Thank you all so much for being so kind and supportive during the hard times I’ve been experiencing. It feels so good to share some content again. Idk how consistent I’ll be here soon but this has been so good for me! Ily angels!
Im so sorry you’re going through all of that. ❤️ I’ve had some tough shit happen back to back to back over the past couple of years and it’s a lot. Take all the time you need, ride the natural ebb and flow of your emotions, there will always be cyber hugs here for you.
Our family is also going through hard times, it’s the world we live in! You don’t need to ever explain yourself, we all hope that you take care of yourself❤️
Religions are a perfect fit for MLM, if you do well, thank God. If you don't do well, something is wrong with you and obviously, God hates you. It must be soul crushing... A perfect fit for that industry. EDIT: I had paused the video and went to sleep, opened it up and saw your comment, then left that reply. I play the video again and the first point Isabella is making is precisely the same =) I swear I do have original thoughts ahahaha
I literally quit a job on day 1 because they opened up a meeting with a prayer (without even asking me if I was spiritual or religious??) and they were asking God to bless our projects and deadlines 💀 like is that even legal in a workplace? I'm all for religious choices but yikes
As a person who believes in God, I also can't stand faith manipulation. It makes the rest of us who are religious or believe in a higher power look bad. What if I was to stand here and say "Going to college and now working at a print shop changed my life. This is what God wanted me to do so I think you all should do it too. If you don't then you're just a hater of the entire printing industry and God will not reward you." 🙄🤦♀️ yikes. It's so frustrating that these people use faith manipulation to sell their business.
The way they talk about how they convince themselves to stay in the business is eerily similar to me giving myself pep talks to stay in my past abusive relationship
I feel you. I lost my closest cousin to brain cancer after the pandemic started and I was literally stuck laying in bed for 4 days straight after I went to say goodbye, only getting up to use the bathroom when absolutely necessary, no eating or drinking, and I couldn't even bring myself to go to his funeral because I knew it'd damage my already fragile mental state further. Within the next several months, my grandma died too, and she was the main grand parent that I still had around. By that point, I had suffered through the loss of my childhood best friend when we were 18, then 10 years later, my favorite cousin and I was so tired of missing my loved ones that I just pretended and continue to pretend that my grandma is just living life as I live mine cause I don't have the coping skills to confront the reality like I did with my childhood best friend and my cousin. Hang in there. I hope things get better.
I lost my dad in October & my grandma at the end of January. Grief definitely isn't one size fits all for sure, and it's a process. Keep taking care of yourself and do what you need to do to get through the process. :)
I stumbled across a YL Hun on Instagram who claimed in an Instagram story that a cinder block was dropped on her sons head while he was out playing, and she was putting what she deemed “ouchie oil” on his head. I’m so close to calling CPS
Sensing positive vibes and condolences. As someone who has lost 13 people in 6 years and sees grief from the counseling perspective, grief is HARD and a roller coaster. So I hope you continue taking care of yourself❤
If I joined a BUSINESS call that started with a prayer, especially as someone who has never been baptized, I would have jumped off that call SO FAST 😂😂😂😂
Glad you took time for yourself! Your feelings are valid and there's no one way to process grief. Anger can be a scary feeling even though it's a normal human emotion - I know it was a difficult one for me to learn to work with. I enjoy your personality and content and support you doing whatever you need to do to keep yourself well Sending love to you and your family!
Oooohhhh snap!! Girl I was part of this cult. I'm stoked to see your take on it. Thank you for covering them in This video. Also I truly hope you are doing okay. I know that you have been going through a lot lately 💖😔
Thank you so much. I feel more at peace after taking some time for myself and to be around family. I’m still feeling off not gonna lie. But honestly I know it always helps me when I stick with a routine and I genuinely missed working. And I love connecting with you guys! Thank you so much for being here love ☺️
Today is the two year anniversary of my dad’s passing. Thank you so much for saying what you did about grief….it’s such a weird process and some days we are okay, some days we aren’t. Sometimes it just nice not to feel alone. In any case I’m so excited to be able to watch a post from you today! Makes my day a little brighter!!
Unless the job is literally for a religious organization (like a church or something), this, to me, is totally inappropriate. If I were on that zoom call, I'd have been raising my hand and asking if we can move on from the religion bits and onto the business.
I remember being advice to put an EO in my water and drink it but make sure to put it in a glass bottle because it will eat through plastic cups. So I am supposed to put something in my body that melts plastic?! Grief really isn't a once size fits all, you're right. I have been though am abnormal amount of loss since a young age and it has been different almost every time ❤️
The people who tell you to do that are the same ones who are like “COCA COLA CAN BE USED TO CLEAN A CAR ENGINE!” Yeah, seems like essential oils can be, too…
Hello Isabella,I am so happy to see your pretty face again! I am praying for you and your family, I know grief is hard but rely on your loved ones and do what makes you happy. I lost my grandmother last year and I am still grieving, so it is okay to take a break❤️ Warm love and hugs to you
BTW this content makes a difference. When I was thinking of quitting beacbody I found Kiki chanel s videos and was able to realize the truth and I did quit. I'm glad you're back and I'm sorry for everything you're dealing with
It never fails to amaze me the amount of work these women do and the abuse that they put up with for such shit paychecks. I'm an independent contractor for Upwork. 2021 was my first year. I made $6,000 my FIRST year. Paid no fees, didn't do any work I didn't want to do, set my own wage and hours. That to me is a legitamate side hustle. I have a part-time job rn for consistency but even my worst month at this point I'm making like $400 a month on my side hustle. I WISH with all my heart that these women would just go out and use their skills to find something like that!
