    I am so disappointed in my 15K investment (CAD). First of all I was going through 2 years of chronic illness at the time. I had to pay for my surgery and 2 years off work on my line of credit. It was nearly maxed out and I told the sales lady on the phone that's all I had. If there were hidden costs I could not do it. She confirmed that there would be no extra costs. In the program the type of advertising they used was ******** ads. These are not cheap in order to get results. I could not continue due to the extra costs. My ads were not generating people even with their help. I was so heartbroken during the most challenging time of my life. 3 Years later I'm so disappointed in my purchase as it's caused a lot of financial stress. I wish I had the funds that I used for the course. I wish I brought it to my partner before I made the choice, but the sales lady also convinced me otherwise. Also, you don't get much time with *******. Just a group zoom call once a week to ask questions that she may or may not answer. The coach I was paired up with knew I was stuck on a niche and she did not help me discover a new one like I had hoped. There's very limited time with them and so you're left on your own. Every one learns differently and needs different types of support and this course was not a good fit for me. There were so many lies before and during the enrolment process and lack of support throughout.

    Hi *******,Thank you for bringing this to my attention.Emotional facts:Im so sorry you are feeling so disappointed 3 years later after enrolling into the 10k in 30 day program, still carrying this heartbroken feeling around my program, business, brand, team as well as your decision to enroll.Hurts my heart to see you have been carrying this ever since. 3 years is a Really thats a LONG time. Ouufff.I am also sorry to hear you have regrets about your decision in joining the program and did not feel my team or my limited support was what you really needed. I am also sorry to hear that you FEEL my sales team lied to you and that my program and the support offered you during the enrollment process lacked the support you were hoping and wishing for.Regardless it suc*ks when you hope for something to work and it doesnt work out the way you hoped, wished and EXPECTED it to and believed it would help you solve your problems when it didnt.Su*ks even more when your credit cards are maxed and this is kind of your last resort and youre already it sounds financially and physically stressed position to feel like you were taken advantage of and LIED to. I CERTAINLY understand THAT feeling and disappointment! I also understand feeling the pressure of financial responsibility and how stress CAN & DOES negatively affect not just ones health, but your ability to focus, to implement and sometimes just even think clearly let alone run or START a business. Im so sorry you went through all of that *******, during the hardest time of your life.Regardless of how I respond here, your feelings are valid *******, regardless if I OR ANYONE else in the world agrees with them. I hope you take that with you from this review experience. And NOTHING I SAY about the facts actually really matter when someone is in chronic pain suffering from chronic illness or unprocessed *************** In my own experience and research I find that the cause of chronic illnesses and mental illnesses all stem from unprocessed trauma, something I now have extensive and deep understanding.Unfortunately healing and addressing trauma is simply not taught in schools or churches or anywhere really unless we look for it and ask for help with it specifically.The chronic illness you mentioned started BEFORE you joined my program? Is that right?Chronic illness is usually a sign of something MUCH deeper. Usually undressed trauma. When people are unconscious of it, it comes out as atta*king, blame, unfairness, entitlement, feeling betrayed, unseen, unheard, anything and anyone that TRIGGERS the parts of ourselves that were never seen and held with kindness care ***** and compassion. gets triggered and gets a voice, it expresses itself, it makes itself seen and heard. And is usually an unconscious cry for help. It can feel like an emergency. Chronic illness is the body screaming out emergency. Its simply asking for loving attention. Only the way we ASK for help is just as OLD or young as the time the trauma occurred. It can come across as a really poor way of asking for our needs to be met. I know because I have done that myself.And its also totally unconscious, until you bring it to the light.Ive had my fair share of emergenc*ies and physical symptoms due to stress and its NO FUN AT ALL! Can take sometimes YEARS to fully heal from. YEARS. Trauma is not a quick fix. Its a slow unraveling and peeling back the layers and sitting with a lot of uncomfortable feelings, integration, radical honesty, radical responsibility and radical self love. In action. One has to actually be WILLING to do the inner work and it is excruciatingly painful, emotionally painful.That is why most people avoid it and project it outwards onto others. G0D consciousness seeing itself and not liking what is seen, or better put not conscious of that part in the outer reflection of another.And humans are wired to avoid pain.The 10k program was in NO WAY a healing trauma program. There was NO mention of healing trauma ANYWHERE on the 10k website either. You cannot visit the website to verify that 3 years after the fact because I took it down.I no longer run the 10k mastermind and have not since 2021. I decided to create more easily accessible courses self study format course offerings at more affordable price points for people to access the life changing content that was only previously available in the 10k program. While in my own healing journey I focussed on healing trauma and supporting others with unspeakable neglect and abuse, it was not reflective or accurate for me to continue a mastermind that was not reflective of the depth of my work. So I ended that program.I now only work with a handful of 1-1 clients in leadership roles most of my 1-1 work in the past few years has been geared around healing trauma. I currently run an intimate Soul Sister mastermind in which I support people personally to implement some of the content from my course content and those clients focussing on business building have all done extensive inner work prior to focussing on business building.I also decided NOT to manage a large team of sales people either. I dont offer free sales calls either. I simplified my life and business and there is no way for people to access my energy or wisdom or expertise without coming directly through me and paying for a consultation. Problems solved.Regardless, it su*cks when you hope for something to work and it doesnt work out the way you hoped, wished and EXPECTED it to.Su*ks even more when your credit cards are maxed and this is kind of your last resort and youre already it sounds financially and physically stressed position and YOU FEEL like you were taken advantage of and LIED to. I CERTAINLY understand THAT feeling and disappointment! Boy do I ever! I also understand feeling the pressure of financial responsibility and how stress DOES negatively affect not just your health, but your ability to focus, to implement and