All things Becky15 Higgins/beggy Higgins

I’ve been wondering if Becky is depressed.

But in regards to yesterday’s email, here are the bits that me off:

“As I share this with you, please keep in mind that while some of these decisions may not make sense to you, you are here because you trust us. And if you trust us, then you need to trust that we are putting EVERYthing into these decisions.”

I don’t follow you because I trust you. I follow you because I like some of what you sell. I don’t know how many people follow someone because they trust them.

“This is where trust plays an important role between you, the customer … and us, the people who care deeply to serve you through this work we do.”

I feel like this is really a silly thing to pick apart, but the “serve you” part really got under my skin. Yes Becky provides us with a service and we choose whether or not to pay for this service. But this read to me as the way ministers and the like use the word “serve.” First your employees are paid to care deeply about me so.... And if you believe that you are serving me in the way that a minister or a church does, then why are you charging me for it.

Side note: I don’t think most people feel this way cause I haven’t seen any chatter about it. But it really irks me that she made the app free after I paid 5 bucks for it. I kind of wish she would give me a credit or something. Or make the “Freeform Text” option free for us early adopters. And that irks me too, “Freeform Text” should have always been a part of the app in the first place. I quit using the app and went digital cause I was frustrated with the journaling cards.

The title life artist has been taken.

But she did it because she WANTS. TO. HELP. 🙄

Afterall, she's the Memory Keeping Professional. *Gag*

I just went and looked at her IG. She is SUPER RUDE and certifiably oblivious to anything and everything she's saying and doing! It's like a big slap in the face for her followers that are true and loyal fans/customers (for which I am not).

Maybe this is the post you were referring to crafty?

So now she's saying she completely wasted her time yesterday morning on trying to make a step by step video or whatever on her PL layouts?

I was going to share that IG post this morning but you beat me to it - I had just read someone's journal/planner page about being "super busy" as well - and yet, not too busy to make countless lists of doing laundry, checking finances, "self care" and so on...not to mention the habit tracker (I thought of sleepingbooty with the hydration record) and so on. Errrmmm, why do these women simply get on with their lives? (Or is that too obvious?) What/why are they telling us?

They are telling us that they need a constant, steady dose of validation and praise. It screams needy and insecure. Becky is clearly feeling vulnerable but instead of stepping back and going into the feelings to explore what went wrong, she's doubling down and sticking her fingers further into her ears while she continues to ignore the obvious. She is a narcissist. 

I won't even start on my hatred of the glorification of being busy. Just another way to try and one up another person. Prioritize or shut up. 

I’ve watched/read minimum of her “content” lately due to lack of patience (mine), but the descriptions y’all have included in this thread makes me wonder if he is hypomanic (Bipolar II disorder). Something seems off more than just poor business acumen. Utah actually has a huge rate of antidepressant usage & suicide rate. If I recall, some have surmised it’s a combination of the pressure many experience to appear “perfect” in the Mormon culture plus the altitude.

Same here. I also hate "self care", mostly because Ali E uses it wayyyyy too often.

There's a long list of words I hate at work, too, beginning with "stakeholders" and ending with "circle back", lol.

I'm living by the seat of my pants. 

I agree with joblackford. If Becky wants to post her random stream of consciousness babble she should set up a seperate account. I’ve unfollowed other crafters since half of their posts were pictures of their families, vacations, houses, etc. I’m just not interested.

Becky, if you really want to make better use of your time try posting more ways we can use your products and stop telling us how you think we should live our lives.

I left the Mormon church at 36 and still spent most of my 40s clinically depressed. It is very complicated and my depression had much to do with genetics and location and my marriage, but there was still a lot of ex-Mormon baggage I was dealing with (and still deal with to an extent).

I’m also thinking depression or some sort of mental issue is playing a part in what we’re seeing in BH now.
