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.

S2E1: How Childhood Resilience Shaped Her Future As An Entrepreneur Featuring Social Anna | Part 1

You know and love her as Social Anna, but behind the scenes, how did Anna’s childhood shape her into the entrepreneur that she is today? We’re kicking off Season 2 of The Tox Drop with none other than social media guru and CEO of Off the Coast Creative, Anna Erdos! Maggie and Anna sit down for what starts as a lighthearted conversation but quickly unfolds into a deeply personal discussion about marriage, emotional intelligence, faith, and how childhood instability can shape both relationships and entrepreneurship.
Anna opens up about growing up in a chaotic home marked by mental illness, divorce, and financial instability and how being exposed to adult responsibilities at a young age impacted her sense of safety, self-awareness, and drive. She reflects on the male role models who showed up for her when life was uncertain, the complicated relationship with her mother, and how those early experiences influenced her friendships, marriage, faith, and leadership style today. This episode thoughtfully explores themes of reparenting, emotional self-regulation, and learning how to break cycles while still honoring where you came from.
In this episode, you’ll also hear how Anna’s past directly informs the way she runs her business today. Honest, raw, and unexpectedly funny, part one of this conversation sets the foundation for Anna’s story. Press play and get to know Anna on a more personal level, and stay tuned for part two coming next week!
