Karma is a bitch and one day all her nastiness and passive aggressiveness will be repaid. It sounds as though scrapbooking’s big names already no longer want to be associated with HER podcast (given the I and Me in the recent missive, I am guessing Tiffany is in a subordinate position now). How long before the sheeple get bored paying to listen tto the ramblings of a non-scrapping non-entity?

She was probably counting on word of mouth to grow her listenership for her. I'm not sure how it would otherwise. They said the podcast would be heavily marketed when it went subscription based but it hasn't been. She just put her classes up for sale for the first time ever. Aside from Tiffany she really seems to cycle thru people. It's interesting because you can see who people follow on Instagram and she doesn't follow Jen Schow, Tracey Fox, or Victoria Marie anymore....all were guests or one of her "besties" at one point. I don't remember if Victoria Marie promoted being on the SG podcast but she did promote being on the Scrapbook Your Way podcast. Is she still affiliated with the rest girl? They haven't done a podcast since December. I think her tag line should change from Go & Be Crafty to What have you done for me lately. She said in this last episode that she lives “a very undisciplined life”. It made me snort. The body count is rising. Her saying she lives an undisciplined life is exactly what everyone has been saying. She has no boundaries. No thought for anyone else. It’s ‘Tracie, Tracie, Tracie’ always.

I remember that someone on Two Peas was invited to do something—advertise, maybe?—with her, but declined with a wonderful response. Does anyone else remember that?

I went back and looked at her post and I assume it received over 200 likes because nobody actually read what she wrote just liked the quote. But still. I really want to tag Heidi Swapp and ask her if she actually read the bullshit Tracie posted.

She said in this last episode that she lives “a very undisciplined life”. Is that like 'free range children' and 'all natural'? (I approve of kids getting to be kids, but I've met one too many parents who use the 'free range' excuse as license to not supervise their hellspawn precious little angels. And 'natural' ≠ safe, Karen, otherwise we could all eat arsenic and live...) I think it means she’s still living like a spoiled, bratty child. Third bowl of ice cream? Ok! Sleep until 2:00pm? Ok! Insufficient insurance to cover a known and serious medical condition? No problem! Mama spoiled her and she’s still living like that and talks over people and blames others when things go wrong or the finger is pointed at her. And since in her mind she can never be wrong she can’t see why other women don’t want to support her. I don’t think she’s capable of honest self reflection.

Probably won't make a difference, but at least I tried before I unfollow her.

She is like a gift that just keeps giving. First thing that popped into my mind after reading that.. She is the herpes of the scrapbooking world.... I feel sorry for the people that choose to deal with that in real life....like family and friends...if there are any left...not sure she needs them tho...

Business people who don't want to alienate people are going to give political dance style answers. She (or whoever handles her account) probably figured that would be enough of an 'agree to disagree' type answer to pacify you. If you were to reply that you disagreed, I would bet they either wouldn't reply or would give more non-answer responses.

Disappointing but not surprising. We all make our choices. I don’t follow TC so get my info here which then prompts me to go click over to see what’s going on. I’ve decided not follow those who decide to prop up that loser. We all make our choices. Now Becky, she’s the gift that keeps on giving, and I’m a sucker for new home building and decorating. So I’m not giving up on her yet.

Tracie really missed what International Women's Day about. Tracie, International Women's Day is not International Be A Bitch Day or I Am The Only Woman In the World Who Matter's Day. lisacharlotte I laughed about how you wrote people write stupid, insensitive, or just pain wrong things. Do it again in the future.... I think us 2Peas Girls are famed for that, ROFL! We love it too. We own it and we love each other. We admit when we are wrong. We support each other, etc, etc.. Oh you know what that reminds me of "International Women's Day!" People call their kids "free range" Children are not cattle! Don't call your kids free range. I would not be bragging about living an undisciplined life. That is not something one should be proud of. Really do you want to go into business with somebody who brags about being undisciplined. No, thank you. Least that's how I feel, lol. joy Welcome to posting. Hugs to you. Don't blame yourself for sending her money. You have a good soul and you were mistreated by a miscreant.

