Yawn posted on Insta about using surgery to loose weight and then doing it naturally. There's a reply on it that's just laughing emojis. If you click through on that person she's an FL Bot (albeit in the US I think) but even her "colleagues" are taking the mick out of her!

She implied at one point it was a mutual split but it looks like he left her for someone else. I’ve seen some of her interactions over the years with downlines in texts and messages and she is very abrupt, pushy, slightly threatening and very single minded and as we know, she’s very happy to lie to the minions. Who knows what goes on in someone else’s relationship but I can imagine Uber Comes First and she’s hard to live with. Perhaps he didn’t want her edited highlights all over social media which usually involved pictures of him slogging away doing up White Elephant House by the Sea.

Norma27 · 08/11/2023 10:21

I’ve said before I used to know Uber, and she has always been pushy and put herself first.
I do know she does have friends though she has had for over 30 years and so must have good points I missed!

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 08/11/2023 15:48

Yawns latest reel makes it all sound exhausting, literally the amount of effort to sell stuff sounds way more tiring than my actual job. Sending dear neighbour letter, flyers, social media, all in the hope of someone buying your gloom. 14 years if doing that sounds really thankless. The PBM is the same, all these training calls and dropping peoples orders off, it doesn't even sound appealing!

So Nurse has revamped and rebranded her coaching business.

WTF ... she hasn't even "qualified" or got any proper paying clients and she's already rebranding.

She'll be re-organising her office space (again) next

YouOKHun · 08/11/2023 17:43

@NormalForNuneaton she’s rebranded her business but for continuity’s sake she has kept the usual spelling and grammatical errors. It’s all a desperate attempt to sell the coaching course she has to pay for, she needs downlines to move her off the bottom of the coaching pyramid clients asap.

A glimpse into Nurse’s world - a morning post saying she’s going to spend the whole day ‘working’ on her business
Followed by 2 posts about how she’s been clearing out a cupboard and sorting out Xmas decs

It's all playing at being a business owner isn't it?
The excitement at 'working' from a coffee shop because she thinks that's what successful 'business people' do.
I'll tell you what successful business people don't do. Go on about how they slept, rant about the NHS, whinge about the local mechanics or talk about the food shop on social media. They don't clean out a cupboard half way through the day.
It's clear that 'working on my business' does not include actual paying clients because let's face it you can't do a private coaching call from Costa.

spanfan · 08/11/2023 21:27

I'll be amazed if any of her weeks work has earned her a penny. More likely made a loss.

Spongebobette · 09/11/2023 09:54

OK who has been making less than positive comments/ sending tricky questions/ not being super supportive of Nurse’s ‘business’??

Angrymum22 · 09/11/2023 15:18

Yawn has had zero engagement with her last 2 TicToks. Is she yesterdays newspaper story already.
Her click bait has become tedious and repetitive. Did you know she’s lost 6stone and given up drinking? No I didn’t either.
Is it possible that she only paid for a months worth of followers?

YouOKHun · 09/11/2023 15:59

I haven’t looked at TikTok but on FB Yawn is certainly struggling with engagement on posts where she is talking about her weight loss - marked lack of interest. The post about the podcast with the link has been up a week and has only garnered 7 likes and two comments - that is very telling because it should have been a real coup for her. Posts about her dog have much more engagement.

Her weight loss journey was of interest to [some] people while it was happening, the before and after photos where of interest to some people at the time but the ongoing saga of someone weighing a few pounds more and eating a bit less to compensate is what a lot of us do anyway. It’s not an achievement as such and it’s not very interesting. It’s the dietary equivalent of watching paint dry. She really can’t get any more mileage out of it now. So she doesn’t drink anymore allegedly? And? Again, smugness that alienates those with alcohol problems and not of interest to those who don’t have problems with alcohol; unlikely to be a rich recruiting ground.

The best hope she’s got of getting engagement is to put 3 stone on and bask in the feedback from hard luck sympathy posts; “awww Hun, we love u even when you eat McDonalds in the shower”. Staying the same weight is not a spectator sport.

