Roll the Dice, Sis. Because Playing It Safe Never Built a Legacy.

By Dr. Christia’n Annice "The People's Coach"

Let me start by telling you something that nobody ever told me when I was broke, confused, lost, and knee-deep in heartbreak:

Being broke is a choice.

Yeah, I said it. It stings a little, right? I know it does because it stung me too when I had to say it to myself in the mirror. But let’s be clear — the state of being broke? That can happen to anybody. Life happens. Divorce, job loss, unexpected bills, the economy doing backflips. But staying broke? That’s a mindset. That’s a pattern. That’s a decision.

And the day I realized I had the power to choose something different was the day everything changed.

I didn’t have the skills. I didn’t have the knowledge. I didn’t have the disposable income. All I had was a sliver of faith and a whole lot of rock-bottom.

But baby, when I tell you that the right piece of information at the right time can transform your life? I mean it. One gem. One strategy. One shift. That’s all it takes. And that gem? It doesn’t drop into your lap. You gotta go get it. You gotta become a "GOAL GETTER!"

There comes a time — and maybe this is yours — when you have to roll the dice and invest in yourself. You have to. Because if you don’t bet on you, why should anybody else?

After my divorce, I was shattered. Spiritually. Emotionally. Financially. The whole “perfect life” I built from the ground up? Gone. I slipped deep into depression. Hid from the world. Got off social media. Ashamed. Embarrassed. Felt like I failed as a woman, as a wife, as a mother and leader. But I knew I made the right decision because no one deserves to be abused mentally or physically. Especially to save face. You gotta know when to walk away.

But let me tell you about God.

God met me in the storm. Not my friends. Not my family. God.

And He didn’t just bring me out of it. He brought me through it — healed and wiser. And when I got my mind right, the income followed.

I remembered who I was. More importantly, I remembered whose I was.

I’m a daughter of the Most High. And that means no weapon — not heartbreak, not bills, not a zeroed-out bank account — formed against me can prosper.

That’s why I mentor. That’s why I coach.

Because I saw a need. I saw too many women like me — brilliant, powerful, with fire in their spirit — struggling. And not because they weren’t capable. But because they didn’t have access. They didn’t have anyone who looked like them, spoke their language, understood their pain.

So I stepped up. And let me be real with you: I’ve turned middle-class mentees into millionaires. I’ve helped women rebuild their lives in less than a year. What took me 10–15 years now takes my clients 6–12 months.

Because I’ve lived the breakdown. And I know the blueprint to the breakthrough.

And sis, you don’t need to have it all figured out.You don’t need a fancy degree.

You don’t even need a lot of money.

What you do need is:

• A decision.

• A mindset shift.

• A coach like me who gets it.

Start by upgrading your mindset — that’s free. Then invest in the skills — that’s growth. Then apply what you learn — that’s wealth.

Don’t wait for everything to be perfect. Don’t wait for permission. Start where you are with what you have.

Go learn something new. Reconnect with people who pour into you. Step away from the scroll and into the real world. Network. Grow. Shine.

And if you need a mentor, I’m right here. Not perfect. Not polished. Just real — and rooted in purpose.

Because God’s got you. And guess what? So do I.

Now go be great, you got this beautiful. I believe in you.
