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 I am really glad your mom is going to be ok. Take care of yourself, too.

This was on my local news and I had never heard of her. I didn't know she was some Instagram influencer. I avoid all of them. Something didn't sit right with me. She lives in Utah and now I'm assuming an active LDS member. They have an app for members, ward facebook pages, and at one time ward directories. I found it really hard to believe she had nowhere to turn. If I remember right, she doesn't live in a rural location.

I've avoided reading about the 911 formula woman, but I am on a limited budget and I even have used the local delivery place (here it's called Shipt) to deliver groceries when I was under the weather and they will do it 24 hours. I am Gen X and probably older than her and Becky but they set women back to the 1950's the way they act. LOL I am tired this morning and am not having it.
Sleepingbooty hope your mom has a speedy recovery.

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. This rubs me the wrong way. You shouldn't have to "buy" good reviews if your podcast is truly that awesome.

Is it even a podcast? Or just a circle of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints congratulating each other as they shill each others' brands? Exactly. I'm convinced this is the new way of shilling MLMs. Gone are the days of Hey! I'm having a get together at my house Friday night with some friends. Want to come?
and THANK YOU for saying a circle of Mormons. When I was active, I did not hang out with these types because they were nauseatingly disingenuous and thankfully I've never lived where that was the norm.

Now in her stories she has changed her tune and is saying she didn’t mean you have to give a 5 star review to be entered, she says something like she got a head of herself because she was excited. She is also apologizing if people don’t like the way she comes across sometimes. Not sure what or who prompted this but it’s clear someone had said something to her.

@miss2peas either someone said something on their own accord, or there are eyes here. My best guess. Also "sorry if you don't like how I come off" is too close to "I'm sorry I offended you" for my liking....

I saw this app is available on 02/27. It's a journal app, but it looks like it could be a replacement or a different way of scrapping than using the PL app. www.instagram.com/zinnia_journal/

I’m not sure how people “confused her words”- they are typed out to intentionally read. I just checked, the post has been edited now. People make mistakes but she is trying to put a spin on it and not admit her first idea for the giveaway was not the best . Just say requiring a five star review was wrong so we changed it.

Interesting I guess it depends on how much they are going to charge for the in app purchases and how much if that you need to buy.

I looked at the reviews before her contest and there were quite a few lower rated reviews, so perhaps she was trying to bury them. I’m pretty sure they can’t be deleted.

Their podcast has received 160 five star reviews since Tuesday. I left a review saying that buying five star reviews pretty much negates any review they receive going forward. I also mentioned that BH was offering giveaways in exchange for a five star review. How is this "cultivating a good life"?!?! She should be ashamed of herself, but is too ridiculous too even see it.

Usually I can’t abide the nonsense, but the dancing today was in honor of @kimcankickit. I can’t remember if she has been mentioned on this board before, but I just became aware of her before her right before she passed away. She was LDS and had been battling cancer for years. I believe that her memorial service was today and they were dancing for her. Her family was doing a dance all day in her memory sort of thing.

Anything sincere she might do (or was there a BECKY15 code for dance lessons?) isn't even recognized as such because of her general all around nonsense, ridiculousness and carrying on. No one takes you seriously, Becky.

Thanks for the love, ladies. In today's positive news, my mother is going home this afternoon, so happy! I'll have to resurrect Tracie Claiborne's thread because I asked the cardiologist "heart doctor" about the pacemaker-sticking-out situation... I'm going to go and download BH's stories because I don't have it in me to watch her nonsense right now but will at some point in the next few days. Of course she implied people needed to leave 5-star reviews to be entered for some gift, of course she then faux-pologises if it was misunderstood, of course she's still pulling the sorry-if-you-don't-like-how-I-come-across card. This woman, I swear. The Becky who cried ME!

I assume the calling out of her "buying" reviews is what prompted the rambling stories today. On her hike she talked about how she made a mistake, she felt she could justify/explain what she did, and she got defensive about it...but you guys! She is grateful for the learning opportunities and is teachable.
She never said what the mistake was or apologized for it...but we should accept that she's grateful for getting to learn from it.

Exactly and then we circle back to exactly why people feel the way they do about her here and I’m sure elsewhere. JUST BE HONEST BECKY. Also did you see her post about people either liking her or not liking her since she changed what she posts? Do what you want but stop pretending you still have a business and more less a hobby to keep yourself busy and promote your religious beliefs.
