American entrepreneur Monique Rodriguez has had impressive success with her company, Mielle Organics. However, it was not easy for her to begin something new after losing a son. Rodriguez faced an emergency during the pregnancy with her third child, a son. But things did not go well, and she ended up losing him.

Rodriguez is currently a mother of two daughters: Mia and Mackenzie. She had them with her husband, Melvin Rodriguez. The founder and CEO of Mielle Organics often shares pictures and videos of her two daughters on social media. It is evident that she is a proud mother of two, as she never fails to acknowledge their achievements.

Monique Rodriguez's eldest daughter is Mia Rodriguez. According to her Instagram handle, she is 19 years old and in college. She is a model who also suggests to her followers what to shop for.

In August 2020, Monique penned a long note for her firstborn as the latter began high school. Sharing a carousel of photos of her daughter, she wrote:

"Don’t ever try to fit in, always walk to the beat of your own drum, never conform to this world. God created you to have a mind of your own and not be a follower but a leader!!!"

"High school won't be perfect as nothing in life is but always know that Gods grace is always sufficient and will always carry you wherever you go!!" she further advised her daughter.

The 40-year-old also called her daughter talented.

Monique Rodriguez's second daughter is Mackenzie. Last year, Rodriguez praised her daughter for her horse-riding skills. She wrote:

"We are so proud of our 2nd born child Mackenzie. She performed as one of the soldiers at church @fcc4me last night for the 50th annual production of Jesus of Nazareth. She displayed great poise and confidence."

"It has been such a wonderful blessing to witness 1st hand how horse riding as positively impacted her confidence and courage," she added.

Monique Rodriguez opens up about losing her son

Monique Rodriguez has penned her life in her latest memoir, The Glory In Your Story. According to People Magazine, she shared the incident when she lost her third child and first son, Milan. She revealed how a complication in her pregnancy led to her son being born with no brain activity.

In the book, Rodriguez revealed that she was in her eighth month of pregnancy when she felt extreme pain. Her husband drove her to a nearby hospital. While she had had a complicated pregnancy before, she was no stranger to such circumstances. Despite the pain, the nurses did not give her much attention.

She had to wait for about an hour for the doctor to arrive.

"When the doctor finally arrived, they rushed me to the operating room and did a C-section — the very thing we were hoping to not experience. My baby boy was born at 1:40 a.m."

She later learned about her son's condition from her mother. In 2014, about a year later, she began a new business and launched her hair care brand.
