You become a long term bot because you have no sense.

Nurse is having a Black Friday sale - 50% off coaching courses!

SnoogyWoo · 05/11/2023 10:56

Wow, sign me up. Honestly a sale for coaching would put me off! Not a good look.

MarchXX · 05/11/2023 11:29

Nurse's coaching course, does this mean she is teaching it? It's not clear.

Anyway, I saw her name had come up as she had 'liked' one of Yawn's insta stories Hmm. That, and her mention of fl face products makes me think she is considering diving right back in to fl again (due to zero interest in her woowoo coaching business).

I reckon a course in writing, spelling and grammar would be an excellent use of Nurse's time and money. That or a competent proof reader.

I am also confused about Castle being abroad for (she says in her live) 12 months. I thought you had to spend xx number of months a year in your own country within a year. Coming back to the UK for winter sounds very odd, no matter how she spins it. It will be interesting to see her next move and excuse. Like you all, I feel very sorry for her kids, yet again being uprooted from new friendships, school, routines etc. Its all coming apart, isn't it? We see the gloss she portrays but even that gloss is tarnished. The truth must be dire.

Castle’s homecoming will be interesting. She HAS to make it look like a choice and once back in her AirheadBnB her life has got to look as glossy as possible; it can’t look like there is any belt tightening or worst still failure - the success trajectory must always appear to be rocketing upwards.

I notice there isn’t quite so much money in the Bank of Mum & Dad as there was and I wonder if that means something. What if her parents won’t pay for the older turret to go to private school and the second turret to follow as well? Not slotting back in to an expensive school will be a tricky one to handle. No doubt that will matter more to her than the actual happiness and stability of the older turret. I don’t mind watching Castle crash and burn as a result of all her lies but I wish her children didn’t have to pay the price. Perhaps they’re better off with grandparents providing a bit of stability from the shed at the bottom of the garden they pay for and maintain?

Wintersgirl · 05/11/2023 14:33

How can Castle fuck up so spectacularly is beyond me, she's been handed mountains of cash either from FL (nearly 1 million over the years) or bank of Mum and Dad and somehow has managed to piss the lot up the wall, all she had to do was buy a normal-ish house and put the remainder in the bank to sit and grow interest, it's really not that difficult, but then if you're used to everything being handed to you on a plate I suppose you don't learn the value of things..

YouOKHun · 05/11/2023 15:25

well that would have been sensible @Wintersgirl but unfortunately it’s not very Law of Attraction! It’s a requirement that the Castles of this world consistently piss somebody else’s their money up against the wall very publicly in a display of wealth whether they’ve actually got money or not. As success in MLM is about lucky timing and the ability to set aside their moral compass to recruit anyone, and not about commercial acumen, financial literacy, good sense or intelligence what you are very sensibly suggesting is difficult, in fact it’s almost impossible!

YouOKHun · 05/11/2023 16:06

@MarchXX I think she is selling it. she has paid her money to a scheme coaching academy in exchange for a non-viable product training as a life coach and as it is inevitably impossible to sell on tricky to find people who want to invest in their own well-being, she is trying to desperately recruit others in the hope of clawing back some money as the scheme rewards recruitment make it more affordable so her friends don’t have to miss out.

I can’t help thinking it sounds a bit pyramiddy!

Meanwhile Nurse’s coach thinks all her Christmases have come at once, especially if Nurse is the gateway to similarly gullible friends.

meatbaseddessert · 05/11/2023 18:19

I watched the 'free Masterclass' from NNNs coaching guru (who is barely watchable). It's straight from the MLM playbook and smacks of those 'earn 7 figures in 6 months by doing x but to learn the secrets spend £xx thousands on this training....oh and spaces are limited you have 6 hours to decide'. I'm now being bombarded by emails encouraging me to sign up.
Strangely enough, they too are having a 50% off Black Friday sale. So she's now selling their coaching course?!

Spongebobette · 05/11/2023 18:37

Oh she’s in a proper pyramid scheme then

YouOKHun · 05/11/2023 19:13

@meatbaseddessert thanks for taking one for the team; it sounds a painful bit of viewing. Nurse isn’t the sharpest knife is she? It seems she can’t see the parallels between the coaching scam and the aloe vera scam; if only she would plot her bank balance along side her activity levels in these various “opportunities”. She should see strong negative correlation between the size of her bank balance and the amount of time and effort she puts into her coaching training and business, but she won’t because she’s too deeply marinaded in silly woo and too isolated to stand back from the lovebombing and see it for what it is.

SpecSavers has been circling around Nurse since the summer. Yawn has rinsed all she can be bothered to rinse out of Nurse so she’s been given to Specsaver to see if there is a bit of that nice NHS pay left that could be Spacsaver’s for the taking…and it looks like there is.

YouOKHun · 05/11/2023 19:34

Something else I’ve noticed about Nurse/Specsaver. A couple of months ago I took a record of all interactions on Nurse’s posts and lives, there weren’t many and all interactions were from a very small group of about nine people. The same names kept popping up. Almost all those people have stopped interacting with Nurse which is why she has virtually no interaction at all, but on taking a closer look I see they are now following and liking most of Specsaver’s posts and have clearly switched their allegiance. So it seems that Nurse has had what little following she had swiped away by SS. Quelle surprise.

Spongebobette · 05/11/2023 19:47

Wow it’s not like Specsaver has anything of interest on her pages!

SnoogyWoo · 06/11/2023 03:14

Where do you watch the free masterclass?

meatbaseddessert · 06/11/2023 04:59

SnoogyWoo · 06/11/2023 03:14

Where do you watch the free masterclass?

Think of a word that means 'a small group of people that are close knit and do not readily allow others to join them'

The website is The[word]academy.com. There a link to the masterclass

Jantlet · 06/11/2023 06:25

Good grief - I’ve just had a look at it. A more obvious pile of shite I have yet to see.

Spongebobette · 06/11/2023 07:44

At least the disclaimer in the fine print is honest:

There is no guarantee that you will make any income at all

Spongebobette · 06/11/2023 07:45

It seems that Nurse is part of another culty group, then, where she gets the affirmation and sense of belonging that she craves

Spongebobette · 06/11/2023 08:02

In other news, Weird Willy has discovered a big important sounding word - and guess what, it’s another reason you should go to him for help to stop being a people pleaser

Contraryjane · 06/11/2023 11:09

Yawn’s latest self centred drone is very telling.
We mustn’t “panic” if we eat a few extra calories when unwell. It won’t make us fat.
Clearly she doesn’t enjoy her rabbit food as much as she claims to.

PieonaBarm · 06/11/2023 12:34

Castle being the ultimate professional CEO and dancing like she's been dropping acid to promote Scamversity on Insta. Clearly been taking marketing advice off Bruv, the Dean of Crayons, another ultimate professional in his field.

You can just see Jeff Bezos doing that 🙄

Spongebobette · 06/11/2023 14:09

I feel entirely confident in saying that EVERY SINGLE QUESTION that Nurse has answered in her AMA was written by herself

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 06/11/2023 14:22

Oh Nurse and her questions. So her plan is to run her own coaching course, even though she hasn't finished her own yet and is advertising someone else's, also got another little nhs dig in, they were so similar to the questions a few weeks ago too!

Spongebobette · 06/11/2023 14:28

They are so transparently what she wanted to be asked

about her son
about her IVF

did no one ask ‘how many paying clients do you currently have?’

Ooowhatshappeningnow · 06/11/2023 14:37

Any clues on specsaver? I think she is the only one I don’t know
