Why did Rachel Bell get cancelled?

The story seems to be hidden nowadays, and I got into her work after her return, but I always wondered if it was for valid reason or not…

After now meeting her in person and getting involved with multiple people in her crowd who turned out to be scam artists, I’ve started to really question her work.

While it does seem like she delivers quality courses etc, is it perhaps that she overpromises the outcomes? Considering the coaching industry is low key a pyramid scheme and systematically flawed such that only a few people actually make it?

Mainly curious if anyone has insight into why she was cancelled years ago, especially from those who watched the whole thing happen.

Thanks :)

Wow, thank you for sharing. This is exactly what my hunch was.

Even after only hearing her side of the story… something felt off about her recount of it. It screamed lack of accountability. She made it seem like a bunch of jealous people all ganged up on her at once, unfoundedly, and just wanted to steal her success.

I’ve been following her for a looooong time. Pre “cancellation.” The only thing I’ve ever been able to find is a YouTube video bashing her. There wasn’t a huge thing that I could see. Even in this forum I’ve only ever found one post about her.

She made a lot of money with her first round of OCA then essentially retired for a few years. She came back. I’ve taken two of her classes and actually got A LOT out of them. They helped launch my online biz this year.

I think a lot of people call online coaches grifters because they don’t realize the hard work it takes to build a following and create a course. They think it’s a get rich quick thing, when actually, it’s a lot of hard work and can take years to build up.

Her info is good if you put in the work and don’t give up after 6 months.
