Summary
They say don’t judge a book by its cover, and if you’ve ever heard Monique Rodriguez’s story, you know there’s so much more than meets the eye. While most know her as the powerhouse CEO behind Mielle Organics, today she’s pulling back the curtain and grabbing the mic to share something even deeper: her brand-new book, The Glory In Your Story. Sis is telling SJR what it really takes to build a business and be mom beyond the ‘Gram. We’re talking discernment, freedom, and how to see those who have trespassed against us as children of God — say what now? Chile, W.E. said what W.E. said. Tune in!

| 0:00.0 | In order to be a doer of the word, you have to have a belief. |
| 0:04.0 | There has to be something that you believe that drives what you do. |
| 0:08.0 | I want you to begin to examine what do I believe and how is my belief keeping me from doing. |
| 0:14.0 | I can sleep well at night knowing that I'm rooted in my faith and I will focus on those that support me and know my character |

| 1:36.9 | didn't get to know her at all. I recognize that Mother's Day can bring up all types of feelings, |
| 1:43.2 | whether you're maybe battling infertility or even |
