Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋
When I was reading through the answers from today’s Real Talk Tuesday guest, I literally stopped and thought, "Wait, I need to write that down." ✍️
"Success is not owned, it's rented, and rent is due every day."
Technically, it’s the advice Monique Rodriguez's husband gave her years ago, but it’s such a banger, I had to put it right at the top of the newsletter instead of making you scroll for it.
Monique is the founder of Mielle, one of the fastest-growing beauty brands in the world, and today she opens up about building a billion-dollar beauty empire from her kitchen, why she still doesn't feel like she's "made it," and the advice she'd give her younger self.
Other stuff the Girlboss team is yapping about on Slack:
This adorable baby pygmy hippo is a whole (work) mood. 🦛
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is documenting her egg freezing process.
