Yawn's been spamming local Facebook groups (although obviously not the one that publicly declared its anti-MLM stance) with her magazine article.

I've reported the posts but couldn't see an option where you can explain why. They send to have various options you can click but scammy MLM lies and claims is not one of them

Yay! One post has gone. Result.

Another post, on a much smaller page, is still there but only had one like and zero comments.

Bet Yawn was expecting a bit more interaction than that

Oofff Castle got burned by a scathing comment telling her directly she's a lyingdodah... she took 20+ hours to even see it and remove. Burn Castle burnnn

If Yawn's cheque was that low it really shows how much things have declined.
The sub £10k cheques were what used to be the first cheques bots got - not for their (10th??) Cheques. It is hugely less than she has had previously .

On the weekend she was something like 11th in the UK. If she's sub 10k for Chairman's Bonus surely the writing is on the wall for FL Uk?

Anyone else think that the departure of the old Country Manager and the arrival of a new one is more to do with the floundering of FL in the UK rather than his retirement??

It would be very interesting to see Uber’s cheque.

The lies and contradictions are only clear if you’ve been following her and her type over time as we’ve been doing here. It’s frustrating to see people swallowing her fiction and knowing they may only start to question it after they’ve been damaged financially, socially and emotionally.

But if you've been 'running a successful business' for 14 years as she so often says, wouldn't her new recruits be confused as to why it's all been deleted from SM?

I don’t think there’s too many logical thinkers amongst that lot. A basic first move of a Google followed by a read of the government’s Companies House website would tell them all they need to know. And that’s before they’ve even looked at the various anti MLM sources.

NotNowNurse excited about offering life coaching alongside manifestation in a few weeks time.

Never understood why anyone would choose to be coached about their life by someone who appears to need it themselves.

I have an acquaintance who tried to be a life coach. She has only managed to hold down an admin role for less than a year in an office in an industrial estate her entire adult life so the punters were hardly flocking to gain the benefit of her wisdom.

Angrymum22 · 26/06/2023 10:22

You would have thought that Yawn, with all her “class and glamour” would have worn matching underwear for the before and after photos.
Todays story post is a little bizarre, a bit wide eyed and ever so slightly unnerved by the feedback she is getting. I think she has been called out by someone who knows that her weight loss has nothing to do with sobriety. Maybe they have threatened to out her and she has hurriedly posted a confused reply ahead of it.
To anyone new to Yawn watching the before photo never saw the light of day before this year. In fact I don’t remember any photos of her at 17st that were not heavily filtered. She always stood at the back in group chats photos.
Her narcissism is at peak at the moment.

Angrymum22 · 26/06/2023 10:23

Not sure why my phone added chats 😂

Weird Willy has presented another unfolding car crash in his life. On his Live tonight he starts off talking about his DS who has obviously done well at university and has some job offers and option immediately he graduates but is first going off travelling. What Weird Willy is describing is the benefits of training for something and then using those concrete skills to get a salaried job. He fails to see the irony of this.

He says that he is also full of enthusiasm again, having recently reached rock bottom and had to face that his coaching business wasn’t working and he’d had to declare bankruptcy as a result of his life choices from which he was only recently discharged. He had been forced to conclude that he must abandon his plan A and get a proper job. HOWEVER (and this is head in hands stuff) he has hit upon the idea that all his wisdom should not simply be given away in website form but should be made available to his grateful followers via an APP! This will change his fortunes around! The only fly in the ointment is that he can’t get credit and app development is expensive. He tells us he then remembered that while he was bankrupt his credit card company had sent him a new credit card, probably by mistake. It had languished in his drawer but it then occurred to him that he could just put the cost of the app development on the credit card. Nervously he presented the card to the app developer and it worked!! Weird Willy actually thinks this is positive 😳.

So there we have it; a bankrupt man who admits he is penniless thanks to the pursuit of his coaching sham, misuses a credit card to put himself in four figure debt so that an app can be created for a what is still a sham. And this is the man who will guide you to being a six figure earner and psychologically healthy.

SnoogyWoo · 27/06/2023 22:32

Wow that’s truly insane!

Sugarplum48 · 27/06/2023 23:15

And meanwhile yawn is still touting her get rich with me scheme...all cut from the same stained hessian cloth

Beetlekiwi · 28/06/2023 00:24

Looks like the planner business is now officially dissolved 👀

He really is delusional

how much has he put on the credit card? And now he knows it works how tempted will he be to use it again?
Does he realise how high the interest rate is?

interesting comment about not being able to afford thd petrol for his gas guzzler

Castle must be running out of funds, hiking the price of her course soon, lock it in before it goes up.

Such desperation.

£100k of content, I’d like to see that broken down please!

PhD bot is now selling gold plated jewellery. NotNurse is launching a mindset coaching business.

Where are you seeing PhD, she's been through so many accounts and name changes...
Is she still in Malaysia? Does this mean that she's flogging trinkets to tourists on the beach?

daffodilstreet · 28/06/2023 13:03

Phd went to Malaysia? What happened to Perth (Australia)?

daffodilstreet · 28/06/2023 13:03

Also can't find her, has she reinvented herself with yet another name?

It's on the insta account that she does her crap financial advice from. Verrry difficult to try and find a way for you to guess this, but the name in the bio is 'Dr FirstName MiddleName' if that helps. She's been using it in stories but not on the page which is interesting. Product is called Leoness Gold and seems to be based in Perth but she is in Malaysia. God knows.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 28/06/2023 13:59

Last I saw of her, she was posting from a very nondescript apartment block overlooking a shanty town in Malaysia.
She had previously fled to Mexico, presumably because the financial authorities in Oz started taking an interest in her unauthorised 'financial advice' activities. That or she never had the proper paperwork to settle and work in Oz, seeing as she was in a hurry to leave the U.K. as her tax & financial affairs were unravelling...

spanfan · 28/06/2023 16:28

I think she left Perth due to relationship breakdown. Understandable one level but probably convenient when having to make a slightly hasty exit.

She uses a nomad visa for working online whilst travelling. She says she's living her best authentic life, but she's doing all on her own, and seems to resort to wearing bikinis to show how financially stable she is .

It's do bizarre. I mean, lots of people are wealthy and they get to do it whilst keeping all their clothes on. Amazing.

NormalForNuneaton · 28/06/2023 17:19

I'd forgotten about PhD.

I got bored of her bull shit nonsensical wittering so stopped checking her posts.