I hate that people think that way. So many true crime docs are like, “No one would have thought he could be a murderer bc he went to church twice a week!” Okay… Jim Jones RAN a church, what’s your point? And then there are the priests…
That and the “umms”. I don’t want to be judge-y but this was rough. I watch all these videos and I get how some women sign up under certain Huns, because they are engaging/charismatic/and they sell the idea. This wasn’t it. At all.
Every time this lady said anything she followed with an “um” or “ummmmmm” and the “um sniff”….once I heard it I couldn’t stop!!!!!! 😩 these huns be acting like a life coach, health experts, preachers, and your long lost BFF 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥 All of this just screams RED FLAG 🚩
Take care of yourself Isabella, grief is so individual for people. I lost my beautiful dog in a very traumatic way last year and I went through all emotions. I still miss him, feel it's unbelievable that he isn't here and cry because he's not here. Be gentle with yourself. ❤
Me: I need business advice God: Don't join an MLM Me: You're words are a great mystery God: Seriously, don't join them. They are filled with liars Me: How must I interpret thy word? God: Umm. Hello? Is this thing on? Me: I will turn to your son for advice. Jesus: Remember when I threw the money changers out of the temple? Yeah. Stay away from MLMs. Me: Like manna from heaven, I will join Monat. God: Where's my smite button?
I'm so glad to see you back! Grief is hard and there is no path that is the same. You helped me through losing my dad and I am so thankful for you! Sending you all the love and hugs. ❤
The amount of times I heard um from both of those women…… yes great motivational speakers. OMG and the one girl ends her prayer “anyway, Amen” hahaha wtf. And I’m a Christian and this is so weird.
One of my other favorite things with young living and doterra is when you tell them that you or the person in your house is allergic to certain sents and cannot have them in your house at all or around you or them and the rep decides to say "these are naturally derived oils and they are pure so there will be no issues with allergies." my husband is allergic to pine Trees and bushes and anything in the pine family. He has a letter to the actual plant plant so yes he is allergic to anything derived from that plant.
Lol I so feel this I am like your hubby as well & it sucks 😅 I wish these people would listen and respect individuals. It's like someone saying "I'm allergic to peanuts". Gets cut off--"nononono no, don't worry it's all natural peanut oil or all natural no gmo peanuts " ok... Hahaha, like doesnt negate im still allergic to peanuts !!! Lmfao, smh 🤦♀️
So sorry all this ish keeps happening. We appreciate you so much. Please take good care of your mental health! It's so important to be able to give yourself time. All the best hugs and love headed your way. Be well!
Thank you so much for sharing what's happening for you. For whatever it's worth, grief is, by far, the emotion that has taught me the most about myself, but (lest that sound like a platitude) has also been the one I've hated the most and wanted so damn much to be done with. I wish you peace and ease as much as is possible as you find your way through this time.
Nooooope nope nope. If I want to pray, I'm doing so in the privacy of my home or mind, or I'm headed to church. If it is being pushed on me ANYWHERE else, it's not okay. And I was literally sitting here putting tabs on my bible pages while I watched this video! This is why organized religion has such a bad rap. We shouldn't be pushing it onto others who didn't ask for it. It's only serving to push those people who are having doubts or are unsure of where they stand on things FURTHER away from God and away from the word.
I don't know where you're from, but I was born and raised in the South and I love seeing the honest reactions of people when Christianity is pressed into absolutely every facet of everyday life. I don't know where that chick is from either, but this is commonplace here. When I go to the playground and meet a new parent, one of the first questions is always "What church do y'all go to?" Well, actually now not many parents talk to me because I'm usually there with my (female) partner and it's obvious we're a couple, which is totally fine with me because it has spared me from a ton of uncomfortable conversations. LOL!
I lost my mom to brain cancer in 2009. I didn't really cry or feel it for about 5 months. We were very close and she died very quickly. She died before I had children and one thing I learned is that grief is not linear. It comes in waves and in different stages of your life, the pain will feel differently. But one thing I will promise is that you will learn how to cope. Don't let anyone else tell you how you should cope or feel about things. Just know that you are loved and supported here! xoxo
1- totally understand you needing to take time for yourself. Take care of you for sure! I'm so sorry for everything you're going through. Sending hugs your way. 2- "it's your business" --- but it's not 3- so sick of people pushing their faith on others. This right here is just one of the main reasons why Christians are seen as being so toxic.
The utter arrogance of these huns who think their god is supporting them and blessing them in an MLM. People are literally suffering in poverty, parents struggling to feed their kids or make rent and your god is calling you to be in an MLM? You want to help people? Go volunteer. Make a positive difference in the lives of others rather than try to get them to lose money in a pyramid scheme. What would your god want?
I asked God and he said MLMs wasnt it. Grossss. Also, I am sorry for all the pain and grief you are going through right now Isabella. Sending up prayers and good vibes to you and your family.
Ugh. The faith manipulation, of course. I always thought that was so weird when I was part of this cult. I'm not a religious person, so anytime my uplines tried to tell me that "God" was putting this opportunity in my life, I was a bit like 🤢. Business and religion should not mix. Also for context, I lost over $7k on products alone to Young Living. Not including other expenses, or tax and shipping.
That is why mlm's don't have HR representatives. You can't be held accountable when there are no rules. I am sorry that you were made to feel uncomfortable! This kind of stuff makes me so mad!
I don’t believe in religion, but we all had a meeting with your lord and he said he absolutely does not support manipulating ppl . I love when ppl join an MLM they become religious on Sundays and throws it around to fear ppl into joining. It’s disgusting 🤮.
