All things Becky15 Higgins/beggy Higgins

Pod Save America, Hidden Brain, Startup Podcast, Stuff you missed in history, Reversing Climate Change, etc.

Podcasts are AMAZING - they have changed and enhanced my life.

But I don't think I have time for "you know what, Guys..."

Major podcast fanatic here as well. Are you listening to The Dream (currently airing weekly)? It's about MLM structures and it's fascinating. They look at how they came to be, why women dominate them, what happened in the American legal system that gave them a loophole to exist with the Amway case, etc.

Count me in now too! I have always been intrigued by this stuff. I love watching American Greed and now listening to this podcast is right up my alley! Thanks sleepingbooty!

Oh man, my husband is addicted to that show! It drives me barmy... so many Ponzi schemes!

Yes!

Privileged is about it. Let’s face it, in Becky’s world that good life you should be cultivating requires some significant cash.

And we all know she's having trouble making ends meet. 🙄

As I've listened to more podcasts, I've noticed BH doesn't actually share any real personal details or flaws beyond a very superficial, "You guys, I struggle with this." There is no depth or personal reflection beyond lip service.



When the other Becky gives real examples from her life about her struggles or not-so-shining moments, BH uses it as a launching point of "here's how you fix it" with her "tips" and "advice." BH definitely enjoys "fixing" or "helping" the other Becky with her issues. The more I listen, the more I can't not hear BH's condescension.

The latest episode with the MLM convention and testimonies. Truly heartbreaking. These are desperate women embarking on a you-will-lose-for-sure venture and too hopeful to see the truth. I'm glad to see several Peas "enjoying" this podcast. It's truly informative.

I am starting to change my view on Becky. I do think she has a bit of a mean girl streak or she's very intimidated by other women. Which is the same thing and usually brings out a mean girl streak. First she posts about that firing. Now she is organizational shaming. What The?

Who cares if your suitcase is neat and your friends isn't. I am a neatnick and I would probably slam my case shut because I would be embarrassed my OCD was showing or I would be trying to mess things up in my case, lol.

Becky's IG:

"We’re 9 years deep into this Becky Higgins business and what started as a simple kit, I honestly thought this would grow to be maybe a couple new kits per year and that’s it (ha!). I’m so thankful for growth, and for the shifting and the evolution and the adjusting of our sails and the things we’ve tried and the ways we’ve messed up and how we’ve always known to try, try again.
.
Well, now’s not the time or place to go into ALL the detail of SO many ways that our company has evolved, but one thing that I’ve learned is that as a team, we need to be increasingly wise with our TIME. We’re a small-but-mighty team and we’re all stretched pretty thin as working moms that have actual human limitations. So in taking a hard look at what’s working, what’s not working, where we should be investing our time and resources, where we need to shift some things and all of that … we’ve decided that it’s time to take a break from having an official Project Life Creative Team.
.
Now before you get all sad, let me explain what’s really EXCITING about this: Instead of the extensive effort that goes into the management and organization of a Creative Team, we’ve realize that we can keep sharing Project Life pages just the same but with waaaaaay less effort behind-the-scenes AND in a way that involves waaaaaay more of YOU!! Instead of limiting ourself to just a handful of people each year, ANYone has a chance of being featured on our social media, blog, etc. .
.
Did you catch that?? EVERYONE wins in this decision! We still share the awesome pages and tips. You still see the regular inspiration. AND (!!) … now you have better chances of being featured! "


Did you catch that?!?! No more paying people for content. Now people get a chance to be "featured" instead.

I guess I agree with Becky- less inspiration to use the products she makes + less visibility and focus on physical product from her company = money that can be spent elsewhere. It really is a win-win!

The way she writes these things you’d think her team are the only working moms on the planet. Women all over the world make sacrifices at work and at home. You want to run a business, it takes time. I agree with mom she’s over PL and doing anything but the minimum to crank out digital kits is too much for her. Unfortunately, I think that all those other things she’s trying to sell is done better by others. I wonder, other than the PL app, is anything she’s doing actually bringing in profit? I scrap almost exclusively PL, but I don’t use her product any longer because I don’t do digital and other than old product nothing new is in physical form that I can buy locally.
