Monique Rodriguez of Mielle Organics
Sistah Girls, we’re back with a brand-new podcast episode! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Monique Rodriguez, CEO of Mielle Organics, to chat about her new book, The Glory in Your Story: Activating a Fearless Faith to Change Your Life, Your Career, and the World.
In her book, Monique is transparent about every facet of her life, from finding her husband to leaving her career as a nurse to chase her dreams. If you’re like me, you may have thought that after Monique left her nursing job, her next venture was creating Mielle Organics–that is false.
She had a few business ventures in between and didn’t quit when things got rough; she used those moments as lessons that would ultimately lead her right to Mielle Organics.
In this episode, we talk about her inspiring journey from a registered nurse to building a multi-million-dollar beauty empire—and how her faith in God helped her navigate personal losses, career pivots, and the many hats she wears as a Black woman entrepreneur.
