All the best, mom. Claiming to suffer from anxiety when one doesn't is just medical term-shopping for pats on the back and sympathy. I wish those who actually suffer from it could just go to some fancy retreat in the desert for a week and be cured. I hope you got your appointment and new meds! *hugs*

DH and I *JUST* got back from a fancy 9 days on an island together and turns out, my anxiety& panic attacks came with me. Maybe it was being on a beach and not being in the desert that kept me from being cured. Its just so frustrating with her. She is not good for my mental health.

Yeah, it's a well-known fact in the science community that panic is related to humidity levels. You can't cure it except if you go a properly arid place, preferably a fancy retreat (it really helps). I hope you had a lovely time on your holiday nonetheless. And took loads of pretty pictures for the album. Becky and her never-ending IG stories can fook right off. Or perhaps she has a code to take 15% off your anxiety levels?

Ok, so we know she has to be reading here. Becky, PLEASE stop with the anxiety thing!! You had people jump on you and something clicked in you but I highly doubt that it was the full blown anxiety attack that you state it was. Now you are talking about your anxiety dreams due to your hair. Your. hair. Just stop. As a person actually diagnosed with anxiety issues and meds, you are the person that gives the rest of the world the rolling eyes when I bring up how the crowds are closing in on me and the fight or flight kicks in. When I wake up in the morning with my chest already fOeeling tight and I can barely make it through the day to crawl home. When my DH asks me how he can help and I tell him nothing. Because nothing can help. I don't even know what is causing it. It is just there. The chaos of life gets so that I have to put on noise cancelling earphones and listen to music so that I don't rip someone's head off or just stand there and scream. So please just stop. There, I said it. Now we will see when this pops back up in her stories. I legit have to ignore Becky these days. My anxiety is maxed out and it has nothing to do with poor decisions like she has and I just cannot with this b!tch. I told DH she makes me homicidal (not really, but you know...) when I hear her whine about her anxiety. Nevermind there are people really struggling to get out of bed daily. I seriously spent hours today sitting in my dr office, waiting for them to work me in so I could get different meds and could not wait another month for an appointment. And the reality is, my drs office makes me panic and yet there I was. I seriously just cannot watch/listen/support her. She has no freaking clue but wants to be an know it all about it. Sorry for my soapbox. She just has no clue and I truly hope she never really does. Because I would not wish this on anyone. I'm sorry. I hope it worked out today at your dr and I hope you're feeling better soon. Know you aren't alone.

The level of anger I have towards her and a few others in the influencer world is beyond unhealthy. I walk a fine line of needing to vent here and having to step away from the internet completely. Right now the Shannon bird 911 thing is too much. Woman can’t get her shit together to get formula for her newborn, calls 911, suddenly has time for a world tour with the infant for new shows. What a moron.

Had to go read that 911 story. 😬
My husband is a first responder and the stories are endless. “Life threatening” emergency has a very broad interpretation lol. I guess people aren’t aware there is a non-emergency number they can call instead.

A time waster, a community/friend eroder, a garbage pit of everyone is now an authority-on-everything. That's not even getting into how it's set up to be one big data farm where the users are the marketable, saleable product. I've never touched it and I never will. You'll be happier without it in your life, I can guarantee. Congrats on choosing the red pill!

I am curious what you all this about Centsofstyle blasting her dd's admit over IG. That lady went psycho crazy on a few followers who were just truly curious why she would post all that she did and if it was her story to tell...

What is it with these Mormon "influencers" sharing such private family info?!
I mean I get it:
Head pats Whoah is me I'm just like you Click bait Relatable
But why do BH and this lady and Kimmy from She's in her apron and Ruby and all the others post such private, personal info and then get upset when they are called out on it?!
She is a "good friend" of BHs. 'Nough said.
She went off that this isn't different than hiding your kids cancer. 😶

Man I had a lot of catching up to do. BH just gets crazier by the day.
And as a human with clinical ocd, anxiety, and ptsd BHs and these other Mormon IGers piss me off.

She wants people to leave 5 star reviews on iTunes about the podcast and is going to choose some people to win $100 gift cards to Shine and some pouches from a company called Ryla. Of course she mentions her promo code to save money on both sites.... so even with giving away a gift card she'll still get a kickback.

Asking for 5 star reviews in exchange for a chance to win a gift card is so disingenuous... it's one thing to ask people to rate the podcast for a chance to win, but requiring it to be a 5 star review? How many of those will be from people who never even listened to the podcast!?
How is this any different from buying likes?

Its not and reeks of despiration. Not enough pats on the head and not enough family to give her good reviews so she needs to "buy" them.

