In this powerful episode of The Manage Her Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend and renowned functional medicine doctor, Dr. Mary “Sunny” Raleigh, founder of Restoration Healthcare in Irvine, California.

Dr. Sunny is known for treating the patients no one else can—those suffering from Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, and chronic conditions that traditional medicine often overlooks. But beyond her medical brilliance, she’s also a mom of three teenage boys, one of whom is about to graduate high school.

We dive into what it really takes to raise a family while running a high-impact business, including how she manages her clinic from Idaho, commutes across states, and still shows up fully for her patients and her family. We talk co-parenting, distance parenting, and the realities of being a woman who leads at home and at work.

Dr. Sunny also shares amazing insights into:

 • The gut-brain connection and its role in healing
 • How to support concussion recovery
 • Small changes that make a big impact on overall health

This is a must-listen for moms, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating family life while trying to change the world.

Welcome to the very first solo episode of The Manage Her Podcast with Aimee Rickabus!

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and inviting you into my world. I talk candidly about my life as a mom of six (yes, six!)—with kids ranging from toddlers to grown-ups—and what it’s really like to juggle motherhood, marriage, entrepreneurship, and self-growth.

I also share the story behind my book “The Manage Her”—how it came to life, the heart behind it, and the message I believe every woman needs to hear: that the invisible work we do *is* leadership, and it’s time we start treating it like it is.

This episode is full of real stories, big feelings, and the truths I’ve learned from the beautiful chaos of everyday life. If you’ve ever felt unseen, stretched thin, or wondered if you’re doing enough—this one’s for you.

Thanks for being here. Let’s grow together.
