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.

    S2E2: “It’s Going To Feel Like Forever, But It’s Not Forever” – Social Anna on Creating The Life You Dream Of | Part 2

    Send Maggie a Message! Social Anna is back for the second half of her conversation with Maggie on The Tox Drop! Near the end of part one, Anna started opening up and sharing more about her backstory. The vulnerability continues in this episode where you’ll hear what it’s like to grow up carrying adult responsibilities too soon, to become a protector for someone you love, and to hold onto a single grounding belief in the middle of instability. That mindset of “it’s going to feel like forever, but it’s not forever”  follows Anna from childhood into college, through early corporate burnout, and into the unexpected, faith-led moment where she walked into a lunch and walked out as a full time entrepreneur. As you listen, you’ll step inside the real behind-the-scenes of going all in. No savings. No backup plan. A canceled wedding. Sold furniture. And still, a deep sense of peace that this was the right move. Anna shares what it truly means to build the plane as you fly, and let fear fuel action instead of stopping it. This episode speaks directly to you if you’ve ever felt stuck between an idea and implementation, if you’ve questioned your readiness, or if you’ve stayed longer than you should because safety felt easier than growth. By the end of this conversation, you’re reminded that you always have a choice. You can choose to change your life. You can choose to act before you feel ready. And you can choose to believe that where you’re starting is not where you’re ending.  Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Connect with Social Anna on Instagram Visit Off The Coast Creative  Thank you for listening to this episode of The Tox Drop!

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.

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.
