The Rise & Fall of Rachel Hollis | The Most Hated Self Help Guru

[@notthegoodgirl]

Hi, all! Two questions: 1. Do you prefer documentary styles where the creator is on camera telling some of the story, or letting the story be told through images and video only? 2. How's the audio? I've been working hard to make it better and not so shrill. 🤪 Thank you in advance to anyone who gives feedback! I really appreciate it. ♥️

[@zuzumontague]

Why not do both?! It’ll make you more relatable! No pun intended. We love content creators that we feel are speaking directly to us, so if you can show both your beautiful face and mix it with clips it’ll definitely sell!!!

[@hollib3900]

I love your videos and I like whichever format feels like the right one for you to make. Using clips and images and then coming on for commentary is something I see any people do, depending on how they feel about being in front of the camera. I like that format, but I always find your videos engaging whichever you do.

My self help advice to Rachel: Don’t call yourself “self made through hard work” if you married a millionaire at 21 🤷🏻‍♀️

Right!!!!!! How dare she

[@rosesarered9249]

Exactly Rachel isn't realistic other mom's can not relate to Rachel . It was all easy for her having a rich husband. Having her whole 8 hours of sleep at night while the nanny takes care of the kids. Normally us mom's we are so busy raising taking care of our kids cleaning our homes,Get laundry done , cooking oh and the sleepless nights especially when having a new born baby. Rachel had housekeeper and the nanny's did all the momma's work. No way Rachel can get away and claim she did it all on her own.

I am an ICU nurse of 30 yrs. Despite being a single mum and having had a work accident and been diagnosed with life threatening pancreatitis and Addison’s disease & requiring years of hospitalisation and multiple life threatening surgeries, I continued to push myself and worked so hard I nearly killed my self all because I was being told and ended up believing was I just wasn’t trying harder enough. I am now palliative & mostly bed ridden and most of my days I am only capable of breathing, smiling and laughing with my magnificent 19yo daughter. My family and friends pretty much all said I needed to stop feeling sorry for myself and get back to work. These unrealistic expectations do gooders like Rachel mouth off about can be dangerous. Listen to your body, mind and soul and take other’s advice with a grain of salt. Everyone is different. She is trying to make money by making others feel bad about themselves. Just my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own. As a rule I don’t like judging people when your haven’t walked in their shoes but Rachel now takes the cake.

Wow😢

[@shellbellhealing]

​@MommeeNMee she's taking something that should be positive and making it negative and toxic. I overcome severe auto immunity and reclaimed my health by focusing on root cause healing but her approach doesn't allow for people who are sick. Because there were days like you that I couldn't push through and couldn't stay positive and on those days I jad to give myself extra love and compassion and focus on real self care which includes REST. The life of a chronically sick person is significantly different to most people and in my opinion she has zero right to speak on behalf of those who are fighting disease when she's not walked that walk. Sending love and prayers to you ❤❤

[@breck6520]

“She’s the woman who cleans my toilets” … the last woman who “cleaned my toilets” owns her cleaning company, employs several people, & makes more money than I do. She also has a heart of gold and LOVES what she does. A few years ago we had to move my grandpa out of his home that he’d lived in for 50 years- it needed a deep clean to say the very least and that’s when we found her. I swear, when she was done with the place we thought the walls had been painted and new flooring installed, it was that clean - the woman has a GIFT - along with many people who make cleaning their career. She saw it as a way to help people, to make their lives easier, while doing something she’s good at & getting paid for it. I’m not trying to imply that every housekeeper/house cleaner owns their business or loves their job, but they are never just “someone who cleans toilets”

[@danieldavis3035]

The only issue I have is calling Rachel Hollis 'privileged.' Having done missionary work all over the world, I can guarantee you that anyone from a third world country considers anyone living in the U.s. as privileged. When you point a finger at someone else, you have 3 fingers pointed back at you. Sorry, this isn't in reference to the original poster, lol.

[@candycigarette7202]

I love this! My MIL has the ultra-cleaning gift, she did our house when my partner & I had surgery within a week of each other and I swear the place actually glowed when she was done. It was Instagrammably immaculate. The carpets were like cashmere. Even the light looked crisp and fresh. Her place is the same, she genuinely finds it meditative. I was a cleaner on and off for ages and I enjoyed it: I don't have the ultra-cleaning gift but I found it satisfying to get things neat & organized, liked being active and being able to go off in a daydream while I worked & if we had a living wage, maybe I would be doing it still.

