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.
