REVUE by SCOUT

In this salon-style episode of REVUE by SCOUT, Gabrielle Scout sits down with Brittany Ricketts, co-founder of House of Preservation, the Dallas- and Austin-based med spa, for a conversation that moves from unfiltered girl talk into genuine expertise. Gabrielle and Brittany met on Instagram years ago and finally connected in person, discovering they’re navigating nearly identical chapters: both are 50/50 custody moms to kids born weeks apart, both building businesses, both redefining what ambition looks like on the other side of a relationship that didn’t work out. The first half is personal and unguarded: motherhood without guilt, dating from abundance instead of fear, and why “single mom” doesn’t quite capture the reality of doing it well. The second half is where Brittany takes the reins with real authority, walking through her philosophy on injectables, lasers, and the concierge peptide protocol she’s building at House of Preservation. Topics explored in this episode include: Redefining single motherhood inside a 50/50 custody schedule, and why time apart from your child can make you a better, more present parent. The abundance mindset behind dating without needing anything from a partner, and Brittany’s advice to stop looking for a husband and start looking for a great father. How ambition sharpened after becoming a mom, and why entrepreneurs are wired to expect a full life rather than settle. A real breakdown of the entry-level aesthetics stack: skincare, filler, Sculptra, Radiesse, and the lasers actually worth your time. An inside look at the future of longevity: peptides, NAD, MOTS-c, and how House of Preservation is building a concierge model around them. This episode is for the woman building a business, raising a kid on her own terms, and refusing to shrink her standards for either one.

This week, Gabrielle is trading the polish for sweatpants and getting into the girl chat to end all girl chats. Fresh off a family trip and about to leave on another, she's sharing the conversation she wishes someone had given her before she became a mom: the real, unfiltered truth about building a business and raising a child at the same time. Pulled straight from an Instagram question box, this episode works through the deepest, darkest fears ambitious women carry about motherhood - time, maternity leave, business failure, feeling trapped, losing themselves - with zero sugarcoating and a lot of hope. In This Episode Why Gabrielle is recording cozy this week, and why that changes the texture of the conversation The Emma Grede moment that cracked open Gabrielle's entire philosophy on motherhood Why "fifty-fifty parenthood" is a myth, and why women deserve more support, not equal treatment The fear of not having enough time - and why constraint actually makes you a sharper entrepreneur Taking maternity leave without a business built to survive it, and how to build your "number two" Facing the fear that your business might fail - and why every entrepreneur meets that moment Feeling permanently trapped by motherhood, and why that feeling doesn't cancel out love Losing yourself as a mother, the "default parent" trap, and why self-abandonment isn't good parenting Gabrielle's core philosophy: no martyrs, no self-sacrifice - children deserve happy, expressed mothers Connect with Gabrielle Follow along on Instagram @gabriellescoutmaio Learn more about Scout's Agency at scoutsagency.com Read REVUE, Gabrielle's newsletter for the most interesting woman in the room HERE Loved This Episode?

Gabrielle sits down with longtime friend and content creator Kenzie Elizabeth (host of The House Guest Podcast) for a catch-up that turns into an unexpectedly deep dive on money. They cover her engagement, her rebrand from I Love You So Much to Houseguest, and how she built her needlepoint and home brand. But the real heart of the episode is a candid conversation about the business behind the content: revenue models, limiting beliefs around money, self-funding vs. investors, and what her team actually looks like. If you're a female founder, a bride-to-be, or curious about the difference between content-based and product-based business models, this one's for you. In this episode: Kenzie's journey from a 16-year-old YouTuber to "the Gen Z Martha Stewart," and why she feels more like her childhood self now than ever The difference between content creation revenue and product-based business revenue Why she's never taken outside investors, and how she self-funded her needlepoint line Needlepoint sales up 760% since January - and why almost no one, including Kenzie, saw that coming Working through limiting beliefs and shame around money, and why female founders need to talk about it more openly What her team actually looks like: creative director, EA, wholesale/ops, freelancers, and a financial planner keeping her on track Hiring her first W-2 employees - and why it got easier each time Working with her fiancé, Charlie, and what makes their partnership work Wedding planning as a "type B bride" with a "type A groom," and the one piece of advice she swears by for staying connected on the big day Guest Kenzie Elizabeth — content creator and host of Houseguest, founder of her needlepoint and home brand Find her: @KenzieElizabeth Free Resource Download Scout's Agency's free pitch template — the exact guest pitch template used to book over 6,000 podcast episodes, including the pitch used to book Gabrielle on 7 podcasts in 3 weeks.