You nailed it. We don't all have the same 24h. I am living in the US but I am originally from the Caribbean. In my culture, the nuclear family model is not popular. It's not just mom, dad, children. If I were to have kids, most of their day to day care would not fall on me. My mom, my MIL, my sister, my cousins, the whole village, everyone would help here and there. I would be busy with the children, yes, but not to the level I see that American women go through. I see that most American women are basically doing it alone, with a partner that helps somewhat, and that surprised me a lot when I came here. Women cleaning, cooking, changing diapers only days after giving birth and sometimes returning to work six weeks after. Blows my mind. When you're doing it alone or with little help, your 24h looks way different than mine.

Thank you! That girl has never had to struggle. She married a million and doesn’t have to worry about living paycheck to paycheck. Lack of finances leads to depression because it’s super competitive out here and it’s hard to find a job if one does not have a hundreds of years of experience. And even if one finds a somewhat of a good paying job, millions are still living paycheck to paycheck. And even with that, many are suffering from non curable diseases and have to make sure they don’t get fired just because they have to go through all these scans, and bloodwork. She has no idea how hard it is out here. She doesn’t have to worry about that at all. These things leads to depression, so just even to take time to breath in the midst of the struggle is a huge deal and a accomplishment for many of us who are going through hardships. I’m not knocking her for marrying a millionaire. Good for her but she has no right to put others down with her toxic positivity because it doesn’t help anyone especially those suffering with depression and suicidal thoughts.

Although I believe his polished online personality to be a facade, Dave is smart and knows not to publicly talk shit on his cleaning lady, diss the industries that brought him success (how Rachel did with MLM), and plagiarize famous authors multiple times.

Because simple "good luck" isn't marketable and scalable. Sometimes things don't work out, period. No explanation needed. We learn lessons in life, and when you build your castle on a foundation of sand, it will collapse. I.e. when you're lying to yourself to chase something you may not even be truly passionate about, you'll burn yourself out, and things won't work out. Has nothing to do with something as arbitrary and random as luck. True passion can fuel a person to overcome any obstacle. False positivity on the other hand cannot; it leads to burnout, failure, and to add insult to injury, guilt and shame for thinking "it's all your fault" and "you just don't have what it takes".

This. I get annoyed at all or nothing on either side of this argument. Hard work and pushing yourself IS part of life-tribal cultures today evidence this, and history does too. You do need to go out and perform. AND, we ALSO live in a severely maligned culture, very different from the community-based one our ancestors lived in. They went into the red tent and rested for a week. Community held new moms by caring for babies. I always veered away from this woman because the title of her book felt hyper critical (not to mention, Im a woman, not a girl). As someone in recovery for 20 years, I see someone afflicted by the disease of addiction. I think it’s helpful to engender compassion for Hollis as well. We can hold limits, and accountability with this in mind too. Be well.

As a British person looking at the Rachel Hollis fiasco from the outside. I can say that it is clear that Hollis was contemptuous of her target audience of chubby rubes with dull lives, duller husbands and disappointing unphotogenic children from the start. She saw them as sheep to be shorn from the very beginning. It was never a case of someone sincere getting corrupted over time by money and fame.She probably wanted to call her first book: "Girl, Wipe Your Bottom" to reflect her private low opinion of her fan base but was talked out of it by the publishers.

[@joanodom2104]

So, with the first $10,000 she "earned" she blew it all on a Vuitton bag...a status symbol of the most shallow amongst us? THAT is the epitome of PRIVILEGE. We who aren't wed to a millionaire would have paid our rent/mortgage, daycare, repaired our cars, paid off a credit card balance or if we wished to blow even, say, $2000, would have included our children by taking a little holiday WITH THEM. Disney comes to mind. I actually have never owned a credit card, and mentioned that because if I personally owed on one, I wouldn't rest until it had been paid off. I exist as a minimalist and frugality actually comes naturally to me. I can't relate at all to status symbols and feel that prosperity doctrine is absolutely the antithesis of all Jesus taught. Ugh.

