Real Talk Affirmations with Retro Grit

Smartass Affirmations is a laugh‑out‑loud, no‑nonsense collection of daily mantras that mix nostalgia, wit, and real‑talk motivation—perfect for anyone who grew up on mixtapes and for every grown‑up who wants affirmations with attitude. Smart Azz Auntie (Rhonda James) serves up pocket‑sized pep talks that cut through toxic positivity and deliver retro grit for modern life.

Written by viral creator Smart Azz Auntie, this book blends sharp Gen X humor with clear, practical encouragement that feels like advice from your smartest friend. Inside are over 100 affirmations organized by themes such as Aging, Nostalgia, Resilience, Attitude and Sass, Boundaries and Peace, and Self‑Love and Humor. Each entry is short enough to use in a morning routine and memorable enough to repeat during hectic days. The tone is candid, funny, and grounded, which means no syrupy clichés and no toxic positivity. You will find quick hits for confidence, reminders to protect your peace, and lighthearted nudges that keep you moving when life gets loud. Although the voice carries a Gen X vibe, the guidance fits any adult who prefers real talk, relatable stories, and pep talks that actually sound human. Use it as a daily pick‑me‑up, a gift for a friend, or a desk companion you can open to any page for a fast reset.

This is the permission slip to be gloriously you. If you survived dial‑up, latchkey afternoons, and unsupervised summers, you’ve already mastered resilience; now you’ll have 105 punchy affirmations to reclaim your time, protect your peace, and laugh while you do it.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Benefits that stick: quick, witty affirmations you’ll actually remember and repeat when life gets loud.
  • Real‑world mindset resets for boundaries, work drama, parenting, and midlife plot twists.
  • Analog‑era wisdom (and wisecracks) that deliver modern confidence without the performative positivity.

If you liked I Am Capable of Anything, You Are F*cking Beautiful, or Badass Affirmations, then you’ll love Smartass Affirmations.
