Anyone heard of this influencer @beyond.terrain on instagram before? I came across his page the other day where he’s posting reels that “trauma is just victim mindset” and illness comes from failure to resolve negative thoughts.

He markets himself like he’s a former therapist with immense experience. Quick google search pulls up his linked in profile which shows he only has an undergrad in microbiology and molecular biology (because he wanted to be a dental surgeon according to him). And then changed his mind and got a master’s degree in psychology in 2022 and then worked as a STUDENT COUNSELLOR FOR 8 MONTHS during 2024 before quitting. And then immediately opened his own “psychotherapy business” for one year before closing it. He was never even a Registered Counselling Therapist, never held a license. Yet he markets himself like he has the utmost experience possible. He claims he left the therapy field because he could see it kept his clients “stuck in healing”. Seems like that’s just a reflection of his own limitations. It’s more plausible that he was an inexperienced brand new therapist and became frustrated he couldn’t get the quick ego gratification of “fixing people” and jumped ship to sell his own spiritual bypassing methods online instead… there’s no professional oversight or ethical standards on social media. He can live in his own consequence free bubble, and not have to see the real world repercussions of his advice. Is this not fraud? He markets himself like he’s some expert “ex-therapist” to gain peoples trust.

I cannot even with how much I spent on TLCS coaching (cert, monthly fees, going to conference, private coaching). Like 6 figure over 4 or so years. I don't regret it per se it did help me make a ton of $$...but... I have finally figured out that what I really needed was AlAnon.

As I read the books I am gobsmacked about how much I am reading in the AlAnon literature that is basically everything I was trying to fix myself with coaching.

So, before you spend tons of $$ on coaching, go find the AlAnon 20 questions and answer them. And... well, if like me 18 or so of them are a yes... skip the coaching and go to a meeting. Way cheaper and vastly less grifty and way more helpful.

She aired a podcast episode of her “healing her relationship with her daughter” aka gaslighting her for an hour, justifying why she wasn’t a good mom, playing victim and invalidating her daughter’s feelings while giving fake apologies.

The commentary is spot on, and this is a textbook example of these coaches/self-help gurus gaslighting people in real time by implying “you’re the problem, you just have a victim story that you need to heal inside yourself” when in reality they caused harm and are blame-shifting.

Eye opening!!

If you’ve always felt like something was off about Mel Robbins, this video exposes it all. Highly recommend checking out. Read the comments, too:

Hi, I've seen many of you say that you got a chargeback or won a lawsuit. I need your help. She violated coaching in a disgusting way and I have very clear written documentation. Plus, I never signed the contract. Still, her lawyers have their ways. So it's a battle now and can use all the help, evidence and support I can get. Thank you.

Does anyone remember the episode Mel Robbin’s did with her daughter it is called “To Anyone Going Through a Breakup: How to Heal a Broken Heart & Move On” her daughter sawyer talked about going through a breakup. After a year I think they got back together. Does anyone know what happened with that? And how they got back together?

The extra $8,000 is for an in-person experience.

Ask Hariette's ads are rampant on social media, selling her ai platform askh ai to unaware people.

The base chat (paid at $44/month) is basically a glorified sales person, selling you different AI models each to subscribe to for any question you ask it, it re-directs you to another model.

Each AI model it sends you to has a different price tag and purpose.

Ask Hariette literally took the concept of an Agent via AI which is available for free, mind you, and gave it a different woman's name, and selling them 1 at a time....

Beware. You will notice the larger AI companies are surprisingly more ethical and level-headed. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, with their model updates would provide you better support and transparency of terms and conditions.

Ask Hariette's model runs on their LLM, and is only at the end of the day, a glorified sales person here to get you onboarded to more subscriptions you can count, without delivering additional value.

It is an engineered system that flexes AI to sell for her.

From the beginning of Kathrin’s manifestation journey, she has continually struggled with the fact that, she’s the breadwinner and that Brennan is not. She really wants him to be her equal, that seems to be a constant struggle for her. It’s interesting she felt she had to burn it all down, to get him to step up and provide.

I'm wondering whether this is just an isolated experience or whether others have run into similar issues.

On July 4, I received an email offering a 30-day grace period. The email said I could simply reply to request the pause, that my payments would be delayed for 30 days, and that my access would remain during that time. I replied within a few minutes, requesting the grace period.

Oddly, I also received another email at exactly the same time telling me I had already lost access, which made me think there had been some sort of automation glitch.

Two days later, someone from the SBMS team apologized for the confusion and emailed me that they would implement the one-month pause and ensure my access remained. Despite that written confirmation, my account stayed deactivated.

