What happens when two cousins spot a gap most of us overlook — and decide to build a movement around it?

In this episode of The Manage Her, host Aimee Rickabus sits down with Denielle Finkelstein and Thyme Sullivan, the co-founders and co-CEOs of UNICORN. From corporate boardrooms to stadium restrooms, they are reimagining bathroom access and product equity with sleek, thoughtful dispensers now found in places like Chase, American Express, and airports across the country.

We talk about:
✨ The spark that led two women to leave corporate careers and launch UNICORN
✨ Building a business as family and co-CEOs
✨ Scaling a mission-driven company into Fortune 500 spaces
✨ Redesigning restrooms as hubs of dignity, wellness, and inclusion
✨ Advice for women ready to turn invisible gaps into bold businesses

This conversation is a reminder that leadership isn’t always about inventing something new — sometimes it’s about noticing what’s been ignored, and daring to redesign it.

What if your leadership story didn’t start in a boardroom, but on a high school gym floor, coaching teenagers and solving real-life problems with heart, humor, and grit?

In this episode of The Manage Her, I sit down with Alyssa Nolte, CEO of TruVue, host of The Growth Signal and Taking Back Monday, and one of my favorite accidental entrepreneurs.

Alyssa and I first met on a Viva Women’s Roundtable hosted by Midori Verity, and instantly bonded over our shared experiences as women in tech, moms of young kids, and founders who believe systems and intuition can coexist.

In this episode, we dive into:
✅ How Alyssa went from volunteer dance coach to tech founder
✅ The origin story of Form Dash and what inspired TruVue
✅ Navigating leadership as a mom and a CEO
✅ Using humor and intuition to lead through uncertainty
✅ Why invisible labor IS leadership and how women can own it
✅ What she’s learned hosting two very different podcasts

If you’ve ever wondered if you’re “qualified enough” to start your dream business, or how to balance motherhood with meaningful work, this conversation will inspire you to start before you’re ready.

The Scariest Part Wasn’t Writing the Book
A Solo Episode with Aimee Rickabus | The Manage Her Podcast

In this special solo episode, Aimee Rickabus — author of The Manage Her, CEO, and mother of six — opens up about what it really feels like to stand on the edge of your comfort zone and leap into something vulnerable, honest, and public.

Writing her book wasn’t the hard part.
Sharing it with the world was.

This episode is a raw reflection on perseverance, fear, motherhood, and purpose — and the quiet strength it takes to move forward, even when your hands are shaking. Aimee shares lessons from launching her book, preparing to speak at Stanford, navigating burnout, and why now, more than ever, we need to honor the invisible labor of women.

In this episode, Aimee shares:
    •    How to recognize fear as a sign you’re growing
    •    What it means to lead with vulnerability and beginner’s mind
    •    An invitation to take the leap — whatever your leap may be

“There are women holding entire worlds together before 9 AM, and still questioning if they’ve done enough.”

If you’re launching something, navigating fear, or simply trying to find your spark — this episode will remind you: You are not alone.