Why are all their stories like, "I was broke and ugly, I didn't have a car or any friends or family, my dog ran away and my house caught on fire. Then I joined this MLM and now I'm a beautiful millionaire with awesome friends, living in a mansion and driving a Cadillac."
Lots of love to you and your family and friends Isabella. Take your time. As for the YL call, it's another level of desperation. No critical thinking allowed here.
I only recently found out my manager was religious and it's just because it came up in conversation. I respect people who have faith, I think it's beautiful but it really has no place in the workplace. My manager sharing was appropriate but they keep it entirely out of the workplace usually, like I had no idea! I would be OUT as soon as they told me to pray with them and then continued with a sermon - assuming Christianity is the be all end all. How ignorant!
Your videos on YL have really given me a huge perspective shift. Between the info you and a few others I’ve found through research have shared, I’ve decided to stop shopping with YL. You’re so thorough in your research, I’d love to see what your thoughts are on alternatives to the MLM’s you’re exposing. I don’t know if that’s really something you’d want to venture into, but it’s a thought. Or at least linking to trustworthy resources for us to find alternatives would be super helpful! Oh, and one thing I did want to mention.. I don’t know if anyone else said it because I didn’t read all the comments, so sorry if they did. But on the Digize reel, I didn’t infer that she was ingesting it just from the video, but maybe it was in the caption? Or maybe just because she was holding the vitality version it’s assumed? I dunno, but I wanted to mention it because I have used it myself /topically/ and it helps my tummy when nothing else does. (hoping I find another brand that has something that helps as well) I was told by the friend who introduced me to YL to use it topically, so I thought that was the norm for Digize. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense. I just thought it might be helpful to share as someone who’s used this oil. :)
Sorry you're going through a tough time in your personal life. I've lost friends and family members and honestly I understand what you meant about being angry and pissed off. Sending you all the big hugs and good vibes. As for the religious sermon happening with this mlm just no...as someone who isn't Christian but grew up in a Christian household this gives me anxiety and makes me wanna run far far away. Enforcing your religion onto others isn't okay at all and in all honesty I'd rather be an honest sinner than a lying saint💜 also It makes me sad that the woman feels like she doesn't do the good in her own life putting all good on God and all bad on her is a recipe for never feeling like you're worthy
My mom has used YL essential oils for many years (not that I support that company). But digize isn’t an oil you consume. You rub it on your stomach and it helps with nausea and stomach pain. To be honest it works. I’ve used a lot of their oils for my eczema, sore throats, allergies, migraines, pulled muscles (along my with treatment not in place of it). I’m working on finding pure high grade oils so that I’m not supporting an mlm because the quality is incredibly important and any additives being used can disrupt the effectiveness. But I’ve never ingested essential oils, and there are very few people who do ingest them. **ALSO, I want to be clear that I am not against doctors or medication by any means. I have severe anxiety, epilepsy, and a few other issues and no oil is going to change that, I NEED medication. I like using a more natural solution when possible, just like I am particular about the groceries I buy and staying away from processed food when possible. I take advantage of chiropractics, laser treatments for my brain and body, eastern medicine and the benefits of acupuncture. I believe in using things as close to nature as possible because our bodies were made to process those things and they often do not have the side effects most medications have, but PLEASE don’t rely on natural resources for major and consistent issues, go to a doctor, there could be serious health issues behind your constant stomach pain or migraines, etc.
"Hello angels" in the description and "see you, my beautiful queens" at the end of the video... Yeah... I'm totally an angelic queen too... I totally belong =) See the dot in your demo graph? It's me! I'm the 0.002%!!! I just love your videos, not sure why your demo is so overwhelmingly female... Their loss.
Love you sweetie, you do you, only you know what you need to do and if you need time for yourself then you do it and fuck anyone else because you need to look after yourself because you have to, the people who support you aren’t going anywhere and if you don’t post anything else for a bit or a while we know why and we know you need space and time and we’re here to help and support in way we can, you’re such an amazing human and we get it and understand and are always here for you 😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘
HUN: There’s a lack of respect for people’s choices. ALSO HUN: * pointedly preaches from the Bible without knowing the religious affiliations of her down line *
WHAT? They're not training on selling the "product" they're training on enrolling and teaching others how to enroll? And we're steadfastly holding that MLM's aren't pyramids? Crystal clear. I WILL say this: Young Living does give you free products at certain tiers of dollar amount purchases every month, and you can rack up a lot of oils that way as well, even if you're buying faster consumable products like their supplements, drinks, etc. At the higher tiers, the more products you get. Also, the longer you are on auto-ship, the more money you get back from each purchase. So if you have been on auto-ship for two years, you get 25% back from every order, and you can use that "cash" on almost all of the products for a quick order shipment. In my opinion, some of the commentary from anti-MLM creators about essential oil companies and inventory loading regarding oils aren't necessarily as clear-cut as they are being presented. However, I can PROMISE you, some of the leaders are SHELLING out on buying products every month to get all of the "free" things they can, and there is a general encouragement to their downlines to get as much free product as possible.
That’s so disgusting using the tactic of religion as a pitch sadly not surprising. I didn’t like it at all as christian . God “will” is to be predatory don’t think so. People need to stop mixing religion with business. 🤦🏽♀️🚩
Everyone knows about the 5 stages of Grief (Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance), what’s not as well known it’s not a ranked list and they’re not felt in that order. Some people feel depression first, some feel anger first. And that’s okay
Holy crap, between the scripture reading, her sniffling and saying “umm” every third word- I’m losing my mind, and she is the leader?!?!? I had to skip ahead when Isabella wasn’t talking bc I couldn’t stand hearing the sniffing and 5,743,802 “ummms”.
