lisacharlotte You must understand that my anxiety is really bad this week, which I mentioned so empathy would be kind. I do stand by what I wrote. I do think many X'er social media influencers are using anxiety as a profit board. I was on the forums and newsgroups for abused kids back in the day as an X'er. I am sure none of those members have gone on too have big IG's full of large houses and expensive trips plus coupon codes to expensive spas. Z's do have a large platform to speak. Sure us X'ers brought in that platform. We learned how to find our voice but the Z's can boom. We still had our parents telling us to shut-up, keep it in the family and respect them. Z's can now tell their X'er parents to Eff off. I am not saying that Z's do not have these same issues. The suicide rate in Utah shows that they do. They do have a large worldwide voice to speak and a platform to help save themselves and their friends.
This is their tool and they are using it. We told our parents to eff off we were beat, kicked out of our homes are worse. Once again I am not saying that this is not a Z's life. I know very well it is. When it happened to abused kids back in the day we had a little network that was small and fragile at the best. Z's have a worldwide network. We should celebrate that. Let them monopolize and use it for betterment. Hopefully, their children we will not hear horror stories. When we do hear the horror stories hopefully the monsters that destroyed these kids lives will receive the punishments they deserve and not be swept under the rug so the parents won't look bad around their social group. When I was raped there were not programs for girls like me. There were not advocacy groups and the help I received was minimal at best. Back then I received really great help and protection. I have no complaints, because I was one of the lucky ones to be able to get in these "state of the art" programs. It was still minimal, I still have problems from my injuries and I have a lot of trauma. Now, I have even better resources to help me get even better. Yes, I am grateful to the Z's and to the Y's for yelling and pushing for better care using social media platforms.
Yes, there are large group of Xer's raising hell right now fighting for better rights. Ashley Judd #MeToo, Women's Marches organized by women of all ages and so much more. No matter if you like it or not we as X'ers were raised in a culture of marketing. This is what we know and what we are good at. There has become an abuse of power with Social media and our generation to profit off of things that should never be profit off of, like anxiety, breast cancer, spousal abuse, etc...

I know I've said it on here before, but their influence on the membership of the Mormon/LDS church is little to none. They may have their group of friends that are members, but it doesn't go much past that point.
Most members are kept busy with many obligations to the church, they tend to stick to church approved material for guidance. Things like the monthly church magazines, the official website, the approved scriptures, or books from the church owned bookstore. Trust me, that is a whole other problem. Read their official literature and you quickly understand the suicide problem.
I really do understand what you are saying. I know you are a former member of the church. One of my closest friends who has been by my side through everything is Mormon. I have seen true disgusting horrors in the church. It like saying to abuse kids in the Catholic church. Not all members are like that. They know that, we all know that. The monsters exist in these organized religions.
You have fragile people who depend on the Internet for their social health. They find blogs like Becky who shows off our home, and her luxurious trips to Italy. They look at blogs like hers and think "I can cure my anxiety with a spa trip and go to Italy too." "Mormon church will save me!"
Don't tell me that organized religions prey on the mentally ill. This is a very big discussion in my area with church leaders who are trying to prevent this.
One of my friends was in a decent church. She was in a fragile place in her life. She had the Becky Higgin's Mormon ladies telling her that her life could be so much better if she just joined their church. She could have this or that, blah, blah, blah. She did join the church. This story luckily does not have a bad ending except she has some weird ideas now, lol. They didn't save her. She still has the issues.
Mormon's are not bad. They are wonderful and beautiful people. There are bad Mormon's. They keep getting away with things because they do have elder's in their church protecting them. How did Becky get a trip to Italy? Why did that not go to somebody who was I don't know a theologian in the church for example. Becky is abusing her influence in the church for financial gain.
I bet you some of her home was paid for by the church.
No more ranting girls, I promise. I am in a really good and happy mood. I am just tired of this industry and their abuse of power. They need to be called on it.

