Wellbeing is Success
The Journey of Dr. Marie-Michelle Rosemond—“Rosie”
Welcome to Rosie’s Library, a platform where I share the defining chapters of my life—moments shaped by faith, fitness, family, and fierce determination. This is where I said Yes to God and began walking in the divine alignment that transformed me—from a C-suite executive to a wellness leader and powerlifting champion. Here’s the heart of it all:
Wellbeing is Success.
Chapter 1: The Gym is My Happy Space
My fitness journey began at age 11. What started as a childhood curiosity turned into a calling—a lifelong love for movement and wellness. From Pilates and yoga to chair fitness and aerobics, I’ve taught and championed holistic health across ages and abilities. But fitness has never just been about physical activity—it’s a metaphor for life.
What space in your life brings you joy? Could it be the very place where your purpose is waiting to be revealed?
My early story is captured in my children’s book, “Rosie Goes to College: A Set-Up for Success,” where young Rosie skips school to attend a college campus with her dad. That day sparked a dream—a reminder that exposure changes expectations.
Chapter 2: Hockey Mom
Have you ever realized that supporting someone else’s dream can unlock your own? As a devoted mother to a student-athlete, I traveled the U.S. and Canada, cheering on my son in hockey, football, and lacrosse. Through those long drives and cold rinks, I learned resilience, balance, and the quiet strength that comes from showing up.
What are you learning while supporting someone else’s journey?
This chapter wasn't just about being a “team mom”—it was preparation for my next season. It taught me that life and leadership are team sports.
Chapter 3: The C-Suite Shift
At the peak of my career, serving as a Vice President in higher education, life shifted drastically. A move, a pandemic, the loss of my father, and serious health scares nearly broke me. I was obese, my blood pressure soared to stroke levels, and my spirit felt crushed.
What if the very crisis you're facing is your calling in disguise?
God used that season to reroute me. Though I didn’t leave the C-Suite by choice, hindsight revealed it was divine intervention. I wasn’t being pushed out—I was being called higher. And I learned this powerful truth:
“Success is not defined by title or paycheck, but by peace, purpose, and presence.”
Chapter 4: Reinvention
With healing came reinvention. I stepped into community wellness—teaching fitness classes, reading my books to students, and encouraging parents, teachers, and leaders. I spoke life into single-parent households, inspired by my second children’s book, “Beloved Daughter: A Single-Parent Success Story.”
Are you ready to embrace the version of you that’s been quietly forming through every trial?
Whether in a classroom or a church, at a school or on a stage, I share the message:
Wellbeing is Success.Chapter 5: A Passion for Powerlifting
Who would’ve thought I’d be setting powerlifting records in my golden years? This “former executive turned fitness leader” now deadlifts, squats, and bench presses with precision and pride. I use my love of math and analytics to grow strength and compete at elite levels—representing organizations like 365 Strong, the United States Powerlifting Association, and the United Powerlifting Association.
What if your strongest season is still ahead?
Powerlifting isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual. With every lift, I’m reminded: You can rise again. You can carry more than you thought. Why Does This Matter?
Because wellness isn’t optional—it’s essential. It’s time to redefine what success looks like for you.
Imagine if:
Every leader had the tools to manage stress and still thrive.
Every athlete was trained in both faith and fitness.
Every person could build mental and emotional resilience through movement.
The gym isn’t just a happy space. It’s a sacred one.
