant illness (BII). </p><p>This is everything I wish someone had told me before my first breast implants: the receipts, the regrets I don't have, and what I'd actually do if I were you, from booking a breast augmentation to deciding whether to take your implants out.<br></p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><ul><li>Why I got my first set almost 30 years ago, and what the itty bitty titty committee had to do with it</li><li>The capsular contracture that hit me twice, on the lowest-risk setup there is</li><li>The $30,000 lesson, and the pig that finally fixed it</li><li>How I picked my plastic surgeon, and the five consults that saved my result</li><li>The truth about cup size nobody tells you before you book</li><li>The boob job recovery reality the glossy before-and-afters leave out</li><li>Where I land on breast implant illness and breast implant removal, without the fear-mongering or the dismissing</li><li>The one time my gut said no, and six months later the FDA agreed</li><li>If you've got breast implants, you're researching a breast augmentation, or you've got a set and you're weighing breast implant removal, this one's for you.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you liked this, watch <a href="https://youtu.be/uvZ4_Yg3GIM"><strong>The Work I've Had Done To Stay Hot AF At 48 And The One I Regret</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan?</strong> <a href="https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/quiz"><strong>Take the quiz.</strong></a><strong></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/vanityep21"><strong>Join The Vanity Club</strong></a><strong>.</strong> Where women over 40 come to look hot AF.

Body Skincare At 48: 10 Things I Do To Look And Feel Great Naked

<p>I'm 48, and looking great naked has almost nothing to do with a flat stomach. It's skin you're not hiding, a body that feels like yours, and the confidence to stand in the light and not flinch.</p><p><strong>Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan?</strong> <a href="https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/quiz"><strong>Take the quiz. </strong></a><strong><br></strong><a href="https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/vanityep21"><strong>Join The Vanity Club</strong></a><strong>.</strong> Where women over 40 come to look hot AF.

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.
