"Because being informed is the new survival skill."

š Real Talk
Nobody's Coming to Save You ā And That's the Best News You'll Hear All Day
Let me keep it real for a second.
Nobody is coming to rescue you.
Not the government.
Not your job.
Not your favorite influencer with the perfect morning routine and a $9 matcha habit.
If youāre waiting for a miracle ā let me be your wake-up call: You are it.
The strongest, smartest, most dangerous version of you is built in the middle of hard times ā not on the other side of them.
So get up.
Get gritty.
Drink your coffee (black, preferably).
Stack your wins today ā even if theyāre small, quiet, and donāt make it to Instagram.
Prepared people sleep better.
Prepared people survive storms.
Prepared people own their life ā because they stopped waiting for someone else to do it.
Youāve got this.
But only if you act like it.
Rosanne's Rule of Life: Complain less. Prepare more. Move smarter. Sleep better.
