Peptide Therapy for Women: Tara Turnure | Ep 64

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2464997/fan_mail/new] Peptide therapy for women is everywhere right now -- but what's real and what's hype? In Ep 64, Aimee Rickabus sits down with Tara Turnure, founder and CEO of BeautyDrip and creator of The Model Mama, for an honest conversation about peptides, GLP-1s, energy, and hormones. After welcoming twins, Tara faced what so many women know too well: hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, weight gain, and chronic inflammation -- with few real answers. Functional medicine, GLP-1 therapy, and targeted peptide protocols became her turning point. She lost over 40 pounds, got her energy back, and built BeautyDrip to give other women a science-driven, concierge path to feeling like themselves again. In this episode, Tara shares: - Why so many women feel depleted -- and what's happening underneath it - What peptides actually are, minus the hype - How GLP-1s fit into modern metabolic and weight care - The "are peptides the new Botox?" debate - What the "Barbie peptide" buzz is really about - How the 2026 FDA peptide reclassification is reshaping access Whether you're a tired mom, a busy founder, or simply done running on empty, this conversation will help you ask better questions about your own health.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2464997/fan_mail/new] You're not behind. You're not doing it wrong. You're operating inside a system that was never designed for you. In this episode, Aimee Rickabus sits down with Cassie Leonard — engineer, two-time bestselling author, executive coach, and founder of ELMM Coaching — for an unflinching conversation about why the modern workplace still fails working mothers in STEM. After 16 years climbing the corporate ladder in aerospace engineering, Cassie walked away from the corporate world to help other working parents redesign careers that actually work for real life. Cassie shares: - Why the 9-to-5 was built for a 1920s family, not modern working moms - The invisible labor she actively refused to do in corporate - Why "equality" and "equal" are not the same thing - What matrescence is — and why every mother deserves to know - How to engineer your community when the modern world stripped your tribe away - The lie of "lean in" and why hustle culture is past its expiration date - How motherhood is the most undervalued leadership training in corporate America Whether you're working in STEM, leading a team, raising kids, building a business, or all of the above, this conversation will give you the language for what you've been carrying — and a path forward. 🔗 CONNECT WITH CASSIE LEONARD: Instagram: @cassie_redefining_it_all Website: https://www.elmmcoaching.com LinkedIn: Cassie Leonard YouTube: @ELMMcoaching 🔗 CONNECT WITH THE MANAGE HER®: Website: https://www.themanageher.com Instagram: @themanageher ——— The Manage Her® Podcast — hosted by Aimee Rickabus.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2464997/fan_mail/new] Why do high-achieving women shatter when men bounce? After 21 years of coaching across genders and a study of 1,100 women across 60 countries, Deborah Grayson Riegel has the answer — and it's not what you've been told.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2464997/fan_mail/new] Marcie Dean lost her partner, her brother, and her corporate career in less than 6 months. Then she opened GarageBand and started channeling frequency music she had no training to create.
