I am landing in a period of my life where I feel like redifining my place on the planet, my place in my own life, sensing into what I truly like, truly love, what makes me joyful and vibrant. 

My passion is to support families. Acting as a lighthouse in shoppy seas for the parents to find their own…

At the moment I am LOVING Simone Grace Seol - she is authentic, bold and kinda rough, she pivots whenever she wants and says what she thinks. I admire that kind of depth of courage and integrity - she walks her talk.  She uses BOTH writing and video in easy to throw together DIY ways and yet they are VERY powerful. She doesn’t “stay in her lane” and covers a range of topics: nervous system, business and mysticism and psychology - in ways that are very resonant for me.

@Mira Rao Same. She's grown in a totally diff way.  I've been watching even when she's said some things that made me go.. "huh"? that's not going to land well... and I love what she shows up with.

@Mira Rao I followed her for a while, but then I read a few posts of her that gave strong manipulation vibes. 

I went online to do some research about her, and reddit has a lot of comments on Simone's shady tactics. 

Here's one of them: https://www.reddit.com/r/Li...

This may not be the best link, though.

@Dipanshu Rawal thanks for bringing this forward. I never felt right about her, but I chalked it up to my own envy and the fact that I reached out to her about collaboration and she never responded 😞 I guess maybe I dodged a bullet...

Also, I understand that she sells lifetime membership (expensive) to an ongoing program and that kind of biz model never sat right with me: how can a business sustainably promise to support members who pay only once, for life? Seems like it would become natural to therefore focus on 's energy on selling, and wowing new members...

Sorry I don't mean to publicly criticize a colleague, but do feel it's right to be publicly discuss a biz model that seems unethical to me.

Woah I just read the Reddit link that 

@Dipanshu Rawal shared... eye opening and a cautionary tale for me and all who coach in a group...

@George Kao hah! I've seen so many of these reddits for SOOOOO many people. And elsewhere.. so many public displays of allllll sorts for nearly every single practitioner/coach etc etc out there.  Even including the likes of Tony Robbins.

Just like nearly every certification that exists out there is b.s -- also an unpopular opinion. Guess I'll get cancelled next. 🪓 lol 

How I approach this stuff now is... I don't have to *like* every single detail about how a person runs their business, but there might be elements of what they are sharing that do resonate. 

So I take the nuggets of wisdom... and leave the rest that doesn't align for me.

And not to defend her because I won't... she has actually changed her business model for her "life time" program.   It used to be $2500, and now she has various tiers. She's certainly ruffled feathers in previous years... mine included and there have been moments where I've wanted to connect with her personally and ask her wtf she thought she was and what she was doing.. but then I remembered... I have my own business to worry about... and her problems aren't my problems.

I really trust and believe that the inauthentic players always get what is coming to them. 💜

@Heather Tobin great response.  Yes, take what resonates, leave the rest!

I've only come to Simone's work in the past year, and I do appreciate what she shares on her instagram. A lot of it is common sense reminders for me. 

Having said that, I scanned the reddit post. I don't know what to think, nor do I actually care enough to deep dive into it. 

I've witnessed a couple remarkable peers being taken down with wild, cruel, untrue or overly inflated accusations that have taken them years to recover from, so I always hold a bit of scepticism when reading threads like that. 

Not saying it's true/not true, I just don't like online mobbings and tear downs of public figures.

I also think it's perfectly appropriate to limit comments/delete comments on your own posts. I know this isn't the popular opinion, but in what world did we agree that all ideas/opinions/wisdom we share MUST be open to public commentary by any and all strangers on the internet. And that we must then moderate/placate? Absolutely not!