Gabrielle Scout is back after almost six months away, and a lot has changed...starting with the name of this podcast. Welcome to REVUE by SCOUT. In this episode, Gabrielle pulls back the curtain on where she's actually been: the four-year "domino wipeout" that took down almost every identity she'd built: the first hard season at Scout's Agency, closing Okay Sis Podcast with her sister, selling her home, the end of her marriage, and becoming a single mom. She talks about why visibility felt impossible while she was rebuilding, the acqui-hire offer she turned down to bet on herself, and how she finally stopped treating "business Gabrielle" and "REVUE Gabrielle" as two different women. This episode is part update, part behind-the-scenes, part reintroduction...and it sets up everything to expect from this show going forward: weekly episodes, real interviews with women in business and creativity, and conversations that go deeper than the usual podcast format. In this episode: Why Gabrielle stepped back from content, her podcast, and being the face of her business The four-year "domino wipeout": business hardship, closing Okay Sis Podcast, divorce, selling her home, single motherhood Turning down an acqui-hire deal from a dream PR agency to bet on Scout's Agency instead The "Interesting Woman" archetype and why Gabrielle split herself into two identities — the Scout's Agency woman and the REVUE woman How she finally integrated both sides of herself, and what's next for Scout's Agency What to expect from REVUE by Scout going forward: weekly episodes, interviews, and deep, nuanced conversations on money, motherhood, ambition, and self Follow along: REVUE, Gabrielle's Substack newsletter — a Sunday newsletter plus personal essays twice a month Scout's Agency — the leading agency for booking women as podcast guests Instagram: @gabriellescoutmaio Support the show (free, and it means everything): Rate and review REVUE by SCOUT on Apple Podcasts or Spotify Screenshot this episode and share it to your stories — tag Gabrielle so she can reshare Come say hi: @gabriellescoutmaio on Instagram Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Get full access to REVUE at revuewoman.substack.com/subscribe

In this salon-style episode of PODCAST by SCOUT, Gabrielle Scout sits down with Alexandra Cadiz — designer, musician and co-founder of lighting design brand CERAMICAH — for a raw, electric conversation about what it actually takes to stop performing palatability and start living as the fullest version of yourself. What began as an instant digital connection — "the same person in different fonts" — unfolds into a deeply honest dialogue on the emotional architecture of self-trust, the shame women carry around being multidimensional, and why the smallest moments of self-betrayal are the ones that cost us the most. Topics explored in this episode include: Why self-trust is built in micro-moments — not grand gestures — and how choosing freedom over shame in the smallest daily decisions rewires your entire nervous system The difference between self-confidence and self-worth, and why you can have sky-high belief in your abilities while still struggling to receive love, support, and abundance What it means to be "too much" as a woman, where that wound originates, and the reframe that turns it from a liability into your most magnetic quality Hyper-independence as a form of control — and why releasing it is essential to embodying your feminine energy The tension between the hustle and the feminine, and why the conversation isn't about discarding one for the other but learning when to turn the volume up on each How the "easygoing girl" myth keeps women muted, and why the right relationships — romantic, creative, professional — actually want you at full expression Why being a villain in someone else's story might be the most liberating permission slip you give yourself Eldest daughter syndrome, the good girl pattern, and how both show up in business negotiations, dating, and creative expression The cultural lie of selflessness as the highest feminine virtue — and the first generation rewriting that narrative in real time This episode is for the woman who knows exactly who she is behind closed doors but hasn't fully let the world see it yet. It is a permission slip, a mirror, and a dare.