The same day you posted this is the same day I got into it with a doterra rep on a dog parent IG page! I was literally throwing facts at her and she just was like “you’re right!! commercial EO shouldn’t be ingested ! However doterra oils are tested and safe.” I just can’t. She’s also not feeding her dog a balanced meal and feeding it onions!!!!!(different rant though). Heated. Lol love you though! Keep doing what you’re doing.
I have been a Christian my whole life and I love my Bible and it drives me crazy when people say that you just have to do something without questioning God. All of the big hitters Abraham Moses David all question God God has grace and listened. Yes sometimes he didn’t answer or they got a consequence for not following God but he never was mad at them for questioning him. Of course unless they were being a little sassy and he gave them a little hard love but he allowed the questions to be asked. If he doesn’t like people questioning him he would’ve killed them immediately. Even with the story of Jonah he didn’t end up killing him even when he didn’t do you what God wanted him to do he gave him a second chance. He didn’t Have the Fish item for questioning him. He had the fish eat them because he ran away. Moral of the story is God welcomes questions he is graceful and he is loving and he is a good father so therefore questions are always welcomed. I was in doterra for seven years I just got out last year I made absolutely no money and I’m thankful for that every day because if I would’ve made a lot of money I would’ve been more sucked into the cult. Luckily doterra is not as faith based as young living seems to be or at least my team wasn’t but still this is sad. I really enjoy your videos keep them coming.❤️EJ
I can’t think of another business where the employees work off the mindset of God will bring me customers like if you said that in a sales job they would not be impressed
Hey Bella x so glad you're back xxx sending my love xx Can I ask if you are planning on doing THE (lol)maverick collection video follow up? X I just wondered. Obviously in your own time, I only asked as you posted today xxxxx
I've sat through "trainings" like this in Doterra and in a lot of ways I'm still recovering from all the ways my faith was manipulated. Imo the essential oil mlms are the most predatory for that reason.
Girl I am so sorry to hear you’re going through such a hard time I’m sure you get 1 billion messages every day but if I can offer any support or listening ear please let me know. Thinking of you xo
Also I’m so on the same page about being upset when you’re feeling grief - it definitely is part of the grief cycle and I’m glad you’ve been working on being gentle with yourself during this time
I don’t understand why praying for something and others publicly is not okay? Like if someone who was catholic or Muslim or something prayed for me, I think it shows care, not force of their religion towards me 🤷🏼♀️
It terrifies me when they ingest oils. ESPECIALLY when they give their babies oils. The NAHA explicitly says not to, and every f’ing aromatherapist that knows their shit. What even more scary is when you present this information to them with evidence they say its not true 😩 cult like behaviour is unreal
Honestly the religious angle would have made me leave immediately. If people are religious great for them, but I do not want to hear about it or be a part of it. Religion/God should have nothing to do with a business endeavor.
You know this girl stood up on stage at church the next Sunday and told her southern Baptist or LDS congregation how incredible it was that her business took off and she had the opportunity to spread "God's word" with her team and peers. 😂😂😂 I know I'm being a judgy-wudgy but she just gives me those vibes big time! 😂😂😂
I hope this doesn’t change your view on all Christians!! 🙏🏼 I’m Christian and I do NOT agree at all with what people are doing. It is taking advantage of others and focusing on all the wrong things that the Bible says not to!!!! It may seem like all of us are like this but I promise there is a handful of us who truly think this is not OK!
Young Living huns - literally turning God's house into a den of thieves. Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. - Luke 19:46 King James Version
oh my god i was talking to someone today, she worked in like a small clinc and a Young Living rep came in with burns all down her esophagus because she made peppermit tea with the oil's, 👏Dont👏Ingest👏Essential👏Oils👏
I miss out on life because of my 9-5. My managers get paid more than me and their bosses more than them and their money is also coming from people under them. Not all training is the same no one expects any one to be a certain faith. The first woman you showed is actually pagan and she is so kind. It’s not a cult doesn’t qualify as a cult. Quit hating and putting other people down. Just because some people in a MLM use icky faith related things doesn’t mean the rest of them are bad. Also people are manipulated by faith all over the place
First of all....I am so sorry that you are going through these losses in your life. Loss and grief are hard and take so much processing. I wish light and love to you and as much healing and peace that you can get during these times. Now onto that bull**** Bible study mascarading as a training. If this had been a normal job, that crap would have been shut down soooo fast! If it were at my job-HR lead at a department store- I would have shut that shit down when she started to pray! And honestly these kind of meetings can be done in this way. She should have prefaced it by saying, "This will be religious based-in specific Christianity- based and if that makes you uncomfortable there will be another call at xyz time to accommodate what is said here without the religious talk." Or, " As a warning, this training will be religious based and if that is not something that you are comfortable with, you should probably skip this one and join in on the next one." Boom. Done. This makes me so mad.
When I was a teenager there was a nun that everyone loved & she was funny One thing that sticks out, is what she said. She said that if you are working for a boss in sales & that person talks about God or the Bible Etc. etc during a sales meeting, it is a huge red flag & do run the other way. 😉 this reminds me of something. I wonder what???? 🤔 Side-note- imagine being from Haiti & she said go back to Haiti, comparing it to hell. Basically said Haiti is hell. Not cool at all.
Thank you all so much for being so kind and supportive during the hard times I’ve been experiencing. It feels so good to share some content again. Idk how consistent I’ll be here soon but this has been so good for me! Ily angels!
Welcome back, queen! You’re in my thoughts. Family always will be first. ❤️🙏🏽
Im so sorry you’re going through all of that. ❤️ I’ve had some tough shit happen back to back to back over the past couple of years and it’s a lot. Take all the time you need, ride the natural ebb and flow of your emotions, there will always be cyber hugs here for you.