I bet you some of her home was paid for by the church. I'm technically a member of the church. You can't just walk away. You have to officially resign. I keep putting it off because they don't let you go quietly.
Organized religions do prey on the impoverished and mentally ill. I agree with you.
The thing is, in the LDS church it is all about authority. The top 15 are in charge. There is only one true living prophet. It's all about obeying. Yes, Becky can influence people, but she's not a man, doesn't have the priesthood, and is not in a big calling like General Young Women's President, General Primary President or General Relief Society president.
When you question your life; read the scriptures, pray, and read or listen to church approved materials. Becky can absolutely influence other members, but it's minimal.
Also, the Mormon church is cheap, cheap, cheap with its members. They are disgustingly rich. However, no one is paid unless you are in the very top tier. Every ward is given a tiny budget. Becky got a trip to Italy because she's rich, she has lots of credit card debt, comes from money,.... I don't know. Definitely NOT paid for by the Mormon church. They are PR savvy. They'd have a TV crew following her around, putting a Mormon spin on it and broadcasting it in between sessions of General Conference.
So I truly doubt the church paid any amount of money towards her new home. Hell, if they did for some reason, I'd be kind of proud of her. Finally recouping all that tithing money she's paid in her lifetime.  |

This is what I hear from the ex-Mormon podcasts I follow. The ex-Mormon hosts still live in Utah, have their family wrapped up in the Church so are very much "in the know." They always talk about how rich the Church of LDS is but how cheap they are with their community (except if you temporarily lose your job and need emergency help to pay your basic bills from what I understand - but they will push you to find a job and start paying tithing ASAP ). Here's an article recapping the MormonLeaks story about the estimated wealth of the Church of LDS for anyone interested: 32 billion US dollars (tax-free, including stock options). And an estimated 8 billion dollars in tithing yearly. she has lots of credit card debt, comes from money,... Dad was a physician. Married a physician. Trip was a tax write-off because she filmed stuff for another one of her aaaawesome classes + did a podcast episode while travelling. This was all discussed when Becky went to Italy on her trip in this very thread. WRITE-OFF, WRITE-OFF, WRITE-OFF. The trip was mostly "free" because they very likely deducted it thanks to Becky's business. One more reason for me not to support her business anymore. Also, the aforementioned podcasts brought up the amount of debt, including credit card debt, rich Mormons carry and I was shocked. Hell, I was shook. I hope for Becky's sake that isn't the case for her family but accumulating debt to live the keeping up with the Joneses lifestyle of the well-off LDS families is madness. With her brand slowly swirling down the drain and American Crafts putting a hold on Project Life by Becky Higgins production, I don't wish this upon her. Here's to hoping that McManson is paid off and the $2000 chandeliers don't go on the credit card. |

Not only is her husband a doctor, he is an anesthesiologist and they make about $300,000/yr. I don't disagree for one second that they tried to write-off the trip as a business expense. I just want to point out that doesn't make it free, it just gives you a deduction... so basically whatever you pay for the trip you don't pay tax on that income. But it's not a dollar for dollar savings and, that's assuming, they don't get audited and have that disallowed. Because it likely would be. You can't take a vacation and then write it off because you happen to also do a little work while you're there. |

I didn't finish the episode, but both Beckys got really quiet when Miranda talked about being an influencer and selling/sponsoring posts all of the time. Miranda talked about having self-awareness that she was contributing to the problem of consumerism by having so many sponsored posts and endeavors and linking all of the cool stuff she bought/wore/ate/loved because it definitely encouraged her followers to buy! buy! buy! so she stopped and became much more intentional about all of that.

I deleted my previous post (I should have just edited it - I’m sorry) because I actually don’t know if the Mormon church is paying Becky (or anyone) to be a social influencer. It sounds completely off the wall as a former member, and knowing how cheap they are, but maybe that is the direction they are going with some of their missionary work and funding. I just don’t know. They’ve swerved and changed directions so many times over the past few years nothing should surprise me anymore  . If that’s the case though, I don’t think they are getting their money’s worth from Becky. It sounds like she’s turning more people off the Mormon church with her proselytizing and tears, outside of her own circle of course. |

The best thing to do with “social influencers “ and those who post things online that are so off-base that you shake your head, unfollow, unsubscribe, and don’t engage with them.