Tracie had to make it all about her again, I see. Nothing new here. Anybody have any stats about her patronage for the podcast at this point? Have they posted a new podcast episode recently? Did I misunderstand a post in this thread that said something about no new podcasts since December 2018? If so, wow. That went down the drain even quicker than imagined. I'm not going to dip into the free-range parenting debate because I feel that Tracie's undisciplined life has nothing to do with such parenting. While free-range education can be highly problematic, it can also absolutely not be. Many cultures encourage independence from a young age on without turning their kids into bratty, savage wildebeests. I think my upbringing would qualify at least as semi free-range: I walked to and from school on my own regularly by age 6, I got a pocket knife as my 6th birthday gift, I was responsible for fully dressing myself by age 5, I had to take care of my dish and was helping out with cleaning the table + washing up daily by 4, stayed alone for full weeks while my single parent had to travel for work by age 14, my mother didn't check my homework except if I asked her to do so, etc. It's not all madness. Kind reminder that not all cultures presently encourage helicopter parenting. And if we can bring in a flying object to qualify one type of parenting, I don't see why we can't use something from agriculture for a different type. It's all fine.

I have no idea how many current subscribers they have but they're still posting new episodes weekly based on the "new episode is up" posts in their FB group.

She liked the post on Instagram, but didn't read it in its entirety? Whaat? It's like people forwarding e-mails/sharing Facebook posts/RT tweets they haven't read and looking all confused when you talk to them about it. Doesn't make any sense to me.

She also hosts another podcast with the reset girl called The First Love Club and there hasn't been one since December 2018. That's what I was referring to sleepingbooty

If I didn't know 'some' of her history (cause Lord knows I can't keep up with someone like that).. but if I just read that out of the blue, the first thing that comes to mind is "I" "I" "I" "I"// I probably wouldn't have read past that much or ever go back to read anything from her ever again.

Free range as opposed to what? I have this image in my head of little kids in a pasture grazing on grass and mooing. It's the Kansas girl in me that free range makes me think of parents farming their children. Nobody get mad at me. I never heard of this free range thing until this thread. You can imagine hearing it the first time and the image in conjures, lol.
sleepingbooty I don't know anything about free range parenting. I am not going to stir up a debate, especially on one's parenting skills. That is none of my business. I only step in on lack of parenting if I see somebody get hurt. I never ever heard of free range until you all mentioned it and all I could think of is that kids are not cows, lol.
A lot of generations were raised the way you were. That was considered normal. It was the late nineties and new views on parenting kids that we saw a shift in generational parenting. No debate. It's just a history thing and era's. I had a young couple apologize to me the other day and were so shame faced that she could not breast feed. I am just stood there looking at them blankly wondering why they thought I would care if she could breast feed or not.
I asked them why this was an issue. I got a life lesson on that. Learned if you can not breast feed you are a terrible Mother. I told the girl I was encouraged even by doctor's not to breast feed in my generation. That bottle fed formula was better. Even was told by a doctor "You are a classy young lady do you want to look poor?" Told her to look it up and she got a life lesson from her own research. Point is all of this is generations and era's. All of these era's are right and wrong.
To anybody who might have got that spark up their spine because of my free range comment. I am truly sorry. I get those sparks too. It is the first time I heard that term and it did remind me of cows. Trust me I don't get into parenting skills debate. That is not my business. If your kids are healthy, their own individuals and loved then you are doing perfectly. Everyone else needs to shut-up. That is my parenting view.
Coming back to edit. One of my furbabies needed me. I never head of helicoptoring parenting either. I keep thinking of kids in little helicopters. I guess nowadays kids are cows who fly in helicopters, ROFL. Nobody get mad at me. I am being cheeky. I was a kid in the Reagan era. I am not going to judge trend terms since we had some horrible ones, lol. I do like the images it reminds me of.

It is the first time I heard that term and it did remind me of cows. Trust me I don't get into parenting skills debate. Ha, no worries, I'm not even a parent myself so I don't have anything to defend in this debate! I just think that we quickly stigmatise entire groups of people, brushing them with one wide generalising stroke, when it isn't necessary most times. As for the odd choice in picking vocabulary, that's very typical of the English language anyway. Helicopter and free-range parenting are not actually translated that way to most other languages. Contemporary English tends to lean that way with the quirks and I don't see a reason to get upset about it: it's a cultural choice and I'm letting the English-speaking countries run with what they feel like.
In the same vein, we don't have pro-choice versus pro-life when it comes to talking about abortion in French (and in the several other languages I know). It's pro-abortion versus anti-abortion. Terminology differs, particularly when there's a vested interest in spin doctoring things, emotions running high and whatnot (we're not very religious so spinning it as "pro-life" doesn't make sense: you're either in favour of allowing abortion or you oppose it, not putting forward the pretense that it's chosing life over choice or whatever is going on here). This is extremely indicative of the divisive nature of discussion and debate (and society these days, it seems) in American culture in particular.

I was only making that comment about the vocabulary--it sounded as if the opposite of free range parenting meant keeping children confined. That's not true either. But I do agree with you.

Tiffany and Tracie do faithfully post new episodes of The Scrap gals podcast every Tuesday.