Our family is also going through hard times, it’s the world we live in! You don’t need to ever explain yourself, we all hope that you take care of yourself❤️
@@melissaj1310 I’m so sorry you’ve been through so much. That’s exactly how it’s been just back to back stuff. Sending so much love your way!
@@IsabellaLanter Yeah it’s not a fun club to be in. Best we can do is be supportive to others who are experiencing it too. ❤️
Imagine having a work meeting and your team leader says "let's pray". No let's find a new job. Yikes.
Religions are a perfect fit for MLM, if you do well, thank God. If you don't do well, something is wrong with you and obviously, God hates you. It must be soul crushing... A perfect fit for that industry. EDIT: I had paused the video and went to sleep, opened it up and saw your comment, then left that reply. I play the video again and the first point Isabella is making is precisely the same =) I swear I do have original thoughts ahahaha
The fact that you watch Isabella makes me so happy!!!
I literally quit a job on day 1 because they opened up a meeting with a prayer (without even asking me if I was spiritual or religious??) and they were asking God to bless our projects and deadlines 💀 like is that even legal in a workplace? I'm all for religious choices but yikes
Yikes is the correct response. I would have clicked out and ignored every email/call/text from them until the end of time.
I agree. I have my own religion and discussing this in a work situation is grossly inappropriate.
I’m leaving today. Embarrassing that I was stuck in this cult for years. Glad I’m on the other side. I’m sorry for your loss.
Proud of you for seeing it and leaving!
As a person who believes in God, I also can't stand faith manipulation. It makes the rest of us who are religious or believe in a higher power look bad. What if I was to stand here and say "Going to college and now working at a print shop changed my life. This is what God wanted me to do so I think you all should do it too. If you don't then you're just a hater of the entire printing industry and God will not reward you." 🙄🤦♀️ yikes. It's so frustrating that these people use faith manipulation to sell their business.
The way they talk about how they convince themselves to stay in the business is eerily similar to me giving myself pep talks to stay in my past abusive relationship
Dude, I literally thought the same thing... cuz I have been there. Not a positive time in my life whatsoever. Ick.
I feel you. I lost my closest cousin to brain cancer after the pandemic started and I was literally stuck laying in bed for 4 days straight after I went to say goodbye, only getting up to use the bathroom when absolutely necessary, no eating or drinking, and I couldn't even bring myself to go to his funeral because I knew it'd damage my already fragile mental state further. Within the next several months, my grandma died too, and she was the main grand parent that I still had around. By that point, I had suffered through the loss of my childhood best friend when we were 18, then 10 years later, my favorite cousin and I was so tired of missing my loved ones that I just pretended and continue to pretend that my grandma is just living life as I live mine cause I don't have the coping skills to confront the reality like I did with my childhood best friend and my cousin. Hang in there. I hope things get better.
I lost my dad in October & my grandma at the end of January. Grief definitely isn't one size fits all for sure, and it's a process. Keep taking care of yourself and do what you need to do to get through the process. :)
Sending love to you and your family 😔❤️
I stumbled across a YL Hun on Instagram who claimed in an Instagram story that a cinder block was dropped on her sons head while he was out playing, and she was putting what she deemed “ouchie oil” on his head. I’m so close to calling CPS
Sensing positive vibes and condolences. As someone who has lost 13 people in 6 years and sees grief from the counseling perspective, grief is HARD and a roller coaster. So I hope you continue taking care of yourself❤
If I joined a BUSINESS call that started with a prayer, especially as someone who has never been baptized, I would have jumped off that call SO FAST 😂😂😂😂
Glad you took time for yourself! Your feelings are valid and there's no one way to process grief. Anger can be a scary feeling even though it's a normal human emotion - I know it was a difficult one for me to learn to work with. I enjoy your personality and content and support you doing whatever you need to do to keep yourself well
Sending love to you and your family!
Oooohhhh snap!! Girl I was part of this cult. I'm stoked to see your take on it. Thank you for covering them in This video.
Also I truly hope you are doing okay. I know that you have been going through a lot lately 💖😔
Thank you so much. I feel more at peace after taking some time for myself and to be around family. I’m still feeling off not gonna lie. But honestly I know it always helps me when I stick with a routine and I genuinely missed working. And I love connecting with you guys! Thank you so much for being here love ☺️
@@IsabellaLanter grief comes and goes in phases. I'm glad you are finding some peace in the struggle. Thank you for being you 💖
@@kaylarealtalk_safespace5127 thank you so much 😭💕
Today is the two year anniversary of my dad’s passing. Thank you so much for saying what you did about grief….it’s such a weird process and some days we are okay, some days we aren’t. Sometimes it just nice not to feel alone.
In any case I’m so excited to be able to watch a post from you today! Makes my day a little brighter!!
Unless the job is literally for a religious organization (like a church or something), this, to me, is totally inappropriate. If I were on that zoom call, I'd have been raising my hand and asking if we can move on from the religion bits and onto the business.
I remember being advice to put an EO in my water and drink it but make sure to put it in a glass bottle because it will eat through plastic cups. So I am supposed to put something in my body that melts plastic?!
