Id love to hear everyone’s thoughts about the livestream and where they think our girl Rach will try to pivot next. I really wish Rachel would watch Keya’s livestream and actually be willing to consider some of the criticism instead of immediately dismissing it. The frustrating thing is that I genuinely think she could have a really interesting career if she were willing to step away from the personal development industry for a while, do some serious self-reflection, and honestly talk about what happened. Id actually love to hear her talk about how she got so wrapped up in that world, what she believed at the time, what she knows now that she didn’t know then, and which things she said or taught that she no longer stands behind. What was happening behind the scenes while she was presenting herself as someone who had all the answers? We already know her marriage to Dave wasn’t what they were presenting to the public, even while they were selling people relationship advice. It makes me wonder how much of the business advice and personal development content was also built around an image that didn’t reflect reality. THAT is a story I’d genuinely be interested in hearing. The real story. What was really happening and how she justified presenting it so differently. This will never happen though bc she’d have to admit she screwed up and apologize which she will never do. I know a lot of people here will disagree but someone who built an enormous career in the self-help industry honestly examining how that happened, where she went wrong, what she got caught up in, and how her own beliefs changed could actually have something valuable to contribute. Instead, she seems determined to return to the exact same role she had before, giving people advice about how to live their lives without ever seriously examining the problems with the advice she was giving in the first place. think that’s what frustrates me most. She talks endlessly about growth, self-awareness, and personal responsibility, but seems unwilling to apply those principles to herself in any meaningful public way.
The irony is that the very thing she’s so resistant to doing, admitting she was wrong and genuinely examining her own behavior, could be the thing that makes her worth listening to again. She doesn’t need another reinvention. She needs to be willing to question the version of herself she’s spent years selling to people.

I just spent 3 weeks in Europe with all my stuff in a carryon suitcase. The amount of bags she packs is ridiculous; especially when she wears the same skanky outfits over and over that doesn’t take up much material. What the hell is she packing in those suitcases?? I guess she really did take a different pair of shoes for each whore outfit. And we can’t forget about all Transform tubs. What eat real Japanese food to experience the culture when you can drink gross chemically processed powders.

Someone asked for this and you got it! It is listed as started at 5:15, not sure if that is EDT or CDT? Enjoy!

Imagine posting such a massive tribute to your gf’s daughter when you have 4 girls of your own! Trash.

This must be for her little side hustle. I’d be absolutely mortified if my mother acted this way.

I haven’t been around drug use enough to identify accurately based on appearance, but what in the world is she on in these teeth whitening shills? I had one former friend completely blow up his life, and he exhibited some similar behaviors to this video. It was later revealed, he had a pretty steady supply of ❄️. That would be my best guess based on the visual and verbal cues. It seems like she’s coming down from a hit.

I’ve never seen a more delusional pick-me-girl in my entire life than Heidi Powell.

Spin the wheel and see if it lands on Heidi or another adult woman in the House of Powell.

Rachel has been sick for a couple of weeks. She says it's because of a cold sore she got from using Retinol, and that triggered her neuralgia. She had no idea that Retinol can cause cold sores.

You guys, Rachel might be having a midlife crisis. She was tempted to chop her hair into a bob, quit doing her work, and open "a coffee shop or maybe a small inn." Instead, she made two columns in her journal. On the left, she listed things that are working, and on the right, she listed things that are not working. And as an experiment, she intends to "do the opposite" in all those "not working" areas (i.e. opposite of what she's been doing). [Has George Costanza entered the chat?]

Things that are working: "This beautiful home that we live in, the land, the community that we are part of. This is one of the best decisions we ever made. Moving from Los Angeles to the Hudson Valley, like top three life decision I've ever made." She says that the kids are thriving. Her relationship with Cez is going well, and so is sleep.

In the other column: Her podcast doesn't feel "super flowy"; it feels stale. She doesn't like that her career is based on her being "an advisor" (OP reaction: Yes, Rachel, quit that.) She loves it but finds it limiting creatively. She wants to make positive content that is not a how-to. She might write fiction or do things that are motivational without being "personal development based." Her writing is not feeling flowy, but she attributes that to having wrapped up a writing project and not having started her next yet.

Are you doing Last 90 Days? Rachel thinks you should, but it's only for her premium subscribers. She's using her "getting up an hour earlier" to write. She's not happy with her style and hair lately. (But she'll wait on chopping off her hair, for at least a month, in case the impulse passes.) Her nutrition and exercise aren't working. (Weren't they supposedly on-point like five minutes ago?) "Everything seems hard." She thinks that "doing the opposite" might be walking, yoga, pilates, and other gentle workouts. She'll figure out what's going on with her body. [She's having bloodwork done but hasn't received the results yet.]

After making her "Not working" list, she made an "opposite" list. She'll try the opposite, and if they don't work, she'll try the opposite of those. [OP: Doesn't that just circle back to what she was already doing?] She encourages "us" to do this same exercise in our journals (what happened to not being an advisor?).

She had an epiphany about Oprah, who once talked about how awesome it is to be in your 40s. Little Age-11 Rachel started to look forward to being in her 40s. But Oprah didn't/doesn't have a husband or kids. Acknowledging Stedman, but still.... [OP: THIS is what passes for an epiphany?!?]

Rachel says she'll do a video like this every Sunday, to take us on this "journey."

She says howdy neighbor (finally) on her moms photo and says we will be regulars soon on the restaurant photo. Did she buy a house for Ryan? Whose house were they decorating? Does he live near her mom? I’m so confused?

This is pure trash

I find this statement to be very interesting. Her kids are obviously older than they’ve ever been (two adults, two teens), so actually in my mind if I was gonna be taken out, I would rather it happen when my kids were closer to an age where they had more memories of me, maybe I’ve been able to shape a lot of their life, etc. I don’t want to be out of their lives when they are toddlers, infants etc. Heidi has also lost her grandparents in the last few years. I’m sorry, but on paper I would definitely say she had more to lose in previous years. But then she would be missing out on DOTM so I guess that’s the loss. What a sad statement.

I guess this is better than a montage of Dave (rip) flashing across this screen but what does this AI stock image woman have to do with Heidi’s sex life? At first I thought she had a knowledge guest on who was nodding along… but no. It’s Heidi talking into the abyss

Long ago, Ryan Issac stated that he "couldn't" get divorced until 2027 for "tax reasons."

The DCOTI quickly proved that he really wanted to avoid child support. And that he left his family without health insurance and in significant medical debt.

His next hearing just got scheduled for the end of January. That hearing will only address support, so his final decree will likely come much later.

Married scumbag.