People losing interest now is a right fuck up because she needs the “6 stone” story in the new year to flog that stuff that had very little to do with her weight loss. What terrible timing. And what next? The weight loss thing has been fuelling everything but if people have lost interest what else can she use as a recruitment tool? A broken down Rangey and pictures of women trying to kill themselves on bicycles in the dark? Cornering dog walkers who are then all forced to form a WhatsApp group with a secret location for future walks so that they can stroll knowing the only shit they’ll have to deal with is courtesy of their dog? Photos of some stranger’s Spanish villa with assurances she will be living the dream at some point in the future?

What’s Spanish for “I’ve run out of road and I’m beginning to panic”?

Spongebobette · 09/11/2023 16:54

I predict that the Next Big Thing she’ll use for engagement is a tummy tuck, paid for by Mr Yawn’s work as a freelance CAD monkey; she’ll do a big build up and a follow my journey

NormalForNuneaton · 09/11/2023 17:56

In the meantime she'll carry on with her "2 hour woodland walks" which basically must mean she walks round in endless circles because the "woodland" is basically a small community wood on the edge of the city, popular with dog walkers and Mums of pre-schoolers. It's certainly not worthy of a 2 hour walk!

My guess is that she walks round and round using the dog to engage people in conversations with a view to selling and recruiting.

Sugarplum48 · 09/11/2023 18:07

I can offer yawn a job!! It's not paid but she can talk to my elderly volunteer ladies. They love to talk about any old site. She'll get a bit of engagement that way!!

YouOKHun · 09/11/2023 18:23

@Sugarplum48 what have your volunteer ladies done to deserve that?!

Sugarplum48 · 09/11/2023 22:50

@YouOKHun l wouldn't actually do it to them. I left my finance job and went into charity work as paid staff managing voluntary staff, all elderly so you'll get my new line of work but my god they are ladies that talk and love drama so it would suit yawn. I just can't pay her so no good!!!!

PieonaBarm · 10/11/2023 11:07

@Sugarplum48 I would hazard a guess that your ladies are savvy and worldly enough to know that whatever drivel Yawn spouts is an utter load of 🐂 💩. My MIL for one would take great delight in winding her up something rotten!!

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 10/11/2023 12:49

Yawns been listening, she wore a bright pink coat for last mights bike ride instead of black. Nurse is having a me day, lol.

YouOKHun · 10/11/2023 12:57

Castle says she can’t wait to return to the UK so she can be with her family and support them (shouldn’t that be the other way round?). She’s looking forward to “a beautiful Christmas” in her house so I hope the senior Castles are braced for expensive Christmas shopping trips as well as funding the new planner business (if that hasn’t already been shelved).

Spongebobette · 10/11/2023 13:46

Oh Nurse
having a ‘me day’ because every other day isn’t a me day for her 🙄

DeliaDeetz · 10/11/2023 14:15

So Nurse needs a me day....I wonder how she would cope if she actually had a diary full of client appointments!

fromdownwest · 10/11/2023 14:47

I'd love a me day, sadly I have actual clients, that need actual work done.

Castle - It is so transparent that she could not cope with actually being a mum, and needs the Grand Parents to do all her hard work.

A year ago, it was all about Spain being the best thing for the family, now the UK. She is in a massive spiral, and its getting messier by the day.

Angrymum22 · 10/11/2023 16:06

Just watching Netflix “Escaping Twin Flames” it was flagged up by feminism thread.
It is an MLM coaching cult. Members pay $222 a month to be coached on how to find true love.
Members are encouraged to become coaches. The apex couple have over 35000 members world wide signed up ( over $90 million in revenue 😲)
Members are encouraged to stalk and coerce their perceived “twin flame” /soul mate. Obviously the membership is predominantly vulnerable women, so they also started to brainwash members to transition to provide more men for “twinning”. It’s pretty extreme but it does demonstrate many MLM bullying tactics within the coaching methods.
I wonder how much of this goes on in FL.
And is this a similar cult that Nurse has been caught up in.

Spongebobette · 10/11/2023 16:08

Oh I watched that, it’s so weird and scary and WHAT a couple of scam artists!