Grief really isn't a once size fits all, you're right. I have been though am abnormal amount of loss since a young age and it has been different almost every time ❤️
The people who tell you to do that are the same ones who are like “COCA COLA CAN BE USED TO CLEAN A CAR ENGINE!” Yeah, seems like essential oils can be, too…
my cousin is in young living and has been for years.. waiting for the day I see (or hear) her on your channel lmao
Hello Isabella,I am so happy to see your pretty face again! I am praying for you and your family, I know grief is hard but rely on your loved ones and do what makes you happy. I lost my grandmother last year and I am still grieving, so it is okay to take a break❤️
Warm love and hugs to you
BTW this content makes a difference. When I was thinking of quitting beacbody I found Kiki chanel s videos and was able to realize the truth and I did quit. I'm glad you're back and I'm sorry for everything you're dealing with
It never fails to amaze me the amount of work these women do and the abuse that they put up with for such shit paychecks. I'm an independent contractor for Upwork. 2021 was my first year. I made $6,000 my FIRST year. Paid no fees, didn't do any work I didn't want to do, set my own wage and hours. That to me is a legitamate side hustle. I have a part-time job rn for consistency but even my worst month at this point I'm making like $400 a month on my side hustle. I WISH with all my heart that these women would just go out and use their skills to find something like that!
FYI: just because someone is religious: DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOUT TRUST THEM.
I hate that people think that way. So many true crime docs are like, “No one would have thought he could be a murderer bc he went to church twice a week!” Okay… Jim Jones RAN a church, what’s your point? And then there are the priests…
I know I shouldn't focus on this, but the sniffling!!! Lol
Love you girl! Grief is not one size fits all. 💖
Yes! The sniffling drove me nuts!
That and the “umms”. I don’t want to be judge-y but this was rough. I watch all these videos and I get how some women sign up under certain Huns, because they are engaging/charismatic/and they sell the idea. This wasn’t it. At all.
Same LOL you'd think if she was sick, she could take some time off... Where is the TiMe FrEeDoM???
Every time this lady said anything she followed with an “um” or “ummmmmm” and the “um sniff”….once I heard it I couldn’t stop!!!!!! 😩 these huns be acting like a life coach, health experts, preachers, and your long lost BFF 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥 All of this just screams RED FLAG 🚩
I feel like they alllllll sound the same no matter the mlm.. always following with “um” after fast talking sentence.
Take care of yourself Isabella, grief is so individual for people. I lost my beautiful dog in a very traumatic way last year and I went through all emotions. I still miss him, feel it's unbelievable that he isn't here and cry because he's not here. Be gentle with yourself. ❤
Me: I need business advice
God: Don't join an MLM
Me: You're words are a great mystery
God: Seriously, don't join them. They are filled with liars
Me: How must I interpret thy word?
God: Umm. Hello? Is this thing on?
Me: I will turn to your son for advice.
Jesus: Remember when I threw the money changers out of the temple? Yeah. Stay away from MLMs.
Me: Like manna from heaven, I will join Monat.
God: Where's my smite button?
Yes!
I'm so glad to see you back! Grief is hard and there is no path that is the same. You helped me through losing my dad and I am so thankful for you! Sending you all the love and hugs. ❤
Wish you the best! I lost my best friend a couple years back and I know how awful it can be 💚 you got this
The amount of times I heard um from both of those women…… yes great motivational speakers. OMG and the one girl ends her prayer “anyway, Amen” hahaha wtf. And I’m a Christian and this is so weird.
One of my other favorite things with young living and doterra is when you tell them that you or the person in your house is allergic to certain sents and cannot have them in your house at all or around you or them and the rep decides to say "these are naturally derived oils and they are pure so there will be no issues with allergies." my husband is allergic to pine Trees and bushes and anything in the pine family. He has a letter to the actual plant plant so yes he is allergic to anything derived from that plant.
Lol I so feel this I am like your hubby as well & it sucks 😅 I wish these people would listen and respect individuals. It's like someone saying "I'm allergic to peanuts". Gets cut off--"nononono no, don't worry it's all natural peanut oil or all natural no gmo peanuts " ok... Hahaha, like doesnt negate im still allergic to peanuts !!! Lmfao, smh 🤦♀️
@@Fierce_Faerie the next time I get that response, I'm just gonna be like "so I can sue you for medical expenses if he has a severe reaction, then?"
So sorry all this ish keeps happening. We appreciate you so much. Please take good care of your mental health! It's so important to be able to give yourself time. All the best hugs and love headed your way. Be well!
Thank you so much for sharing what's happening for you. For whatever it's worth, grief is, by far, the emotion that has taught me the most about myself, but (lest that sound like a platitude) has also been the one I've hated the most and wanted so damn much to be done with. I wish you peace and ease as much as is possible as you find your way through this time.
Nooooope nope nope. If I want to pray, I'm doing so in the privacy of my home or mind, or I'm headed to church. If it is being pushed on me ANYWHERE else, it's not okay. And I was literally sitting here putting tabs on my bible pages while I watched this video! This is why organized religion has such a bad rap. We shouldn't be pushing it onto others who didn't ask for it. It's only serving to push those people who are having doubts or are unsure of where they stand on things FURTHER away from God and away from the word.
Is this a Bible study or a training call?
FFS if I wanted to go to church I'd go to church. Imagine this happening in an actual business environment
I don't know where you're from, but I was born and raised in the South and I love seeing the honest reactions of people when Christianity is pressed into absolutely every facet of everyday life. I don't know where that chick is from either, but this is commonplace here. When I go to the playground and meet a new parent, one of the first questions is always "What church do y'all go to?" Well, actually now not many parents talk to me because I'm usually there with my (female) partner and it's obvious we're a couple, which is totally fine with me because it has spared me from a ton of uncomfortable conversations. LOL!
