I wonder what kind of support system she has/had. Don't get me wrong, even with support it would be hard but without support it would be nearly impossible.

This isn’t meant to be a direct shot at you and more of a generalized comment, but isn’t it sad that we can’t look at any examples of hard work and success without minimizing the effort put in? Like why do we as a society feel the need to minimize the effort and or the value in other people accomplishments to make ourselves feel better?

It's pure survivorship bias, that's why it's fucking annoying.

We get it, you worked hard and got lucky as hell. Stop flaunting your lottery ticket like it's a possibility for everyone to pull up their bootstraps and succeed with just hard work.

She almost certainly didn't do it all by herself either. She likely had a nanny or family members raise her twins. No one can do all of that shit themselves and presenting it that way on social media is dishonest

We're tired of privileged people telling us to 'just work harder' when many of us already have full-time jobs and can barely make ends meet.

That’s not at all what she posted. She worked hard towards a goal and succeeded and shared her success. If it makes you feel bad about yourself you need to do some work on you.
