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.

In this transformative solo episode of The Manage Her, Aimee Rickabus — CEO of Tomahawk Information Solutions, mother of six, and author of The Manage Her — invites you into a raw, reflective, and radically honest conversation about purpose, burnout, and the invisible work that too often goes unrecognized.

This episode is a love letter to the women holding everything together behind the scenes — the quiet leaders, emotional load bearers, community weavers, and caregivers who are, quite literally, moving the world forward one small act at a time.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
• Why invisible labor is actually a form of world-shaping leadership
• How to reclaim your purpose through a “one-degree shift”
• Why burnout is not a failure, but a cultural symptom
• The power of domestic diplomacy, ritual, and sisterhood as revolutionary acts
• Stories of women who turned pain into purpose, and spark into action
• A closing reminder that you are a changemaker — right here, right now

Whether you’re navigating motherhood, identity shifts, a calling that won’t leave you alone, or just feeling the weight of being everything to everyone — this episode is for you.

You don’t need a five-year plan. You need presence.
You don’t need credentials to lead. You need love.
And you don’t need permission — you already have the spark.

✨ If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it too.
