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.

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.

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