I lost my mom to brain cancer in 2009. I didn't really cry or feel it for about 5 months. We were very close and she died very quickly. She died before I had children and one thing I learned is that grief is not linear. It comes in waves and in different stages of your life, the pain will feel differently. But one thing I will promise is that you will learn how to cope. Don't let anyone else tell you how you should cope or feel about things. Just know that you are loved and supported here! xoxo
@RGB 18 thank you. 🖤
It’s just wild bc you know these same people would have a field day if any other religion was being pushed like this during a business meeting
1- totally understand you needing to take time for yourself. Take care of you for sure! I'm so sorry for everything you're going through. Sending hugs your way.
2- "it's your business" --- but it's not
3- so sick of people pushing their faith on others. This right here is just one of the main reasons why Christians are seen as being so toxic.
The utter arrogance of these huns who think their god is supporting them and blessing them in an MLM. People are literally suffering in poverty, parents struggling to feed their kids or make rent and your god is calling you to be in an MLM? You want to help people? Go volunteer. Make a positive difference in the lives of others rather than try to get them to lose money in a pyramid scheme. What would your god want?
I thought C19 would slow them down, but they got even worse!😩
I asked God and he said MLMs wasnt it. Grossss.
Also, I am sorry for all the pain and grief you are going through right now Isabella. Sending up prayers and good vibes to you and your family.
This was so gross… they must control people so much. It’s just so manipulative!
So sorry about all the things you're going through Isabella 🖤 sending all my love.
Welcome back! So excited for this video.
Ugh. The faith manipulation, of course. I always thought that was so weird when I was part of this cult. I'm not a religious person, so anytime my uplines tried to tell me that "God" was putting this opportunity in my life, I was a bit like 🤢. Business and religion should not mix.
Also for context, I lost over $7k on products alone to Young Living. Not including other expenses, or tax and shipping.
That is why mlm's don't have HR representatives. You can't be held accountable when there are no rules. I am sorry that you were made to feel uncomfortable! This kind of stuff makes me so mad!
@@mariearteaga3056 you are so right about that 😰 and thank you! I appreciate that
Hope everything is okay gorgeous gorgeous girl 💕💕 we're all here for you. Awesome video 💗
So happy to see this video up. You're in your fans' minds and hearts!!
I don’t believe in religion, but we all had a meeting with your lord and he said he absolutely does not support manipulating ppl . I love when ppl join an MLM they become religious on Sundays and throws it around to fear ppl into joining. It’s disgusting 🤮.
Guys... Abby's excited. I don't know if you caught that.
😂😂😂
“There’s a lot of details but you don’t need to know them in the beginning” 😳
Just realised I've got a platinum leader on my fb friends. Her husband just got fired for refusing the 💉 too and they bought a new house
Welcome back beauty ❤️❤️❤️ thinking of you x
Thank you so much angel! So so happy you’re here!
Why are all their stories like, "I was broke and ugly, I didn't have a car or any friends or family, my dog ran away and my house caught on fire. Then I joined this MLM and now I'm a beautiful millionaire with awesome friends, living in a mansion and driving a Cadillac."
Lots of love to you and your family and friends Isabella. Take your time. As for the YL call, it's another level of desperation. No critical thinking allowed here.
I only recently found out my manager was religious and it's just because it came up in conversation. I respect people who have faith, I think it's beautiful but it really has no place in the workplace. My manager sharing was appropriate but they keep it entirely out of the workplace usually, like I had no idea!
I would be OUT as soon as they told me to pray with them and then continued with a sermon - assuming Christianity is the be all end all. How ignorant!
All the love & hugs for you! I hope everything settles down
Will you still be doing the video reacting to the seint ceo? Love your channel!!
Your videos on YL have really given me a huge perspective shift. Between the info you and a few others I’ve found through research have shared, I’ve decided to stop shopping with YL. You’re so thorough in your research, I’d love to see what your thoughts are on alternatives to the MLM’s you’re exposing. I don’t know if that’s really something you’d want to venture into, but it’s a thought. Or at least linking to trustworthy resources for us to find alternatives would be super helpful!
Oh, and one thing I did want to mention.. I don’t know if anyone else said it because I didn’t read all the comments, so sorry if they did. But on the Digize reel, I didn’t infer that she was ingesting it just from the video, but maybe it was in the caption? Or maybe just because she was holding the vitality version it’s assumed? I dunno, but I wanted to mention it because I have used it myself /topically/ and it helps my tummy when nothing else does. (hoping I find another brand that has something that helps as well) I was told by the friend who introduced me to YL to use it topically, so I thought that was the norm for Digize. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense. I just thought it might be helpful to share as someone who’s used this oil. :)
El sombrero es parte de un uniforme de yL?
I would’ve stood up and cheered if someone had interrupted and said, “My love language is getting paid for the hours I work, hun!”
Sorry you're going through a tough time in your personal life. I've lost friends and family members and honestly I understand what you meant about being angry and pissed off. Sending you all the big hugs and good vibes.
As for the religious sermon happening with this mlm just no...as someone who isn't Christian but grew up in a Christian household this gives me anxiety and makes me wanna run far far away. Enforcing your religion onto others isn't okay at all and in all honesty I'd rather be an honest sinner than a lying saint💜 also It makes me sad that the woman feels like she doesn't do the good in her own life putting all good on God and all bad on her is a recipe for never feeling like you're worthy
Take a shot every time she says “so excited”.
Glad to have you back ❤️
My mom has used YL essential oils for many years (not that I support that company). But digize isn’t an oil you consume. You rub it on your stomach and it helps with nausea and stomach pain. To be honest it works. I’ve used a lot of their oils for my eczema, sore throats, allergies, migraines, pulled muscles (along my with treatment not in place of it). I’m working on finding pure high grade oils so that I’m not supporting an mlm because the quality is incredibly important and any additives being used can disrupt the effectiveness. But I’ve never ingested essential oils, and there are very few people who do ingest them.
