Her stories are filled with posts about all of the podcasts they are doing with their sponsors. It's one big informercial.

Are ladies supposed to pose with one knee bent so one foot is almost tippy toe now? Why didn’t I get the memo? I trust you guys to keep me on the loop on these things! Actually, yes. Having the lower body at a slight angle but the shoulders more squared to the camera, all the weight on the back foot, and hand on hip are all ways to elongate and slim your body in photos. While the hand on hip always looks sorority girl to me, I still do it because it creates space and makes me look less like a blob and more like I have a shape. I get the weight on the back foot and hand on hip, it is the bent knee that I find comical. It is so unnatural The pose looks like horses doing trick counting or horses that had their photos taken mid trot. (The ladies do not look like horses, just their pose).

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 feeling 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.

Your words are very vivid and remind us that some people have real issues. While poseurs, influencers and gurus mostly want clicks.

For those that have legit anxiety (hugs)
I wish Becky Higgins would start calling her anxiety attack what it was: a reality check! For one moment, I think she realized that she was the downfall of her company. She played office with her girls, she cut her design team, and then she shit on National Scrapbook Day. My guess is for one second she realized that the downfall of the Project Life brand was her doing because project life scrapbooking is going strong. Of course, Becky Proudfit swooped in to tell her that it wasn’t her fault and they should be pimping more collaborations.

While the hand on hip always looks sorority girl to me, I still do it because it creates space and makes me look less like a blob and more like I have a shape. I usually do this, it seems to give me a better shape in pics- I've lost a lot of weight (28 lbs), but I'm still self conscious so I like having photos of me that I look decent in, and the leg thing seems to help. I didn't even know it was a "trend".

Please sign my change.org petition to rename this thread 'All things BECKY15 Higgins/beggy Higgins' bwahahaha!! "And you know what the recurring theme is with these brands we love so much? They noticed a problem, created a solution, and brought it to market. 👊🏻 It’s a story I’m intimately familiar with. It’s the story of Project Life and how my own business was born. 💛" <-- can you say irony, Becky? ^^^ Until she killed it! When she decided the problem was 'not enough notebooks' and 'not enough sack-shaped dresses' and 'not enough decorative wood signs' instead of giving her customers what they *really* wanted, which was MORE Project Life stuff!!! She is a classic example of why I know I wouldn't be a good entrepreneur-- I have lots of ideas, but I know I'd only be focused on what *I* liked instead of what sold, or what my customers actually WANTED.

naby64, I'm so sorry you have to go have that battle. I fight with anxiety as well and it's so hard. There are some days where I really have to force myself to get out of bed and go to work, especially in the winter when my depression (yep, I have that fun combo!) is worse. Becky is fantastic at insulting and alienating her followers when she talks about this nonsense. Do you need to have anxiety or panic disorder to feel anxious? Of course not.... but she needs to understand that there's a major difference between being stressed out and dealing with a legitimate disorder. It's infuriating when she uses her stressors as tools to pull in attention.

Ya know what? She should be reading this, all the free for the taking advice, speaking out about the products we'd like to see and so much more.
It's like a focus group without the fees. I mean, what company couldn't get some great pointers here, right?
But yet the response is always turned around to a me, me, me mentality.
Dang, I'd love to have a company with the opportunity that she has.
Scratch that, had.
And I feel like I'm repeating myself, but no way I'm going back to look. 🙄

Anyone notice how much more they’re showing of these other businesses actual work than they did when they had a business. I don’t begrudge the swimsuit, and the bags, and the bed people. Those products do all actually look near, they have a solid social media and brick and mortar presence. And when you walk in, you know exactly what they do or sell or make. When Becky has the project life office, they almost never worked or showed anything. You couldn’t tell what the business was when you walked in. Her brand was tanking then and we just didn’t see it yet.

@julie5, That's a very interesting point. Now that I think about it, the videos in her office were either scripted, or dances, or other things like that. They didn't show any hints of actual work being done.

Not that it went into detail about the vast reaches of hidden stuff, but we were just talking about wanting to see their warehouse in the SC thread a couple weeks ago. Didn’t take long

Scrapbook companies should be reading here. It’s in their best interest to check out forums and blogs to see what’s trending and what the customers want. Happy customers = more sales. Too bad Becky never figured this out, even though it was spelled out numerous times.

Is Becky15 our eye rolling response to her promo code for whatever podcast sponsor she’s shilling for this week?

BECKY10 for $10 off the Photo Tips workshop, y'all. Wasn't this the class that was supposed to be archived forever ("hurry up, sign up before it goes in the vault, only 3h left!")?... Also, Becky, you let us down. Why not $15 off for BECKY15? Come on, honour your own 2PR thread! Tsk tsk tsk.

I thought I'd share with the group that my thirteen-year-old wanted a picture of him from when he was in kindergarten, and I just broke out the PL album from that year to fine options for him. I would REALLY LOVE IT if PL were still readily available.

I would like a bingo square that is "choosing to let work into my life'. Get ready for more of the same w/lots more shilling of Mormon companies coming up on the podcast. On the other hand, this is the lowest cut shirt I've ever seen Becky wear. Maybe ch-ch-ch-changes after all? WHAT is wrong with that man?! He is not putting his pointy toe out! His knee is not out properly. And seriously ladies, that pose does nothing for you. If you are short, you are short. If you are pudgy you still look pudgy.

If you are pudgy you still look pudgy. That's how I feel about posing "the right way" in general. I'm fat and turning sideways with an extended leg maybe looks like I'm 5 pounds less, but I look extremely awkward. It is not a natural pose for me.

At least they are posing... I don't pose much any more and should because there's no photos of me, always the one taking the photos. Too much pressure to strike the perfect pose.

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.

mom, so sorry you are dealing with this. Hoping your appt helps and you got things adjusted. Mine has been a bit better. Only a couple of mornings waking up with the already chest tightening going on. Once I was up and going, it did seem to skitter back just a bit. I have been using the stress app on my phone to take a few moments to sit and just breathe.