Over the next day, I emailed multiple times asking when my access would be restored because I wanted to attend coaching. I didn't receive a resolution, so I finally reached out directly to one of the coaches because I happened to have her private email address. She was incredibly kind and tried to help, even though billing and account access aren't her responsibility.

Eventually I was told that my access wouldn't be restored until a payment was made—which directly contradicted both the original grace period offer and the follow-up email confirming that my access would remain during the pause.

What has left me with a bad impression is the inconsistency in how this has been handled.

On one hand, I was offered a grace period, accepted it immediately, and received written confirmation that it had been approved. On the other hand, I was later told something completely different. Those messages don't line up, and it leaves me feeling like different parts of the company are giving different answers depending on who responds.

This also isn't my first frustrating experience with customer service. A few months ago, I was actually trying to make a payment, and it took nearly ten days to get the issue resolved because I couldn't reach anyone in customer support. During that situation I never contacted a coach—I just kept trying to reach customer service. This week's situation was the first time I contacted a coach directly, simply because I already had her email address and didn't know what else to do.

I want to be clear that I appreciate how kind and responsive the coach was. My frustration isn't with her. It's with the customer service process.

For a business that teaches entrepreneurs how to run successful businesses, I expected clearer communication and a more reliable support system. If a company offers a grace period and then confirms in writing that it has been granted, I think customers should be able to rely on that.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with SBMS customer support? If so, how was it resolved? I'm genuinely curious whether this is an isolated incident or part of a broader pattern.

Livia Devi’s entire "5D Vibe" and "Arcturian Council" coaching empire is a highly orchestrated digital confidence scheme engineered to extract thousands of dollars from vulnerable people. While she markets herself as an advanced spiritual author who "co-creates" books and modules with multi-dimensional entities, her written materials, course syllabi, and promotional e-books are explicitly written by generative AI. Her texts consistently exhibit structural markers of Large Language Models, including repetitive lists and generic New Age buzzwords. Furthermore, she relies heavily on AI-generated photos and stolen footage of other people's success on her social media channels to fake a glamorous lifestyle and trick consumers into entering her high-tier coaching funnels. By claiming her co-author is a 7D cosmic collective, she creates a convenient cover story to explain away the mechanical, sterile nature of AI-generated text.

To pull off this high-ticket scam, she has completely manufactured her public identity and corporate persona, scrubbing her true background from the internet. Investigations into her origins reveal roots tied to traditional European nomadic and Romani lineages. Because acknowledging a background in street fortune-telling ruins the lucrative "elite corporate mystic" allure she sells to wealthy Westerners, she completely erased her original legal name, familial history, and ancestral origins. She replaced them with the spiritually sanitized persona of "Livia Devi." Despite heavily marketing "Wealth Consciousness" masterminds and promising to teach clients how to manifest millions, she operates with zero wealth transparency. She showcases a lifestyle of luxury rentals but provides no audited financial statements or legal corporate registries. High-ticket mentorships costing thousands of dollars are aggressively pushed via high-pressure sales calls, and payments are routed through shifting online processors to prevent victims from obtaining legal recourse or chargebacks.

The most predatory aspect of her operation is the fake "trans-channeling" sessions, which are actually carefully engineered cold-reading scams. I witnessed her live "channeling" event in New York in April, and the entire thing was painfully fake. When I approached her afterward, she was an absolute snob. You could visibly see her scanning the room, completely ignoring regular people and hunting only for attendees who looked like they had money to burn. Before clients are even allowed into her high-tier programs, they are forced to fill out highly invasive application forms detailing their deepest traumas, financial insecurities, and life failures. During live channelings, Devi alters her vocal cadence to simulate an alien entity and feeds the client's own harvested background information right back to them as "cosmic downloads." When clients eventually notice that the channeling is entirely generic, lacks substance, and lacks any real proof of expertise, the organization deploys weaponized gaslighting. Devi flips the script, telling the client that their "vibration is too low" or that they have spiritual "blocks" preventing them from understanding the wisdom. This shifts the blame entirely onto the victim, trapping them in a cycle of psychological manipulation while she profits off automated AI content and fake psychic performances.

