Monique Rodriguez isn’t just the CEO and founder of Mielle Organics; she’s a powerhouse of perseverance, faith, and innovation. In this captivating episode of Motivational Mondays, NSLS host Corey Andrew Powell sits down with Monique to delve into her inspiring journey—from a dedicated nurse to a trailblazing entrepreneur in the beauty industry. Listeners will uncover how embracing one’s purpose, overcoming personal hardships, and building genuine community can fuel both career success and personal growth. 

At the heart of Monique’s narrative is a steadfast faith that turned personal tragedy into a catalyst for transformation. Following the devastating loss of her son in 2013, Monique experienced a profound shift in perspective. Instead of succumbing to despair, she allowed herself to grieve and, importantly, to heal by leaning into her spiritual beliefs. She explains in this episode how this period of deep introspection not only reinforced her resilience but also helped her realize that every hardship carries within it the seeds of growth.

This week, you’ll learn how Monique derived the name of her brand from her daughters’ names and an unexpected connection to the word “honey,” the experience that led Monique to transition from nursing to entrepreneurship, and the importance of establishing genuine relationships and leveraging mentorship to achieve your goals.
