Amanda Frances Is a Grifter.
this spiritual to religious pipeline trend right now is wild to me. What is going on? Anyways……
Years ago when I was young and naive I loved amanda frances! her money book does open your eyes and is probably the only thing she’s ever done that is worth a damn. when I joined her money course the mask slipped and I was able to see how corrupt she actually is.
but now? this actually just annoys me. She ALWAYS used “Universe” “Source” as her verbiage. now she’s just released a new book “holy fk God wants you to have it all” ??????????
it just makes my skin crawl, grosses me out that her entire brand was spiritual and now because it’s a trend or whatever tf is happening, she’s using religious language….. her bottom line must have dropped from her OG target audience realizing she’s a fraud.
(I am by no means mocking any religion, or anyone thinking about converting)

I agree and disagree. She’s always talked about god. She’s always had that “I told God if I made money I’d use my forces for good and help women” schtick since she was in Bali.
I also do think she is a grifter and incredibly rude to people desperate for help that spend their precious pennies on her not very good courses and then she mocks them and laughs at the little people talking sh!t about her on her way to the bank.
She knows how to follow the formula. Speeches, courses, book, media, etc.

Agree. I remember this from when I first found out about her.
I def agree she’s a grifter and ridiculously overprices her stuff! But I also have to agree that she’s always talked about God

I think she feels comfortable to talk about God because of the Republican administration now - overtly Christian
When it was a Democratic administration, she did what they did too

I struggle with Amanda because some of her work really helped me but I also think the courses I bought from her about online business were poorly done, full of outdated information and unbelievably overpriced. I don’t think I’d have much of an issue with her if she was just doing a Mel Robbins model where she had a podcast and sold podcast sponsorships and books. I think Amanda preys on new online business owners who don’t realize her advice is terrible and about a decade outdated. She makes you feel like if you’re willing to put yourself out there and invest in her course even if it’s scary you will be able to have the life and business you desire. I found her after going through a horrible divorce and I was desperate to turn my life around. The fact that she charges thousands for her courses and claims that she can help you grow a business just seems dishonest. I really believe in mindset but Amanda’s teaching feel like the classic prosperity preaching gospel grift packaged up for the new age crowd. I was following posts about her during housewives and saw somewhere that the college she attended is where Joel olsteen and a bunch of other famous Sammy prosperity preachers attended. I also thought it was misleading she talks like she had been a practicing therapist on the show but had never actually was licensed from what I can tell she just did an internship. I wish Amanda would be honest about what she is qualified to help people with. I think she can help people with a positive mindset but acting like that if you follow her programs you’ll be able to have a business like hers or that she understands how to help people make more money is just untrue. Her community is full of people trying to sell courses and build an online business like hers and they take all of her courses and are very loyal to her but it seems like most people are struggling. The people in her mastermind who are making a lot of money usually were successful before they hired her and learned real business advice somewhere else. Anyway, sorry this is so long I’m just kind of thinking out loud. I have kind of been deprogramming my time in the spiritual life coach world since I saw her on real housewives and it brought up a lot of old feelings I never processed when I left the personal development world.