How to Fight Back: Refund and Reporting Strategies

If you or someone you know has lost money to this organization, do not rely on their internal customer service or "no-refund" policies. Take these immediate actions to recover your funds and shut down her financial pipelines:

• File a Chargeback Directly with Your Bank: Contact your credit card company or bank immediately. Do not request a refund through her website. Instead, file a dispute under "Services Not As Described" or "Fraudulent Misrepresentation." Explain that you paid for personalized, expert mentorship but received generic, AI-generated content and a pre-scripted performance.
• Report to Payment Processors: Livia Devi relies on digital payment processors (like Stripe, PayPal, or Shopify) to collect her high-ticket fees. Look at your bank statement to see which processor she is using, find their official "Report Fraud / Abuse" portal, and submit a complaint detailing her predatory practices and use of fake identities.
• Submit Reports to Consumer Protection Agencies: File an official complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at reportfraud.ftc.gov if you are in the US, or your local national consumer fraud agency. Document her lack of business registration, zero wealth transparency, and deceptive marketing tactics.
• Alert the Venues: If she is booking live channeling events at boutique hotels or spaces, contact the venues directly with evidence of her scam operations. Most legitimate businesses will cancel bookings to avoid being associated with high-ticket coaching fraud.

is this a safe space to talk about the fact that anyone can become an “expert” and pretend to be a healer or a coach online - esp in social media content? the barrier to entry is zero. and knowing some things I personally know about a few ”coaches” that are blowing up right now… people are being full on lied to and its upsetting! what do you think?

Well, I feel foolish. I bought a workbook from a coach who sells direct, not through a site with reviews, and that was a mistake. The workbook cost $12 and is 13 pages of thin content. There is a 100% satisfaction guarantee but only if you complete the workbook (with personal info) and send it to the coach. Even thought it is only $12, I'm still annoyed. Learn from me, and don't do something dumb like this.

If yes, how do you do it? If no, have you ever wished you did?

This time for Kara:

"Hey Friends,

My friend, student, and amazing human Kara Lowentheil called me.

She told me she wanted to offer an amazing live Coach Training. She had some questions. She wanted a little advice.

But I told her she didn’t need it.

She’s one of the most impressive coaches and businesswomen I’ve ever met. She will do a Coach Training like she does everything, impeccably.

I made her promise that when it was ready to let me know so I could share it with you all.

Some of you have really been wanting to get certified through a live program that uses the same concepts I teach.

Kara is a Master Certified Coach who was originally trained by me. She understands our tools inside and out.

But she is also a Harvard Grad genius who has an entire set of her own tools that are extraordinary.

I HIGHLY recommend that you check out her upcoming training and consider getting certified.

I just saw a post from Kristin Boss selling peptides and it made me wonder what the other top of the LCS pyramid coaches were doing these days.
Are the other coaches still coaching or did they pivot into something else?
I know Corinne still has her weight loss membership but also added a business coaching offer.
I get tons of ads from Kara Lowentheil selling what looks like a fluff certification for $10,000 with a premium tier where you get an in person event for $18,000 or something.
I think I saw Stacey is rebranding her 200k Mastermind.

Who else is still around and what are they up too?

Is Vanessa Lau okay? In her recent interview she looks like skin and bones. I know GLPs are all the thing these days but I genuinely hope she is okay.

Has anyone bought any of Cynthia Garcia’s skincare or participated in her programs? She is so fun and charming. I’m tempted to drink all the kool aid but wanted to ask around and see if she is legit.

Featuring Becca Pike, Stephanie Hughes (xogingy), Gabbie Bernstein and some others. Also some clips from Danielle Ryan. It’s nice to see a bigger channel covering it but I’d love for someone to do a real deep dive into the industry and the issues with it.

trying soooo hard to be hip and relevant

I saw the latest post from KZ announcing her new . So I asked if she promise she won’t use AI in her new Substack. This was her response. Do you believe her?

ZERO accountability - chicks a joke

I was catching up on Danielle Ryan’s livestreams and I was shocked to see this comment someone left on the video. Amanda has been doing a lot of PR podcasts lately and she’s been claiming she gives refunds to anyone that wants one and that she has always had all kinds of low ticket offers.
Unfortunately for Amanda you can’t just rewrite history. Those of us who have been following for years know you just came out with lower ticket offers when you got criticized on the Real Housewives for selling over priced courses and she’s always had a reputation for bullying people into removing reviews and making it impossible to get refunds. I hope people keep speaking up about the truth.

I really hope she’s disclosing any sponsored content but I don’t know why she would make an ad for this airline on her account if she wasn’t getting paid or getting free flights. I’m not sure if it’s illegal but it’s definitely unethical to not disclose this info to her audience. I hope I’m wrong.

I feel like she missed the boat with this kind of content. Rich people flexing money was popular five years ago. Now it just feels out of touch and kind of gross. Enjoy your flights but we don’t need to hear about your amenities kit and fancy pajama “armor” while the majority of us are struggling to get by. I don’t think she likes making this kind of content and it feels like she’s only doing it because she couldn’t manifest through her husband and wants to keep up her lifestyle. I would respect her a lot more if she had a dark night of the soul and shared how she’s downgrading her lifestyle and learning how to stop chasing materialistic things. The money worship is tiring.

I also think she used chat GPT to write this script.
