We are absolutely thrilled to have our friend Drew Rios of Rogue and Fox Floral Co on the pod today! Many of you know her as the energetic, confident, beautiful friend of MOMHOOD we've all gotten to know from the warm energy she radiates over instagram....but that is only just a small portion of who this powerhouse (floral house) entrepreneur is. From banking to nursing to clothing design to going back to her roots (literally)-- Drew's story is one of inspiration, triumph and redemption. We talk about birth order and upbringing, confronting the truth, standing up for what you believe in, walking away from everything, starting over, her greatest accomplishment, breaking the rules, marriage, foreplay and that's just half of it! We learn Drew Rios is a woman who follows her passion above all else. She is unapologetic about being exactly who she is--- even if it's her need to go rogue from the mundane. There is nothing ordinary about her story so buckle up babes.  Follow Drew at @RogueandFox or by visiting her website RogueandFoxFloral.com  You can follow us on Instagram @MomhoodShow @BrandiMilloy @OrlyShani and by joining our private Momhood FB group.