MerryMom Power of words! I love it. You summed it. I never pay attention to Becky's IG because she is not my style. I peek at it because of this thread, lol. I was thinking about all this and her mean girling this weekend. You know how many IG stars are out there like Becky? Too many to count. People like that in the end get erased by their own behavior. I don't like how this industry promotes profiting off of things that are real life issues like mental health, breast cancer, women's rights, etc.... Honestly, they don't care, they don't listen, they like their abusive culture. It makes them money so why change it for something decent like values.  It was such a bad anxiety week for me last week. I told my DH this weekend why do I even care about this woman. I don't buy these stars products unless I found them on clearance or at the thrift stores. I only buy them on clearance because I like the In House Designer. You know the poor person who gets all her artwork shamed because the Becky's of the world don't respect that and can't behave decently. Told my DH this weekend that we both have been so abused and seen so much hurt from the Mormon church. It's just easier for us to say "We won't support that in any way shape or form." He agreed with me. Power of silence and money speaks. I really do hope Becky does not get somebody hurt with her coupon code cruelty. I have a feeling it's going to happen. This woman is not worth an anxiety attack.

I never thought the Church of LDS were paying Becky to be an influencer. Not sure where that weird rumour originated. Becky's simply using her influencer status on social media to proselytise. The internet is the missionary's new playground and the Church of LDS has been vocal about shifting to trying to convert people (and better their image after all the scandals of late) through social media since 2013, folks. That's no secret. Clearly, since 2013, they've moved on from the 18 year-old missionaries to any active Church member with a solid following on social media who is willing to do the work in the name of Joseph Smith. Becky has stated in the past few months that she has stepped up in the Church of LDS and taken on a leadership position among local women (I think she leads some sort of weekly gathering/Mormon holy books study). Her expansion to being an online missionary for her Church is a logical development in this scenario (which is not something I'm interested in or approve of hence why I don't follow her). |

"When is enough, enough? What even IS enough??.. Episode 049 of the podcast is a follow-up to last week’s episode with @livefreemiranda. Becky and I have read her new book, “More Than Enough” and we both feel fundamentally changed in very specific and personal ways that are proving to add blessings to our lives — seriously! Now THAT’s worth talking about!...
Are you ready to have your own increased clarity about the role of STUFF in your life?? Are you ready to feel some nudges that could be exactly what you need to feel right now? Direct link is in my profile or you can find “Cultivate a Good Life” wherever you listen to podcasts."
Oh FFS!!! Really Becky Higgins?!?!?!??! From the woman building a new home the size of a small airport and filling it with NEW STUFF!?!?!?!??!
How does she handle that level of hypocrisy?!?

She’s clearly ok with going through her midlife crisis publicly isn’t she? But this post is really telling if you really read into it. Her vision for her company only went so far. And once she hit that ceiling, she was really lost. She built that office thinking that the industry would fill in the gaps for her. And when that didn’t happen, mostly because she didn’t listen to her consumers, she lost it. That’s what we’ve been watching this past year. I also think we the customers put her on this pedestal, I mean she was Becky Higgins, guru behind the sketches. Her sketches were revolutionary 20 years ago. But she wasn’t a business major in college. She was a family science major. She doesn’t know how to run a multinational company, that’s why hers failed. And I think she’s trying to come to terms with being just a rich stay at home mom. Porter was born at the height of her creating keepsakes career. Who is Becky Higgins without being a professional scrapbooker? I see this post of hers as the most honest thing she’s shared thus far. I can relate because I’m 42 years old. I wanted to be a college degree holding person but I’m about to send my 2nd child off to college. I’m homeschooling my 15 yo and I’m completely devoted to getting him into college too. My life is completely not what I envisioned. It’s humbling. And as much as I can’t stand Becky, I think I understand how she’s been feeling. Maybe. But I think she would have done herself some major favors by getting off the internet a long time ago. |

