Honestly I do see her as another MLM victim. How can you not?

Because she is a self serving narcissist with no morals whatsoever.

Wintersgirl · 12/01/2025 11:47

Yawn was a victim but there comes a point when they stop being the victim because they're willing to be ruthless and appoint the same tactics to snare vulnerable people, Nurse got a free pass on here for a long time because she was 'vulnerable' but she's shown us many times that she'd do anything to recruit someone, so she stopped being a victim at that point

OhMyGiddyAunt · 12/01/2025 11:56

Talking of Nurse...she's starting up a Manifesting WhatsApp group after her pilot one. It'll be a small group no shit Sherlock ....price TBC!

Now is this because she's paid for Yawn's Unlucky Girl group and thought "I can do that"? Whatever her reason I'm assuming she's no longer paying to be in Yawn's dwindling club

Wintersgirl · 12/01/2025 11:58

Nurse is comedy gold, it's tragic really...

I stayed up into the early hours reading this one night. I think this was the final catalyst into me leaving MLM. Before I was never quite sure if I just wasn’t working hard enough.

Yes, those who don't succeed in MLM are convinced by the script from their uplines that they just didn't want it enough.

A very similar script to the Manifesting scam - if it doesn't work, it's your fault for not wanting it enough.

Bizarre and delusional post from Homeschool… is Jane Smith on here by any chance?

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 12/01/2025 14:13

Actually laughed at loud at nurse launching accountability coaching 🤣

Wonder how she's getting on with couch to 5k and her book!

I suspect Nurse is sitting on one of the aforementioned objects and colouring in the other @MaybeItsJustTimeToStop 😉

It’s always slightly in the future with her isn’t it - accountability coaching dating in March. Why not next week?

It’s almost as though the build up and hyping of her new business idea is what she enjoys. The actual work or finding clients never actually happens

Honestly I find it hard to feel sorry for Yawn.

She knows FL has been on the decline for at least 5/6 years but until her fall out with the "mean girls", she was actively trying to recruit people with blatant lies about how much money they could make, whilst no doubt encouraging her downline to do the same. Although she doesn't seem to be recruiting anymore, she is still trying to sell overpriced aloe gloop to anyone who is daft enough to buy it.

Her unlucky girl club and coaching is based on similar lies - that if you follow her teachings, you will have a fantastic lifestyle and find love etc etc.

Despite what Yawn says none of this is for the benefit of anyone else, she is just trying to make money to fill the black hole that is her bank account!

Good point, sometimes I forget the lies she’s told.

DeliaDeetz · 12/01/2025 20:23

Yawn has announced her next podcast guest....yes it's another one of her FL downlines!! 😂

Spongebobette · 12/01/2025 20:29

I spotted that!!

The engagement for her new club is giving me secondhand embarrassment. On the ‘why join’ post there’s not even one like.

YouOKHun · 12/01/2025 22:07

@DeliaDeetz the podcast guest who is ... the downline, the coachee, an Unlucky Club member, a coach herself, a gullible follower. One thing is for certain, the tiny audience will already know her story from chatting at FLP HQ/on zoom in the diamond club/during previous Unlucky Club circular discussions and now, much like Scotbot before her and no doubt Headband next, she gets to repeat the same old hard times to good times story on a "podcast". Barrel scraping indeed.

While we are on the subject of the same old guff, for all Uber's arguably slicker delivery of the mindset stuff she also has chronically low interest in her coaching posts. I had a look at Uber's Insta thinking that might be where the adoring audience is lurking but nothing to see there. While I was there I noticed that Uber is still sharing pics of her seven and six figure yoga mat cheques. I thought they weren't meant to be sharing them anymore? I'm sure Uber's Insta stories is where potential bots look and someone could well come away with the impression that it's possible to get a $1m cheque in 2025 if they simply want it and try hard enough.

Nail on the head. She loves the anticipation and the idea that the 'new thing' might make her fortune. Lots of hype and planning and wide eyed raised eyebrow lives prior to the 'launch'. When it's crickets, or when she recognises that some hard work might be needed and this venture is going the way of others she totally loses interest. She seems to think that a random Facebook page (that she then ditches for Instagram, which she then ditches for you tube and tik tok for 3 days) where she shows her workings ('I'm thinking tik tok will get me better clients') will make her millions

'Working on her business' has always seemed to extend as far as a new note book and some highlighters nursing (pun unintentional) a coffee in Costa with no discernible outcome.

As for an accountability coach...... nothing could be more laughable. I could list 19 things she's promised that haven't materialised.

She did post begging for people to be part of the podcast and announcing it's an unpaid gig. So if I was paying her £22 I would wonder what my £22 is spent on except for Yawns ridiculous wardrobe and her "health shake". I'd accept that she has to be paid but I'd also expect that some of the £22 is being reinvested in the business to pay for guest speakers and other material

Sugarplum48 · 13/01/2025 08:21

Let's hope that people will see it for what it is, a shambles of a scam providing little to nothing for £22. I've said it before, if you are stupid enough to pay someone your hard earned money for the utter tripe she posts then more fool you.

Angrymum22 · 13/01/2025 08:43

Bloody hell, just seen the broken boiler post by Yawn. It’s been -6 over the weekend in Yawnsville. I’d be seriously worried about frozen pipes if they have had no heating for the last few days in a 400yr old.
If the pipework in the boiler freezes up then it will definitely be condemned.

Wintersgirl · 13/01/2025 09:21

She says it breaks down every Winter, can she not join the dots? Her boiler won't get used as much the rest of the year so when she does need it in the Winter it doesn't work! A new boiler is needed and they're not cheap, we had ours done 2 years ago and it's blinking expensive.

HouseofHolbein · 13/01/2025 09:24

Yeah I'm not a millionaire businesswoman but I invest in a service for my boiler every autumn before I need to rely on it. My gas man properly checks it over we hand over £70 and know that all is good for the winter 😊

YouOKHun · 13/01/2025 10:42

She needs to find c.£3-4k quick. I live in a very old house and have been in the position Yawn's in where the boiler regularly goes wrong partly because the whole system is decrepit. It's miserable and it's a sign that it's new boiler time. Usually there are only certain plumbers brave enough to tackle the job because everything is non standard and difficult to get at, and that means that the whole thing is more expensive.

How many C9s do you need to sell to cobble together £3-4k? If 200 people sign up to the Unlucky Club today that will almost cover it.

Mielabel · 13/01/2025 10:50

She’s asking for guidance when meditating. Seems to have imagined a butterfly so is grateful for the reassurance she’s on the right path.

Not into woo but surely a butterfly would be a symbol to change/transform rather than continue plodding on. If it happened to me I’d think some huge shift was going to (or should) happen.

Regardless - if she’s asking for guidance and so grateful for the reassurance she posts about it, you know there’s a lot of doubt going on.

YouOKHun · 13/01/2025 11:21

She needs to manifest a butterfly with a tool kit and CORGI certification.
