Notebooks for Christmas? My family would shoot me. “Here, have a notebook!” “Hey mom, have some diet pills” *correction: "Hey mom, have a Peloton." 🤣😂😆 Now my dd gets journals and notebooks. Real journals and quality non intentionally horrible notebooks as she likes to doodle, draw, write short stories, and journal. I intentionally know its her thing so I intentionally go out and buy them. See what I did there?!

(oh, and YOU GUYS..... I need to be completely TRANSPARENT with you and say that my laughter over your comments was very INTENTIONAL, because.... intention is EVERYTHING, and I want to CULTIVATE laughing in my life!!!)

Why does she make these ridiculous posts? She is not some self-help super educated therapist guru. She is a scrapbooker (has-been at that) and we don’t want her intentionally sanctimonious b.s.! Give us scrapbooking products. That’s it. These type of posts irritate me to no end.

I assume she's referring to her merchandise and not tricking marks into a wager at the pool table. If so, calling what you do a 'hustle' is just disrespectful. Does she even realize what the definition of that word is?
- to lure less skillful players into competing against oneself at (a gambling game) - obtain something from (someone) by energetic and especially underhanded activity - to sell or promote energetically and aggressively

She can't seem to stop. She seems addicted to the attention. Even though her IG is now down to 83.9K and has been around that level (just above, just below) all year. She's steadily losing followers (according to Social Blade). She goes to a conference or a retreat and it ticks up a bit, but then it goes down when people get tired of her shtick and unfollow. Yet she goes on w/the cringey stuff. Tone deaf.

“I feel totally peaceful today and also a little bananas”.
It’s called bipolar disorder Becky.

“I feel totally peaceful today and also a little bananas”. It’s called bipolar disorder Becky. Don‘t encourage her! She’ll start telling us she’s “suffering from bipolar” (but not the icky kind that actually requires medical intervention) and then she’ll spend a week at Movara to cure it. Then she and SWF Becky will invite all their bipolar followers to a week of curative hiking at Movara, complete with pillow gifts or whatever they call them. Followed by an all expense paid cruise somewhere getting gifts to hawk from their “friends”.

I’m listening to Becky’s podcast- I get so confused when she says she has gained so much clarity on what she is about. It’s not apparent to this former customer. Is your clear purpose really selling random stuff to your fans? I would never have imagined this a few years ago, I almost feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone.

I somehow managed to wrap presents today for about three hours and not have any mishaps with regular recycled paper. I’m so happy I survived the cutting.

Becky is blatantly copying this "cultivate" everything from Lara Casey who has been talking about being "intentional" and to "cultivate" your life for years. She has a blog, podcast, and a very successful planner. 5,4,3,2,1 until Becky puts out her own planner. Good luck with that Becky. I don't think Becky even knows what being intentional means.
ETA: Forgot to mention, she has also written two books.

"The alternative to focusing on what matters in the big picture? Spending your time lost in distractions. Lost in Instagram. Lost in the chase for perfection, or significance, or approval, or whatever it is that has been holding you back from really living. You’ll find yourself restless, knowing that there’s more to this life. If that’s you right now, you are in the right place! I know that feeling well, and this is your chance to choose change as you answer this question:
To get uncomfortable. To think bigger than you and beyond your current circumstances. To press into fear and give it the boot!"
Or blogs, or goal sheets, or podcasts, or browsing a shop that doesn't list the prices. You have to scroll, scroll, scroll, hit buy now, and see the final total. It's $60.00 for the goal planner in case anyone is curious. That website is set up like a MLM. There was to be a easier way to set goals.
On a personal note, I'd prefer to leave religion out of goal setting. I don't think I'd find much of her format helpful.

To be fair, so many people are doing the stupid cultivate and intentional living, I don’t think we could say Becky stole the idea off one particular person. I think she’s seen other bloggers/igers get successful deals and money and has consistently tried to follow the pack and do what’s working for others. And she keeps making herself look stupid. So she tries to sell to us that she MEANT for that to happen and she switches gears trying another approach. Lather rinse repeat. And her whole “get off Instagram” bullshit, she literally has tens of thousands of posts. Stfu Becky. You don’t look happy, you look desperate. There is nothing about your life that I want.

And her whole “get off Instagram” bullshit, she literally has tens of thousands of posts. Stfu Becky. You don’t look happy, you look desperate. There is nothing about your life that I want. I follow a lot of journaling feeds. There are two that always pop up in my recommendations. They are two teenage girls. I know they are still in high school. They are doing the cultivate and intentional living ideas with their journaling. They are harmless and adorable. They are also teenagers who are just trying to figure it all out. You know normal teenage girls.
Every time I come over here you all post something from Becky's IG that mimics these two teenage girls, lol. It's like she follows them or something and then copies their "intentional & cultivated" living posts, lol. I am sure she doesn't follow them and I am being cheeky. No yelling at me, lol. When you all share Becky's posts she does remind me of those two girls. One did her cute little scrunched up grin in a recent photo. There is Becky with that scrunched up grin, lol.
Those two girls are cute and just trying to grow up and figure life out. Becky is doing the same thing as a middle age woman who should be done growing up and trying to figure it out. This is the phase for her daughters, not for Becky, lol. If Becky doesn't have it all together as an adult why would I trust her as a businesswoman? Woman brags about not having it all together in her posts so it's like she wants to yell from the mountains she knows she's a sucky businesswoman and we shouldn't trust her.
You know every single time there is a journaling post over here about Becky I am always so surprised. I never ever hear about her in my journaling communities. She doesn't come up in my IG journaling tags, she doesn't come up in any of the YouTuber journaling feeds that are using her journals. I just never see her. I am so flummoxed why she thinks her journals are so popular? I am being serious as can be about this. Even over at Scrapbook.com I don't see her journals and you would think with her name so famed in the scrapbooking world she would at least be over there. No, it's Carpe Diem, Webster Pages, Heidi, etc... but no Becky.
Am I the only one who doesn't see her name in the journaling world? To be fair it could be I don't follow her style of journaling so it doesn't come up. Also I do use a lot of spiral journals so I do think I would have seen her name. I also do a lot of things with wrapping paper too. Never ever heard of her stone wrap till you all mentioned it years ago. Never heard anything about it anywhere else but here. I actually do follow wrapping paper trends because it is an obsession, lol.

Journaling requires thought and dedication. BH sells notebooks. She *says* to journal if you want to, among the many other things her simple notebooks can be used for. As usual, she’s telling people what to do, not leading by example.

Becky is doing the same thing as a middle age woman who should be done growing up and trying to figure it out. I agree that she shouldn't be doing the same thing as a teenager. Being of middle age myself, there are so many changes that you need to figure out your life all over again. But please, not by imitating teenagers or reliving your early 20s. BTW, I have 4 more years of middle age and then... it's straight into old age. Am I the only one who doesn't see her name in the journaling world? No you are not. That is because her notebooks are just that, notebooks. The journaling world has people that 1. love pens and papers so you get lovely info on fountain pens, and all types of paper 2. junk or art journalers who love being creative and use their journal for this purpose 3. planners who love bullet journals, TM and binder notebooks. None of these groups EVER EVER mentions a regular old Mead notebook.

If there is any doubt in your mind, do not purchase her photo tips class, even at a half price discount. I was burned by this class when it first launched because I found her "catching up with kids' albums" videos so helpful and wrongly assumed this would be equally helpful. All of the tips are easily found through Pinterest or a quick Google search. The rest regarding her work flow and other tips have been shared publicly and are just repackaged here.
