Cos every post is her going “me me me
me meme me me” and it’s boring af ? 😂

That would be a perfectly good reason - she us incredibly boring and self centred- but no

it was a while back, she had posted something typically show offy on FB and someone commented ‘yawn’. To be fair that comment was bang on 🤣

Yawn then decided to go after that poster (I seem to remember she even contacted their employer or something? Someone on here will remember)
Then she had a huge pity party about being bullied and even claimed she’d been asked to go into a school and do an assembly on online bullying

she usually wheels out the ‘I was in a car accident’ story around about now when she’s feeling defensive

Headband is on form today, another 'one to watch' she's had lunch with 🙄 and photos in her kids school for world book day, showing other children in the background. I wonder what the other parents just enjoying having breakfast with their children think 🤔

@Slw1984 As a long time lurker, poster and old associate of yawns I'm beyond delighted you've broken free of yawns toxic association. She's a vile individual with the personality of a slug sucking salt. You keep doing you. She's a sad loanly figure in bad fashion choices.

YouOKHun · 05/03/2026 18:03

@Slw1984honestly, no judgement here at all. This thread and the previous 90 threads are about the toxic nature of MLMs and how they mislead people. Those that stay in them longterm know they damage people and know they’re being misleading. The people who survive longterm in the MLM environment are those who are happy to be economical with the truth and are happy to misrepresent their own “success” for their own gain. This way of operating is a hard habit to break and some of them lose touch with reality and morality, even when they have been booted out of their MLM, as Yawn appears to have been.

Yawn continues to slog away, doing and saying anything that will get engagement. The reality is she has no skills and knowledge that transfer out of MLM so all she is left with is tricking people. Her problem is that people are not stupid; we know her bespoke recipes can be bought on Etsy, we know that she isn’t qualified as a PT, we know she knows nothing about running a business, we know she has a six figure loan not a six figure income. But we’ve been following MLM people/ex-MLMers for a long time so we know what’s coming with the likes of Yawn, but you wouldn’t have had the history to hand when you got involved.

Once you’re in business with her you find out and you probably know more about how she operates than any of us do. I’m sure Yawn talks a good talk and it takes a while to realise that all the “jealous haters” have a point and that there is no substance behind the image. I expect you also noticed that there is no money either. From your close up view do you think she can continue for long with the whole BuildADebt grift?

I feel a bit sorry for her current biz parter (known as Techie) who is probably damaging her reputation and finances by her involvement with Yawn but seems a bit dazzled by her. If Techie pulls the plug that’s Yawn’s website and her whole way of doing things complete shut down or at least severely curtailed. Yawn can’t do any of this on her own (as you know).

ticktock19 · 05/03/2026 17:08

Absolutely no judgment from me, I’m just sorry that she ‘monopolised’ your skills and knowledge and monetised your friendship. She’s so incredibly rude and dismissive about people and that’s a horrible (and repetitive) trait of hers. Glad you’ve got a thriving business away from her and I wish you every success for the future

Yes, it’s quite sad really, because when she wasn’t slagging people off she could actually be quite good fun at times. However, there were a few instances where she showed her true colours. The way she spoke to people when we were out running, and her attitude towards other people when it came to her dog, wasn’t great. Her dog isn’t trained, yet if other people’s dogs came anywhere near it, she would shout at them and have a go at the owners — even when their dogs weren’t doing anything wrong. In reality, it was her dog that was the problem.

I feel sorry for Techie as well, because at the moment she must be working a million hours a day with flames coming out of her laptop, and she’s getting paid next to nothing for it. But she’s completely in awe of yawn because Yawn has told her they’re going to make millions. However, from what I know, in the “Build Her” side of the business — which is just Yawn and Techie — they were actually making less money each than Yawn and I were making from the fitness side, which at the time was about £150 each.

She’s still relying heavily on her FL income, which is dwindling by the day because she decided not to grow it anymore after falling out with her upline. So she essentially cut her nose off to spite her face and started Lucky Girl instead.

She learned the basics of building a subscription-based model from another scam artist who showed her how to do it. But when it comes to running a real business, she doesn’t actually have the skills. As someone who has been self-employed for over 20 years, I would occasionally say things about business and she wouldn’t have a clue what I was talking about.

When it comes to fitness, she’s now doing her Level 4 PT qualification, basically to spite me — to try and prove that she can do what I do. But what she’s forgetting is that I have over 20 years of experience, and I also have a thriving business where I teach lots of people every week in person, in real time — and I’ve done that consistently for two decades.

I also felt strongly that all of the content I put out was original. I created it because I genuinely wanted to help real women learn the principles of nutrition, exercise, and mindset so they could make their own informed choices and not feel tied to following rigid plans.

Whereas her approach was very different. She preferred to copy and paste content from the internet with a bit of a “that’ll do” attitude, and she wanted to turn things into a quick weight-loss programme so she could get more people in and make more money.

That was never my intention. I was always happy for things to grow organically, with people joining for the right reasons and receiving real education.

But she wasn’t interested in that side of it at all. So I realised I had to get out in order to protect what was left of my credibility and professional reputation.

I didn’t want my method being turned into a quick weight-loss programme, because that has never been what I set out to create. I knew I had to step away before my method was changed and before my name and face were permanently attached to something I didn’t believe in.

I don’t want to be disingenuous, lie to people, or plagiarise other people’s content. I want to stay true to my principles, my values, and my mission — which is to be real about what I offer and genuinely help people.

