  • Grade A grifter nonsense

    Basic, wellness drivel! Why people still listen to this is beyond me. Rachel is a great story teller but the self indulgence is too much for me to bare! I can respect listening to people who are actually qualified in something but as far as I can tell, all Rachel is qualified in is having a social media following. Why are we listening to these grifters?!

Rachel seems to keep herself in disempowering place led by her own trauma struggles and instead of empowering herself through healing she puts responsibility on everyone else and makes it her ... more

    Male hating while advocating for men in women’s spaces and the destruction of her native country and its sacred traditions through illegal migration. I fear she might have dug a hole too big to crawl out of.
