    As Season 2 of The Tox Drop wraps up, Maggie and Beth are back to share the second half of Beth’s story.

    From a whirlwind young romance to building a life in New York City, raising children, and ultimately growing apart from one another– Beth is back to share more about her story. In part one, we learned about Beth’s childhood and how she grew up in Europe, torn between two families, and ended up meeting her husband in high school. Now we’re picking up where we left off and diving into more about Beth’s love story, what it means to grow into yourself after growing apart from your partner, navigating grief, and stepping into a new chapter.

    As Beth steps into a new decade, she reflects on her achievements in the last few years– earning her doctorate, redefining love in her late 40s, and embracing what she calls her “selfish” era. You’ll be reminded that it’s never too late to choose yourself.

    There’s no better way to end this incredible season than with Beth’s story. Her resilience is a true testament that hardships are just a blip of time, and there is so much more to life past that hardship.

  • S2E11: Childhood Kidnapping, Surviving COVID, and Saving Lives as an ICU Nurse | Beth’s Story Part 1
    Apr 8 2026

    Send Maggie a Message!

    Two of your favorite Rejuva-ladies are joining together for a powerful and honest conversation! Injector Beth is joining Maggie on The Tox Drop to share all about her story, including navigating a childhood kidnapping, and later surviving COVID as an ICU nurse.

    You’re taken behind the scenes of the COVID-19 pandemic through the eyes of an ICU nurse who was there with Northern Virginia’s patient zero. Besides being an injector at Rejuvalase, Beth is living the best of both worlds also as a doctorate-level nurse practitioner and frontline healthcare worker. She shares what it was like navigating fear, exposure, and the emotional weight of a global crisis with no clear answers. This raw conversation highlights the untold realities of frontline workers, pandemic trauma, and the resilience it takes to show up when everything feels uncertain.

    You’ll also hear the unbelievable truth about her childhood in Europe. Growing up between France and Germany, speaking multiple languages, and experiencing a real-life international custody battle that led to a “kidnapping” between families who both loved her deeply. It’s a shocking story that sounds like it should be a movie.

    This episode reflects on resilience, sacrifice, and the reminder that there are many layers to people’s stories and even if you’re closely working with them for six years, you may not know their whole story. Beth’s story is continuing in next week’s episode as we wrap up Season 2 of The Tox Drop! Stay turned for that episode where Beth will share more about marriage, divorce, motherhood, and stepping into her 50th year! Press play and get the drop on Beth!

  • S2E7: The Grease Monkey’s Biscuits: Jessica Wilkins’ Empowering Story of Grit From Navy Engineer to Culinary Genius | Part 1
    Mar 11 2026

    Send Maggie a Message!

    The creator of the most mouth-watering biscuits in Spotsylvania, Virginia found her start in the depths of a Naval Destroyer Ship.

    Join Maggie for an inspiring conversation with Jessica Wilkins—mother, Navy veteran, and owner of The Biscuit Batch in Spotsylvania. Jessica’s journey is anything but ordinary. From working as a gas turbine mechanic in 135-degree engine rooms aboard a naval destroyer in Pearl Harbor to secretly baking biscuits for fellow sailors during deployment, her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and unexpected passion. What started as a creative escape in the Navy would eventually become the foundation for a thriving culinary career.

    Before biscuits, there were bold dreams of fashion design inspired by shows like Project Runway and ambitions to attend FIDM. Raised in California by two LAPD parents, Jessica’s path took several sharp turns—from interior design to military service to culinary school—each chapter shaping the woman and entrepreneur she would become. Along the way, she faced cultural challenges, racism, single motherhood, and the emotional aftermath of a medical discharge from the military. Yet through every setback, baking remained the one constant calling her forward.

    In this episode, Jessica opens up about identity, discipline, motherhood, and what it really takes to start over in your early twenties. This is a story about grit, growth, and discovering your purpose. Be sure to tune in next week for Part Two, where they dive into Jessica’s appearances on Food Network’s Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen, and how she built a beloved restaurant brand in Virginia, known as The Biscuit Batch.

  • S2E5: The Franchise Was Thriving. The Marriage Was Cracking. How Dori Stewart Built Her Business To Be Her Way Out | Part 1
    Feb 25 2026

    Send Maggie a Message!

    This week on The Tox Drop, Maggie sits down with Dori Stewart – mother, international franchisor, community leader, founder of Fredericksburg Neighbors, and author of Own the Block.

    Before she was a business owner franchising across the globe, Dori was a high school engineering teacher who loved giving students a chance to shine beyond the football field. What began as an after-school program for her own elementary-aged children quickly grew into Engineering For Kids, a business that would out-earn her teaching salary in a single summer and eventually expand through franchising. But while her professional life was accelerating, her personal life was quietly unraveling. In this candid and deeply honest conversation, Dori shares what it looked like to build a business in private, navigate an unsupportive marriage, plan a strategic exit during a recession, and protect not only her children—but hundreds of franchisees who depended on her leadership.

    This episode is about more than entrepreneurship. It’s about being seen. It’s about necessity igniting courage. It’s about winning your zip code before you try to win the world. And it’s about the quiet strength it takes to rebuild your life from the inside out.

    As always, stay tuned for the second half of Maggie and Dori’s conversation, next week! In the second half of this conversation, they explore how Dori rebuilt, found love again, and stepped fully into the life and leadership she owns today. This conversation with Dori is filled with relatability and inspiration, so grab coffee from your favorite local coffee shop, and press play!