I feel she’s selfish for not selling PL to another brand. Leading scrapbookers on to thinking they will always have access to physical PL. I’m 44. My birthday is the day after BH’s. I’ve met her a few times when I used to live in the same state. My nephew was in Porter’s class one of the years they made those cute school books. Her sketches, those were the days. That was one of my favorite features in CK magazine. My other one was Jessica Sprague’s Digi column. I love digi scrapbooking too, but there’s something about the physical. You are so correct in saying we all put her on a pedestal. Interesting how we do things like that. Even though she says the app is staying, I’m not so sure. I’m wondering if I should store my purchases on an EHD somehow? |

I think Becky as a person should get off the internet for her own well being. I don’t think she’s a bad person.
I think Becky Higgins PL inc. needs to be on the internet. Needs to be LISTENING to customers, needs to provide inspiration to customers to create desire for them to purchase SOMETHING ( physical or digital ) from the business.
I just think Becky got those two things confused when there was none of the listening part happening. I think it’s a shame because she could have sold OR had someone in to run the company ( while she just played around ) & give customers what they wanted.
What they/we still want actually, or why are we all still watching it die if we aren’t expecting some sort of last minute save.

A PR person / media wrangler would have solved 99% of these issues - but of course that would mean less attention, even if a lot of it is negative.

I am always, always, always saying this exact same thing over here. It's my mantra, lol. These girls need an agent, STAT! I am artist with a small following, use my art name as my social media persona, reclusive & private. Essentially I am drama free and I have an agent. It helps me with legal issues which always, always arise with us girls who do freelance work, she keeps me private life private. That is very important to me. I want to create art not create fame. She's been my agent for over twenty years and I don't make her rich but I am really glad to give her money. She saves my sanity.
There are a couple of scrapbook stars with PR/Agents. Those pretty ladies actually have real world problems and tragedies where most of us would understand if they would go off the deep end on their social media. We would support them and love them. The rest of the ladies in this industry do not and it really shows!
Nobody tell me that Sleeping Beauty and the sleepover party are Becky's PR. Sleeping Beauty is not a PR person. If she really is she is super unprofessional.

Sleeping Beauty is not a PR person. If she really is she is super unprofessional. approves. I fail to see how Other Becky is a professionally trained PR officer and it's the industry I work in. I held the position before moving on to branding. You are meant to manage relationships for your client and their reputation (information, information, information), that's the whole schtick.  |

She now has an Instagram post up about physical Project Life and how she’s not sad about it going away in stores. Oh but it will always be available on her site and Amazon. Yeah ok. She’s so selfish. Unless you live outside the US in which case... too bad for you.

I think Becky as a person should get off the internet for her own well being. I don’t think she’s a bad person. I think Becky Higgins PL inc. needs to be on the internet. Needs to be LISTENING to customers, needs to provide inspiration to customers to create desire for them to purchase SOMETHING ( physical or digital ) from the business. I just think Becky got those two things confused when there was none of the listening part happening. I think it’s a shame because she could have sold OR had someone in to run the company ( while she just played around ) & give customers what they wanted. What they/we still want actually, or why are we all still watching it die if we aren’t expecting some sort of last minute save. This! I mean, look at the flurry of everyone on this board trying to track down the Click kit at TM! There is still a chance for a comeback for PL, if the changes we’ve all asked for were implemented or even if someone appeared to give a damn and promoted the product. Isn’t THAT why we’re all here on this thread? Yes, the trainwreck can be entertaining, and “the Beckys” (OMG, having images of Heathers, but now Beckys!) can be a bit appalling, but I think we all would like it if PL got back on the rails, with or without Becky. I still like their albums and pocket pages (although I like them a lot better at 40% off), and it seems like 12x12 albums are getting harder to find. |
