She lost me at "mindset coach"

[sandstorm]

That's the same crap I see people peddle on linkedin. "Change your MINDSET instead of, you know, dismantling capitalism and eating the rich."

She believes in "the law of attraction," where if you believe in something enough, it will come to you.

That's how she made hundreds of thousands of dollars on Youtube. Not because she's a pretty white girl, but because the universe gave it to her.

law of attraction is so ridic, i guess ppl in war-torn and starving places just don't wish as hard for peace&food as this hustling lady wishes for money

[xtinkerbellax]

I hate all this shit and a lot of the people who are attracted to it. This girl is insane though, I used to follow her years ago, she's one of those people who has no personality of her own so she just becomes whoever she surrounds herself with.

[frejasface]

Oh my God, Alyse/Raw Alignment is so ridiculous.

She comes from money, but moved to Hawaii to ~be with nature~ and went on food stamps.

She has a new disordered diet every few months that she preaches to her followers

She charges thousands of dollars for her "retreats"

She stopped being vegan and became a carnivore

She bought a designer golden doodle, even though she used to be into animal welfare, and she trained it with a shock collar

Mostly, everything that she does is for money even though she acts like a hippie

[swifterland]

I used to watch some her videos and she's so disgusting the way she peddled those dangerous vegan diets and then made money off the vegan community and young impressionable teens while she was eating meat for a year before she was caught! and how she continues to keep those videos up! no conscience found

[emptyobsidian]

I love that she tries to pretend she did it all on her own too when her family was sending her cash while she was in Hawaii "finding herself" at least until she started bilking tons of money from young women looking for a mentor.

lol she sounds like all the girls i went to middle school with, down to the goldendoodle she can't train properly (bonus points if she gets a great dane in a few months). i half expected her to be peddling hempworx with that "stop hating money!!!" shit. those hempworx hussies are always saying that.

limiting beliefs are a thing, changing your mindset is a good thing. however, i'm not gonna believe that someone caught up in generational poverty subconsciously hates money or subconsciously wants to be exploited. i've been reading a lot about loa/manifesting in the past few months and you have to keep what works and throw out what doesn't.

[analievelyn]

can you share what has worked for you? genuinely curious

[nutmegdealer]

for limiting beliefs: it's a constant struggle and i've been questioning everything, period. writing out the beliefs and writing counters to them. stopping the stories in my head and coming up with counters to those. realizing that all of those beliefs were never things that i originally thought about myself, but were things that i was told by assholes and then internalized.

for manifesting: the only things i've done have been visualization and scripting (except that one time i used a subliminal and it worked). a visualization technique that i've never used but have read about involves visualizing only the end and those feelings. i want to test it out for next time!

my scripting is pretty lazy. i just write down what i want in the present tense and then put it away. i've gotten results from burning lists, or keeping them in a notebook, or putting them in my pillowcase for a few days.
hope this helps. feel free to dm me.

well said.
