"Five years ago, I never would have admitted that I got Botox. I was kind of saying, isn't it interesting how I now go online and see all my television colleagues, friends, all actively saying that they have Botox.

C-suite clients are getting treatments to age themselves down, with a focus on looking energetic, young, and full of vitality. Plastic surgeons report a significant increase in demand for facial procedures among executives.

"I always ask myself what defines success for me. As I get older, it's not some superficial thing. I'm at a point where I don't want to waste my days."

It was the highlight of my life and everyone loved it. It also was the worst time of my life ever. It was the worst of times, b****. The entertainment industry led me to substance abuse and alcoholism and my life falling apart. I got chewed up and spit out by Hollywood, girl.

What does loving yourself at any size mean now that weight loss is back in fashion and becoming more accessible than ever? Can you still be body positive while wanting to lose weight?

I am familiar with this feeling. Breadcrumb trails of heat lead to pain that's called minor, pressure that's called surprising. Rooms like this-the salon where my scalp scalds as my curls burn away or the aesthetician's office where I lie as vulnerable as I might in a hospital bed-are drenched in anxiety's musk, scented with antibacterial spray. The women who leave me their warmth are like older sisters, evidence files, guinea pigs, role models, comrades, and competition.
