Living with PCOS means cancelling a meeting because of a terrible breakout but then feeling guilty about it in turn increasing your cortisol levels and breaking out even more

There’s a pattern I’ve noticed in a certain archetype of women that I find quite bizarre
For context, in the last year I’ve had much older women reach out because they “see” a younger version of themselves in me & “recognise” some talent I have, in hopes of “mentoring” me
Don’t get me wrong, I have many wonderful older women in my life who I look up to, but the ones I’m speaking about are all eerily similar: they are in their late 30s or early 40s, never found a fulfilling career, aren’t married/don’t have kids (or are married but aren’t happy) & crave a good bit of external validation
All I can say is that these women give advice that isn’t directionally positive for a life well lived
& whether it’s conscious or unconscious, I don’t know, but part of me suspects they want younger women to repeat the same patterns of unhappiness they’ve experienced themselves
I just spent the weekend at a wellness conference & the entire time I was like, what the actual fuck? When did the health industry become full of dollar store car salesmen?
I mean the “wellness” industry is trending toward $9TN market cap but it’s full of supplement shillers, infrared toilets, libido sprays, & athleisure made of “magic minerals” that supposedly transcend you to another plane of reality
As the founder of a media company primarily covering health, I spend a lot of time with the crème de la crème across biotech, digital health, longevity + consumer health
And from my purview, the future is SO unbelievably bright. We’re solving complex diseases, tackling age-related decline, developing alternatives to fillers & Botox, extending the lives of our pets, & MUCH more
But the people flooding in just to make a quick buck give the whole industry such a bad rep
I feel bad for the girls getting Botox and filler because they have no idea that longevity startups are about to drop some of the most insane treatments to reverse skin ageing in less than a year
I absolutely REFUSE to touch my face until then
need an agent that checks prices across uber, Lyft, empower, curb etc. and books the car with the best price to time ratio

A beautiful life requires an appetite for both pleasure and pain. To indulge in good food, beautiful things, play, whimsy. To pursue love so ferociously, knowing it might one day rip you open. To devote yourself to a life’s calling, knowing that what gives you the most meaning might also be your undoing. To experience the full spectrum of being human, rather than spend your life protecting yourself from it. Because a life spent avoiding pain is often a life spent avoiding pleasure, too.
