đ§ fun facts:

⨠q & a:
Q: How did you start all of this?
A: Pain. LOL. But seriouslyâI was sick, scared, and searching for meaning. So I started telling the truth. First to myself, then to the internet. That turned into my podcast, my book, and this wonderland.
Q: Whatâs your podcast about?
A: Itâs called Take Care of Your Body by Ry and itâs like FaceTime with your softest, smartest friend who knows about trauma, gut health, emotional spirals, and how to reparent your inner childâwithout sounding like a textbook.
Q: Can I be your best friend?
A: You already are. If youâve ever cried to one of my captions or talked to me through your screenâweâre in this together now.
Q: Whatâs your book about?
A: Once Upon a Time, I Survived Myself is part memoir, part love letter, part survival guide. For the girls whoâve been through too much and still sparkle when they smile. Itâs for you. Itâs for her. Itâs for who I used to be.
Q: Favorite quote right now?
A: âThe princess saves herself in this one. Well⌠maybe there were a few dragons.â
Q: What inspired you to finally hit publish on your book?
A: In November, I opened up a Google Doc I hadnât touched in almost two years. I had stopped writing when my confidence and self-worth shatteredâwhen I started to believe I wasnât good enough to finish what Iâd started. But then someone came into my life who saw the real me. The version of me that I had stopped fighting for. And for the first time, I believed I could be that girl again. So I finished the book. I hit publish. And I told the world: I survived myself.
Q: Whatâs your go-to coffee order?
A: Depends on the vibe. If Iâm in my fairy-core healing girl era: iced oat milk latte with lavender, honey and cinnamon. If Iâm in my boss-mode content girl era: matcha with collagen and a splash of almond milk. If Iâm spiraling? A cold brew. No explanation. Just chaos.
Q: What does coffee mean to you?
A: Coffee is comfort. Itâs ritual. Itâs soft mornings, laptop days, bookstore dates with myself. Coffee is where I write from. Itâs where I cry and journal and rebuild. Itâs the background hum to my healing.
Q: Whatâs your relationship like with body image now?
A: Oof. Still healing. My body has changed a lotâfrom chronic illness, recovery, trauma, and just life. Iâve had to unlearn the belief that I only deserve love when I shrink. Now, I try to treat my body like someone I love, not someone Iâm trying to fix. Some days are easier than others, but I stay soft. I stay gentle. I choose kindness, even when itâs hard.
Q: What would you say to a young girl dealing with heartbreak, illness, or just⌠life?
A: Iâd tell her this:
You are not too much. You are not too broken. You are not behind.
If youâre hurtingâthereâs nothing wrong with you.
If your body is strugglingâyouâre not a burden.
If someone left or broke your heartâitâs not because you were unlovable.
The world may try to make you small, but you are not here to shrink.
Youâre here to feel. To heal. To become.
And even when it feels like no one gets itâI promise, I do.
Youâre not alone. You are so wildly worthy of softness and survival and joy again.
Q:Who is Rylin Rossano?
A: Sheâs a girl whoâs been through hell and still chose to turn it into something healing.
Sheâs a writer, a wellness advocate, a podcaster, and a studentâbut more than that, sheâs someone who believes in softness as strength, in honesty as a lifeline, and in showing upâeven when itâs hard. She loves hard, and wants to see people win, because she knows what its like not to.
Sheâs not perfect. Sheâs not finished. But sheâs real.
And thatâs always been enough.