Her IG followers are falling again too. I expect she'll be buying some of those in the next few days. She seems to do that from time to time and will get a big bump. And then it starts down again as people unfollow. socialblade.com/instagram/user/beckyhigginsllc

It seems she's clinging onto any bit of attention that she can get. I almost feel bad, actually. But this is what happens when you go nuclear on your company and drop it all for a podcast that no one asked for :/

But this is what happens when you go nuclear on your company and drop it all for a podcast that no one asked for :/ I feel like she is going in reverse. Most IG influencers start there cuz it is easy access and hope to build a brand, then a company. She build a brand and company and then flushed it down the toilet to be an IG influencer. IMO it shows that while she worked hard (don't mind giving credit where credit is due), it was a hobby business and when it started to flounder it was easier to just give it up since their livelyhood wasn't bound to it than keep it a live in any sense from a financial POV. She's no longer a scrapbooker so why spend her hobby time on scrapbooking? Who cares that I have a scrapbooking businesses and brand? Let's shift to something completely unrelated cuz I'm bored. I completely understand a small business needing to shift but the way she did it was a total slap in the face to all those that supported her brand. Stacy Julian shifted several years ago and while it was hard for her supporters it was a much better transition.

And I had to look up the "Shannon Bird 911 call" thing- that woman is SOOOO privileged, it's nauseating! I *knew* she had to be from Utah the minute I saw her picture and read her story about 'truly being in crisis, blah blah blah...' No, lady, a CRISIS is when you and your kids are living in your car because your ex-husband tried to kill you. THAT is a crisis. Having to schlep to Walmart with all your kids in tow to buy something you've run out of is NOT a crisis. Hell, the fact that she even HAS a car she could go to Walmart in, to begin with, makes it sooooo NOT a crisis!!

Or just a circle of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints congratulating each other as they shill each others' brands? "We decided this was a FANTASTIC week to spread some cheer ... lift some spirits ... and do a GIVEAWAY!! 🙌🏻 . The prizes?? GENEROUS gift cards to @shinecosmetics + @beddysbeds + @rad_swim ... a free seat in my online course (Photo Tips + Workflow) ... product from @rylapack ... aaaannd even the next couple of Simple Notebooks that we haven’t even shown you guys yet!!"

Are you able to delete reviews from iTunes as the content creator like you can on social media? I'm surprised she'd set herself up for potential low reviews.

Well, I was anxious today but I DID NOT SUFFER AN ANXIETY ATTACK! I was anxious because I spent the day in ICU with my beloved mama. I got panicked when I got the call she was in the ambulance and trying to figure out where she was headed, how I could get to her. My watch's heartrate alert even went off. But guess what? I don't suffer from anxiety, I just got really, really worried all of a sudden because of some really, really worrying news. That happens. Life isn't a basket of peaches and roses and kittens every day (but I could do with one right now). Nuance. Also, I totes thought of you ladies because: 1. Holy shit, a night and day in ICU + an extra day in a normal (large, individual #fancy) room is going to cost my mother nothing (except the TV fee ). I can't imagine what this would've cost an American with a not-so-great health insurance/no health insurance. 2. As soon as I learned they were happy with the results of the angiography and would be transferring her to a regular room soon, I snapped photos. Heck yeah. That's when I knew I was fine again. My mother's going to kill me over these with her naked back and booty in that hospital gown... TL;DR - being anxious because of a stressor (like voluntary foreclosure) ≠ suffering from anxiety disorder

Hell, the fact that she even HAS a car she could go to Walmart in, to begin with, makes it sooooo NOT a crisis!! She is a friend of BH and is who BH mentioned in her stories the other day. Anyways her dd was readmitted for psychiatric care after just being released. She has shared some private info (well to me anyways, not according to social media standards) about her dd's mental illness. So other questioned her on that and said isn't that her dd's story to tell? Shouldn't that be kept private? Ect. Well she went off on her IG stories saying that that is what is wrong with mental health stigmas, how is sharing this any different that one sharing their kids cancer story. She completely missed the mark. It isn't different but somethings should be held back for the privacy of your child. It is HER personal story. Nothing wrong with mom/dad sharing their perspective ya know. But even sharing how their child affects them can do damage to that child. Just another mom oversharing. Keeping things private to those in your IRL inner circle is different than blasting it to strangers. And keeping it private doeant mean you are adding to the stigma of mental health issues. It just means you are truly protecting your child. 🤷♀️

Ugh, 'mommy bloggers'.
I don't follow any of them, but they bleed over into other areas of the internet. Your kids are not a sideshow. Kids should not be monetized or used to gain exposure. There are severe psychological traumas that come with putting kids in the public eye, especially for profit. It used to be confined to child actors and musical acts, but now it's overflowing into the general population when parents use their kids as content for their blogs, instas and YouTube channels. Without their consent, because how the hell can you get consent from a being that's relying on you for everything related to its existence? Especially young kids, who don't and cannot understand the implications of what their parents are doing to them.
The internet never forgets.