And the first thing I do is always go to Goodreads to figure that stuff out, and people were sounding off. When I read about that horribly toxic relationship that she committed to for life, I was flabbergasted. And not only that, but she just speaks through so much white middle-class to upper-class privilege and never had to do anything complicated in her life. The bottom line was, I was really excited to see this thumbnail in my feed because I really just want to see how it all collapsed after I left the States. This little Goodreads rabbit-hole happened about five years ago and I've been out of the States almost that long so I just forgot about her 😂

I agree that the truth is objective, but the only thing we can control in many situations is how we choose to react to them.

I think that's the only thing Hollis got right, but it was probably a stopped clock thing.

​@@thebat893Unfortunately mindfulness is as much of a money-making gimmick as Rachel Hollis. But yes, it is possible to choose to be happy, though the message Hollis pumped out is too simplistic. Depending how dark things are, it's a moment by moment challenge. The easiest part is acknowledging the dark situation, but it takes effort to nourish hope.

[@DNAndrei]

I would disagree with that, just because of the ways many people use phrases like "live your truth". Often times these are not objective claims, they are life choices meant to help someone lead a more authentic life - such as changing career paths, moving countries, or coming out.

The emotional and verbal abuse an become like a tape playing in your head 24/7; this is what broke me.

According to Rachel Hollis, she now has enough money to retire and never have to work again in her young life. Why doesn't she then?

@@bellona6356 Thank you! I was going to say um it is sort of true that's why there's core beliefs and deconstructing harmful one's with CBT.

[@Catglittercrafts]

@@jclyntoledo I think you misunderstood what Bellona said.

[@ripwednesdayadams]

I busted out laughing in the middle of her speech about how everything you think becomes true. I wonder what it’s like to never have serious health problems or faced any real hardship- but not everyone is that lucky. These people are off their rockers.

[@BunsHouse]

When I saw that I laughed bc of how ridiculous it was. *gee I am really gonna think about beating this incurable chronic illness*

[@aiai-j7i]

I know! All those people suffering in life just brought it upon themselves...they should have done more positive thinking and manifesting! 😂

[@auntbeewannabee4626]

22:00 “if you’re not growing, you’re dying” really makes me think if I’m always looking for a problem I’m gonna find a problem. What’s wrong with just “being”?

[@WaitingtoHit]

YOU'RE DYING, BEVERLY!!!

[@agsweet708]

Being is just fine 🙂

[@jayrhodes3766]

I seriously am surprised I hadn’t stumbled upon your channel until now (yesterday) considering how many documentary style videos I watch. Great work!

[@MissLilRedRooster]

I hate the idea that you're not good enough unless you're always hustling for something else. It's exhausting enough existing in this society, much less doing extra all the damn time and running yourself to the bone to do it. She is so toxic.

that is soooo accurate!

[@MadgeGreen]

What I don't understand is why so many people found this woman to be relatable in the first place!

[@mikeilabiddle1757]

I don't think they found her relatable, I think they found her aspirational. That they too could work hard, find a good husband and have kids while still maintaining a business. Of course she was vague enough in her stories that people from most economic statuses could insert themselves into them, telling the blatant truth about her upbringing, how she got her education and jobs would have shattered the illusion that people of lower socio-economic status could "hustle" their way to her millionaire lifestyle.

[@IsadoraMendesSilva]

i think it's both people who grew up in an environment like hers--white, with money, religious--and this is still how they see their world, and also people who think "if i work hard enough, one day i'll be just like her"

[@eh-i1841]

@@IsadoraMendesSilva there are plenty of black people making money from talking nonsense,n social media.

[@IsadoraMendesSilva]

@@eh-i1841 she literally said she grew up in a non diverse environment so idk what point you're trying to make other than just whataboutism ngl

[@AlienAteIt.MyNoraTees]

Do you think ppl worship celebrities because they are relatable? She was "inspirational". That dopamine fix. The way we create millionaire self help influencers is the same way we create mega churches. They sell hope.

[@raymondkymsuttle]

If she’s so wealthy she could retire why does she need a ‘comeback’ into the public eye? It’s proof that she needs the public affirmation - just a narcissist in search of attention.

[@sirbuffalo]

Well, histrionics need attention, whether it's positive or negative. Narcissists need to be admired and envied. They're after a certain kind of attention.

[@ascensionvaldes1412]
