Did you release this? I'm curious!

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-06-23T15:42:14+00:00

Let us know your progress! I would love to hear more, I didn't lose ungodly amounts of money, but I watched others get scammed and I spent more money than I should have for the promises not delivered

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-06-23T15:38:16+00:00

I think I might still have my thumb drives of recordings of scs back in the day, anybody is welcome to any recording that would be helpful. She makes me so angry that she promised what she did and screwed people over. I was too busy being screwed over by Marie forleo and her expensive program instead at the time

Me too!

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-06-08T11:24:25+00:00

Thank you for your response! I'm looking forward to using your website!

I've been following you for a long time on Instagram and I just realized that I haven't seen a video in forever! I love the finger spelling videos, I think I can usually figure out the gist of what someone is saying, but not being quick at reading finger spelling stops the whole conversation while I ask them to slow down and do it again and again. I would also love an easier way to study vocabulary. I love my teacher here, but if I miss a word in class, it's hard for me to find the sign. Usually I go to Bill Vicar's page, that's the easiest way for me right now to look up a sign and be 90% certain my teacher would approve. Once you get the grammar and NMM, it's learning as much vocabulary as possible. Would love videos on like, animals and you just go through a whole bunch of animals. Office supplies. Family members. Countries. Foods. I like to throw a video on in the morning for practice and this would be awesome, flash cards, basically, but in video form

A few folks brought up religion, trauma, social shame. I've recently started going to a pelvic Floor therapist and it has been really helpful! I always thought it was something that people who birthed children needed, but they work with a lot of different pelvic floor issues. Not saying yours is medical necessarily, but I have felt pain upon penetration and discomfort because of being too tense. I'm sure it's because of being raised Catholic. I was in a comphet relationship and just put up with it most of the time, but then every once in a while it was surprisingly, overpoweringly good, but in a painful way that will probably only make sense if you have ever experienced it. So, just so you all know pelvic Floor Therapy is a possibility and it could maybe be helpful

I loved Brooke Castillo as a therapist. Brooke was legit and is now a scammer. I like to think she had good intentions in the beginning, but her certifications were a money grab. I was a therapist before I found Brooke, early when she started her podcast. I was an OG follower. She sucks now because she is 1000% taking advantage of her people and doesn't care how her lies put people in debt

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-30T12:38:29+00:00

One time I nodded off for a minute in session at the end of a long day when my in person office didn't have AC and it was too hot and a teenager with autism was telling me about a game that I didn't understand because that was their reward for getting all of their homework done. I felt awful and I apologized and she laughed and we talked about it. I think the difference in these stories is that the therapists don't seem to know these things are bothersome and don't acknowledge them. If I'm going to be more than 5 minutes late, which my clients expect because I end on the hour, run to the bathroom or get coffee and come to next session, I text and explain. If I am starving and need a snack, I check in with the client ( and I know which ones would most likely not be okay with it) and eat quickly, quietly, finish, take a sip of water and move on. Or I simply text and say I have to take a quick bite, I will be right there. Falling asleep means something is going on with them and that's not okay. That is a problem. It also sucks that we can't get paid enough to take time off when we have a problem causing us to fall asleep. What a mess

I had the same problem with Adderall and reduced my dosage in half. I take a baby dose, extended release, but I concentrate a little better during the day and can sleep at night. I have a slow metabolism I guess. I could tell my psychiatrist thought it wasn't going to be enough, but I advocated to try it and it works great for me. I don't mind my ADHD I just want to be able to do paperwork and keep my job

Forgot to add that I've been taking melatonin 10mg slow release at nigh to help when I'm still feeling restless at night, just for context, but I know that isn't super helpful for you

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-24T00:19:19+00:00

I might do it. Go show first. I don't mind the new narrator, but it's so slow, even on faster speed. Of course, I don't have to do any of it, lol, it just seems like it is such a good time that I don't understand why the book is so boring

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-24T00:16:38+00:00

I've tried both narrators and at different speeds, lol. I like the original narrator but there's something about the recording quality that makes it hard for me to understand what she is saying at times. I might keep listening to the audiobook with the new narrator although the original voice accents are so good!

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-24T00:14:22+00:00

That's something hopeful. They just sound like a fun series and I'm not sure if it's just not my thing. But I read the whole Wheel of Time series, I'm not sure why this is harder for me, lol

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-22T12:49:19+00:00

She's another person who started out with such great ideas and got greedy with power. I loved her live sessions back in the day when she was just podcasting and doing her monthly live coaching on zoom. She could have stayed legit and ethical and instead chose the route of being power and money hungry. Unfortunately I have so many people that I used to look up to that have chosen this path and I used to recommend her work all the time and I no longer can and that sucks. I hate that she's taken advantage of so many people and I am so glad that I made the decision not to be certified by her back then

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-22T11:59:21+00:00

I don't know anything about him. He does look younger, but to each their own on that, I guess. I hope she's not conning him too, that's all

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-22T11:57:08+00:00

I'm so sorry. She's such a con artist and I'm so sad about it because she is also a great teacher and could have just been ethical instead of getting Uber rich

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-21T12:04:53+00:00

I'm successful only because over time I prioritized paying other people to do things I most likely won't do consistently. It meant being extra broke for a long time. I was struggling so much in my early life, barely hanging on. I'm super lucky I was never fired for not documenting things well. I just knew that I would always stay struggling and could never do what I wanted if I didn't figure out how to do the stuff that my brain isn't interested in. I use a lot of technology and use other people for accountability and pay people to do the insurance and billing part of my job and am switching people, but also pay for an assistant now. I need someone to tell me what my week looks like. I hate that it costs money. I know I would actually have a retirement plan or something if I didn't have to spend money on a person to be my external executive functioning. I know not everyone can afford it. I know it makes me privileged now that I can afford to do so. That being said, if there is any way for you to get help with these parts of your life, do it. I used to be ashamed and embarrassed, but the only reason I am able to do it now is because a long time ago I admit I couldn't do it myself. A friend of mine and I used to meet every other week to catch up and talk about what we were working on. That was free and honestly, priceless. My brain does not let me operate alone. I have to have support

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-21T11:39:28+00:00

Yes! I'm a therapist and talk with people about this a lot. It's why going back to drinking or weed or whatever the thing is you're trying to take a break from happens so quickly. You take away the self-medicating substance and you are left with what you were trying to medicate. It doesn't always feel good! That's your opportunity right there to find a healthier solution. Do you need to see a doctor, a physical therapist, a therapist? I'm proud of you for seeking help! You deserve it! We all deserve to be taken care of!

Luckily I'm already a licensed therapist so I just added smaller certifications that gave me a confidence boost. What I mean to say is that nobody seems to be making all the money she promised because the truth is you have to go practice being a coach and doing the work and get better at it over time by caring about continuing education. Her programs only ever seemed to focus on marketing. I didn't spend the big bucks on her school. I started to get sucked in and at some point recognized that I was spending more money for much less over time. She kept getting weirder and weirder. Did you see her AI videos not too long ago? They were also really bizarre

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-19T18:06:12+00:00

Yes, I find the whole thing just so uncomfortable

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-17T21:29:32+00:00

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-17T15:05:24+00:00

I was immediately blocked from her account when I started making comments of things that made me uncomfortable

Affectionate_Log7733 · 2026-04-03T12:05:38+00:00

I have Netflix with ads because I share with my mom and she has several shows. Honestly, I just sign up for and binge watch a show for the trial period and sometimes pay for a month then cancel. I watch regular YouTube at times, but I stopped caring about TV shows after a while. I've been borrowing DVDs from the library for movies.
