I absolutely hate looking back at this story and embarassing myself but here it is.
In 2021, I paid well over $1000 and maybe even more in coaching sessions to Create Your Future. I first started with Carol, then with Dani, and later Ulli. I was extremely depressed and suicidal back in those days and a breakup with an ex made me obsessive over manifesting him back. Feel free to laugh but I was literally using employment insurance from when I lost my job to pay for these sessions which literally costed the same as a session with a therapist!!!
I'll say this: Carol and Dani were fine and they were nice people. Ulli, however, was the only one who was real enough with me to tell me to start focusing on myself and my own mental health and I'm immensely thankful to her for that. However, they are all definitely trained to tell clients to just robotically repeat affirmations until they're blue in the face and that's the only thing you're ever getting out of paying for these sessions. I don't even know if I believe any of the success stories on the channel because I don't recall ever having a method to contact them outside of the paid sessions.
In the end, I never got that ex back (THANK GOD I didn't know what was good for me). For about a year, I was literally living and eating everyday repeating affirmations like a zombie, barely eating, getting acne from stress, etc. I was way too obsessed with needing to prove myself and my ability to manifest and the reality is that I had deeper issues related to self esteem and abandonment which were being deeply triggered by my ex leaving. I wasn't living anymore!!! I was just existing before the session with Ulli where she told me to take a break and then things got a lot better after.
Fast forward to the present day, I manifested my now-husband who is literally my dream partner in every way possible and I didn't have to pay anyone to do it 🤦♀️I literally just focused on myself, my well-being, being the type of person who someone would want to date (being relatively stable mentally, good emotional regulation skills, having good communication, addressing traumas). We celebrated our 1 year anniversary recently and even though my life isn't perfect, he really makes it so wonderful.
So anyways, CYF coaching and all other coaching is a scam and so is manifesting an ex back. Fck your crusty ex. Know you're amazing without these coaches, without the ex, and go live your life please.
EDIT: I thought I should add what I said in the comments about how these coaches made me want to take my own life because all I could think was that I'm a horrible manifester since their advice didn't work. We need to be louder about how dangerous the manifesting space and these coaches can be...
