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.

Get ready for a real deep dive into confronting our shadows. Those things that have followed us for years that we avoid, the parts of us that make us uncomfortable or sad, scared or angry. We get into it! Brandi and Orly take turns reading letters they wrote to their younger selves. It gets emotional and real but also there is so much clarity in this exercise. We hope you’ll do this along with us or practice this exercise with your significant other or a friend.

From neighborly complaints, poor progress reports and the dilemma of social media, Brandi & Orly catch up on what's been happening in momhood. Brandi shares the letter she received from an anonymous neighbor complaining about her crying baby disturbing the peace of the neighborhood (see the letter on Instagram @MOMHOODSHOW), Orly shares her son's satisfactory behavior in school and the non-negotiable rule she has in her home and then we discuss Netflix's new documentary on social media.

See you next week Mamas, for part 2 of our long awaited second half of our interview with Susan Yara! -
Ever been called out by your kid... on your parenting...and you know they're right? What did you do? Orly's daughter straight up called her out on something and we get into it. If you could go back to that instance and say or do something differently, would you? Why do we parent the way we parent? How much of what we say and do is learned from our parents and how they parented us? How do you know what is best, right or wrong? And what role does our subconscious mind play in how we make decisions in our home?
We really go down the rabbit hole with this one and dig deep to figure out clarity and ultimately what is best for us.

Sometimes you just need to cry it out. And for Orly, today is one of those days. From receiving heartbreaking news about her first baby, her fur baby golden retriever, Cali...to the overwhelming stressors of life and the torturous juggle called work and life (there is no such thing as balance, just waves and finding your rhythm)--Orly shares what she's been feeling and how she's coping with this new normal.
