The Tox Drop
Welcome to The Tox Drop! This is the podcast where beauty, business, and real life collide. Hosted by Maggie McIntyre, a mom of three, entrepreneur, educator, and esthetic injector, this show dives deep into the real stories behind women who are chasing big dreams, taking bold risks, and balancing it all without the filter.
After earning her M.Ed. from the University of Virginia and spending six years as a special education teacher, Maggie opened Rejuvalase Medspa in Stafford, Virginia, and later founded NoVa Laser & Esthetics Training (NVLET), drawing from her education background and clinical experience to mentor new and master estheticians, nurses, and providers.
Now, Maggie is taking the conversation beyond the treatment room, giving women a platform to get raw, unhinged, and real about life behind the success stories. Each week, you’ll hear from inspiring women, entrepreneurs, mothers, and creators who’ve turned struggle into strength and passion into purpose. From navigating the chaos of motherhood to building thriving businesses and embracing self-care that actually means something, The Tox Drop is your front-row seat to unFILLtered conversations that celebrate resilience, growth, and everything it takes to create a beautiful life inside and out.
Whether you’re in the esthetics industry, a small business owner, or simply need the reminder that you're not alone in your struggles, or if you love a good story of triumph with a touch of beauty and Botox, this podcast is for you.

S1E8: Growing Up Between Cultures | A Journey of Identity and Self-Discovery with Angie Robinson Part 1
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Tox Drop, Maggie sits down with her longtime friend and Director of Operations at Rejuvalase, Angie Robinson, to unpack a beautiful and deeply personal story of identity, culture, and self-discovery.
Born in Manhattan and raised between the Bronx and Spanish Harlem, Angie opens up about her childhood split between two homes, her close-knit family, and the vivid memories that defined her early years.
But her story takes a turn when her family moves to Miami, where Angie experiences a new culture, language barriers, and a slower pace of life that felt worlds apart from her New York upbringing. As a Puerto Rican and Cuban woman who didn’t grow up speaking Spanish, Angie shares how she reconnected with her roots by learning the language through love, navigating new cultural expectations, and embracing her bicultural identity with pride.
Filled with nostalgia, laughter, and lessons on growth, this episode is a heartwarming reminder that where you come from shapes you—but it doesn’t define who you become. This episode is just part 1 of Angie’s story, be sure to stay tuned for next week when we continue the conversation in part 2! In the meantime, grab your favorite beverage and enjoy getting to know the beauty that is, Angie Robinson!