Spongebobette · 05/03/2026 19:24

Well done for exiting BuildaBear with your dignity and reputation intact (enhanced, actually!)

did you have clients who joined 666 and then left when you parted ways with Yawn?

So the ‘make your first 1k’, which they are teaching people to do, is something they haven’t achieved themselves? 🤣

i very much doubt Yawn has much of an income from Forever Living, btw. She may be claiming she has but her downlines have disappeared and there’s no such thing as ‘legacy income’ in an MLM - you have to keep recruiting and selling

I can honestly say this has been golden to read. Well bloody done @Slw1984 . You have no idea how many times l wanted to contact you too tell you to ditch yawn. You've seriously dodged a missile. Let's hope techie sees the light. And as for that husband off hers!!! Do spill the tea on his involvement...

OhMyGiddyAunt · 06/03/2026 15:37

@Slw1984 I'm another one who is so pleased to read your posts on here ... you're clearly skilled and passionate about what you do and you've got morals ...unlike Yawn!

I commented earlier on this thread (before you popped up in person) to say how much I was loving your "work" (some top notch Insta story memes 👌 😂)

Crikeyalmighty · 06/03/2026 17:14

@Slw1984 if I can just say to you as you seem a decent person , there is nothing wrong with the concept of health, wellness and fitness by the way but we are talking initially and for a very long while more of a YouTube/tick tok kind of free delivery but making you ad supported revenue on top - you really ‘ can’ make good money this way if you market it well and get the numbers up substantially . Several thousand a month is doable at quite a modest level - Offer something good and people will share and market for you - I have a business and know that for £25 a month subscriptions people expect substantial content that they really really can’t get for free elsewhere OR expert advice ( think lawyer/HR ) etc OR you have a massive community that people want to be part of for whatever reason and gives them contacts etc - the problem was yawn had none of this. If anyone needed some coaching from people with proper 6 figure product and service businesses and not with MLM it was yawn .

Assistant headteacher. I found her when she was a speaker at Forever shite event. I can’t think of clues for her name. Will try to have a think!

YouOKHun · 06/03/2026 18:40

@dickiedavisthunderthighsFirst name is the same as actress Ms Powers, in its short-form with two f’s at the end (not ph). Second name is the same word as the name of a demolished castle beginning with D. The bricks from the demolished Castle were used to construct Flensborghus in what is now Germany.

YouOKHun · 06/03/2026 18:41

Also known (to me at least) as Rictus Grin Bot.

Yuck, I've just looked a Rictus's ticktok and shes off to the NEC Babyshow in May with a couple of other predatory bots to show "other mummies how they built a business at home on maternity leave". Utter Scamming lying Vultures.

She's blocked me on FB but I have commented on her Tiktok asking will she be lying to those new or expecting vunerable mothers that she earns 30K a month (I've attached screenshots where she is bullshitting from last time) so it won't stay up for long and I'll get blocked from there too. I'm also wondering to contact the NEC babyshow organisers as it's not on.

YouOKHun · 06/03/2026 19:58

@user1471446301 I’ve always found that organisers of these things want to know about predatory behaviour. Sometimes by explaining why it’s a problem sometimes galvanises action though not always, nothing to lose by bringing it to the organisers attention. It’s a shame Twitter is dead in the water as that used to be a good way of highlighting this kind of thing. I assume they are just going to wonder around trying to corner likely victims rather than have their own stand?

YouOKHun · 06/03/2026 20:10

@user1471446301 just had a look at TikTok and I see she is scamming at the Baby Show with Tractor Bot but not sure who the other one is. I loathe the fact she uses her former AHT status to legitimise and reassure victims. I imagine she wasn’t a safe pair of hands in a school. I bet they were happy to see the back of her (given that the FLP activities no doubt encroached on her AHT role) and even happier to see the back of her when they saw what she did next. Obviously someone who is very happy to lie on behalf of Forever Living who evidently give her full backing.

Yes Tractor Bot another ex teacher I don't know the other one either. Knowing FL they paid for a pop up and are charging for the privilege again and bring out that god awful aloe baby. I think I will contact the organisers who book the stalls and see what they say it's one of the those things I can't keep quiet about.

Going by how professional she is as a bizniss woman and the lies she spouts I should say she was totally unprofessional as an AHT and a loose cannon, the teaching profession is well rid.

I'm not convinced that tractor bot was a teacher.

When her previous career has been mentioned I've seen it described a bit more vaguely such as "worked in education" , implying she was a teacher but I suspect she was more likely a TA or similar.

YouOKHun · 06/03/2026 21:56

According to LinkedIn she did a degree in education and became a Pastoral Mentor for 5 years, no teaching role but probably started botting while she was in the pastoral role as a school is too good an opportunity to miss. Of course, she uses vague language to let people assume she was a teacher and no doubt never clarifies what her role was.

Ah ok thank you I presumed she was a teacher or rather in true bot fashion she gave that impression

@Slw1984

Well done for walking away as soon as you saw what was happening. Lucky escape!

Loving the inside info.

Wishing you all the best in continuing your own business which could have dissolved in tatters if you had remained on board with Yawn.

I really hope Techie sees the light soon. I feel sorry for her and wonder if shes questioning her own position behind the scenes. In any case their 'friendship' will soon be over, just like all the hundreds of others who have gone before.

definitelynotabot · 07/03/2026 08:04

@Slw1984 another congrats! You really have had a lucky escape. Well, it isn't luck, it was judgement: you saw through the smoke and mirrors and lies and you took action.

I hope Techie sees the light soon, too.