sometimes just even think clearly to get daily tasks done let alone run or START a new business.Im SO sorry the program was not what you needed and did not fit your UNIQUE situation.10k in 30 Day Mastermind Program Facts:I am really curious as to why I am not being able to find ANY, not one email from you in the companys support inbox asking for help or any correspondence from you at all until now, 3 years AFTER you enrolled from the program in May of 2021? Super curious about that.The 10k in 30 day mastermind was a 90 day safe space online mastermind focussing on mindset mastery, marketing and sales for new coaches to help them breakthrough visibility blocks, shame, fear and join a community of amazing support to implement proven simple processes for putting packaging, marketing and selling coaching services and breaking through inner blocks, self doubt & fear around putting your G0D given purpose out into the world.It never was a healing trauma program although it did address some core issues with removing limiting beliefs, mindset mastery and confidence building for women entrepreneurs. Ones relationship to God is #1 and outside of that learning skills to release resistance and EGO traps that separate us from LOVE in action and develop habits for being visible, making offers to people who can say YES is what that mastermind was all about. There are over 140+ video testimonials from women who achieved incredible success with implementing the course content which can be accessed on ******* at any time.Its true my team did teach fb ads in the 10k program however we also offer many other alternatives to helping coaching generate ****************** that DO NOT require paid ads like the 30 day video challenge and other visibility formulas for social media, the offer bible for example that many of our clients have used successfully to grow their coaching business by being visible making offers to people who can say yes WITHOUT using paid ads. Its not necessary but, running ads does make the process go quicker especially if you are starting with 0 audience. Everybody is unique in where they are starting from as an entrepreneur and everyone has different skill sets too and hurdles to overcome to learn and grow from.I will always be a student. I am still learning new things everyday. It is a requirement for any person in any leadership position to be a continous student open to learning.After verifying the fb support group, I only see 1 post from you requesting for help with your ad which one of the mindset mentors ******** actually drafted one up for you right in the fb group. Its actually really quite good, ** looking at the screen shots now. I wonder why you chose to publish a different advertisement than the headline she suggested for you though?In my experience working with women for over a decade on healing shame and helping women transform their darkne*ss into light or their story of abus*e, victimization, and neglect into a testimony as to how G0D works THROUGH us to help others:Some people can and will and some cant and wont.Ill share a little story here because I dont do well with bullies & victims because I never have. My work is about ************************************************* why I started my company to help women overcome fear & thrive to help support them in taking their power back now, making their own money so they can leave abusive relationships and lousy jobs where they are not valued and settle for less like I did long ago.Most victims are unaware of their role in playing out codependency. Some will and can become aware of it and decide to address it. Some simply wont and decide they cant, it would unravel too much, its too hard & too painful. I know because I had to digest this.Healing starts with a decision to take a radical honest look inside and take radical responsibility for our part ( even unconscious wounded traumatized parts we had no say in as a child ) and do something radically different, apply LOVE give ourselves love in those areas we never received.Until we do this, nothing changes. We attract the same ab*usive partners, and reflections in others, respond in the same ways when triggered and the cycle continues.I have experienced and witnessed along with my team RADICAL and I mean radical transformations in women who are willing to become aware and do the deep work necessary in healing. And that was WAYY before I got into trauma work.I love empowering women with the tools and techniques and skills in the area of healing, empowerment and business building and its kind of like a bar of soap.People purchase a beautiful sweet smelling soap in the hopes it will finally rid them of this suff*ring stench. One has to unwrap it to use it for it to be effective. Purchasing the soap on its own here wont do you any good at all if it stays in the wrapper or if you dont get it wet and lather it on yourself in the shower with water.I have also experienced women screaming the soap doesnt work and its a SCA*M and she sold me SOAP and told me it would help and it didnt and decide to be totally unwilling and unable to unwrap or unravel the soap.I learned there are PAYOFFS to hanging onto pain & suff*ring some people are simply unwilling to let go of. Another decision. One in which I am not responsible for. This is called free will.***** was crucified on the cross for sharing the gospel of love. He was stoned, and spit on and crucifi*d for sharing the good news of G0D. And when they kill*d him he was praying to G0D NOT to hold their sins against them for they know not what they do.As an entrepreneur, in business for over 15 years now, I am well aware that this is just part of the job. You can have the greatest intentions, you I can offer soap to people and its NOT your job to take it out of the wrapper and forc* them to use it properly.Some will & some wont. And it doesnt take away from the results and joy and growth and transformation and expansion and GOOD those experience who decide they CAN & WILL.I learned NOT to take things personally. I learned to set healthy boundaries. I learned that its not my JOB to save people. G0d does that. Not me. Not my job.In working with addictions and looking at enabling, co-dependency, parentified children, trauma, triangulation, enmeshment I learnt the only thing that can save ME is G0d. Its not anyones elses job or responsibility either. And God works when YOU GO TO HIM. Not the other way around.When we PLAY G0D for other people or enable them beyond our capacity, we actually remove them from experiencing the suff*ring they endure that makes them reach back out to G0D and we do it out of GUILT, shame, learned behavior from toxic family dynamics, not having boundaries, not being allowed to have needs or ask for our needs to be met, shamed for even having needs and we do it in the name of helping people because that is how we learned to belong and receive love in a toxic family environment. Not our fault. However what we do with this information moving forward.Enabling is not help, and its not empowerment either, and it never leads to real or lasting transformation.I am so grateful to be able to confront and address hard things like some of the reviews here in the BBB and this specific review here today. Now that I have the capacity to address them I am and will continue to with honesty and truth.