**ALSO, I want to be clear that I am not against doctors or medication by any means. I have severe anxiety, epilepsy, and a few other issues and no oil is going to change that, I NEED medication.
I like using a more natural solution when possible, just like I am particular about the groceries I buy and staying away from processed food when possible. I take advantage of chiropractics, laser treatments for my brain and body, eastern medicine and the benefits of acupuncture.
I believe in using things as close to nature as possible because our bodies were made to process those things and they often do not have the side effects most medications have, but PLEASE don’t rely on natural resources for major and consistent issues, go to a doctor, there could be serious health issues behind your constant stomach pain or migraines, etc.
"Hello angels" in the description and "see you, my beautiful queens" at the end of the video... Yeah... I'm totally an angelic queen too... I totally belong =) See the dot in your demo graph? It's me! I'm the 0.002%!!! I just love your videos, not sure why your demo is so overwhelmingly female... Their loss.
Love you sweetie, you do you, only you know what you need to do and if you need time for yourself then you do it and fuck anyone else because you need to look after yourself because you have to, the people who support you aren’t going anywhere and if you don’t post anything else for a bit or a while we know why and we know you need space and time and we’re here to help and support in way we can, you’re such an amazing human and we get it and understand and are always here for you 😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘
HUN: There’s a lack of respect for people’s choices.
ALSO HUN: * pointedly preaches from the Bible without knowing the religious affiliations of her down line *
Um, did she just say "my boo"? If my supervisor called me boo, I would put a stop to that immediately.
WHAT? They're not training on selling the "product" they're training on enrolling and teaching others how to enroll? And we're steadfastly holding that MLM's aren't pyramids? Crystal clear. I WILL say this: Young Living does give you free products at certain tiers of dollar amount purchases every month, and you can rack up a lot of oils that way as well, even if you're buying faster consumable products like their supplements, drinks, etc. At the higher tiers, the more products you get. Also, the longer you are on auto-ship, the more money you get back from each purchase. So if you have been on auto-ship for two years, you get 25% back from every order, and you can use that "cash" on almost all of the products for a quick order shipment. In my opinion, some of the commentary from anti-MLM creators about essential oil companies and inventory loading regarding oils aren't necessarily as clear-cut as they are being presented. However, I can PROMISE you, some of the leaders are SHELLING out on buying products every month to get all of the "free" things they can, and there is a general encouragement to their downlines to get as much free product as possible.
That’s so disgusting using the tactic of religion as a pitch sadly not surprising. I didn’t like it at all as christian . God “will” is to be predatory don’t think so. People need to stop mixing religion with business. 🤦🏽♀️🚩
Everyone knows about the 5 stages of Grief (Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance), what’s not as well known it’s not a ranked list and they’re not felt in that order. Some people feel depression first, some feel anger first. And that’s okay
I felt that ... my former upline is hard-core Mormon.
Holy crap, between the scripture reading, her sniffling and saying “umm” every third word- I’m losing my mind, and she is the leader?!?!? I had to skip ahead when Isabella wasn’t talking bc I couldn’t stand hearing the sniffing and 5,743,802 “ummms”.
The same day you posted this is the same day I got into it with a doterra rep on a dog parent IG page! I was literally throwing facts at her and she just was like “you’re right!! commercial EO shouldn’t be ingested ! However doterra oils are tested and safe.” I just can’t. She’s also not feeding her dog a balanced meal and feeding it onions!!!!!(different rant though). Heated. Lol love you though! Keep doing what you’re doing.
I understand speaking to groups or in any way ‘public speaking’ for some people is stressful or brings anxiety.. but the amount of ‘Umm.. Umm, umm!’ 😑
I have been a Christian my whole life and I love my Bible and it drives me crazy when people say that you just have to do something without questioning God. All of the big hitters Abraham Moses David all question God God has grace and listened. Yes sometimes he didn’t answer or they got a consequence for not following God but he never was mad at them for questioning him. Of course unless they were being a little sassy and he gave them a little hard love but he allowed the questions to be asked. If he doesn’t like people questioning him he would’ve killed them immediately. Even with the story of Jonah he didn’t end up killing him even when he didn’t do you what God wanted him to do he gave him a second chance. He didn’t Have the Fish item for questioning him. He had the fish eat them because he ran away. Moral of the story is God welcomes questions he is graceful and he is loving and he is a good father so therefore questions are always welcomed. I was in doterra for seven years I just got out last year I made absolutely no money and I’m thankful for that every day because if I would’ve made a lot of money I would’ve been more sucked into the cult. Luckily doterra is not as faith based as young living seems to be or at least my team wasn’t but still this is sad. I really enjoy your videos keep them coming.❤️EJ
This faith manipulation is making me so angry omg. But anyway I love you, you're gonna get through this ❤️
I can’t think of another business where the employees work off the mindset of God will bring me customers like if you said that in a sales job they would not be impressed
Hey Bella x so glad you're back xxx sending my love xx Can I ask if you are planning on doing THE (lol)maverick collection video follow up? X I just wondered. Obviously in your own time, I only asked as you posted today xxxxx
Omggggg so random but is that a pic of you and Deanna on your shelf??
I've sat through "trainings" like this in Doterra and in a lot of ways I'm still recovering from all the ways my faith was manipulated. Imo the essential oil mlms are the most predatory for that reason.
But what is grief but love persevering..😔😔
Welcome back love!!
I wonder if she’s “so excited” ?
Girl I am so sorry to hear you’re going through such a hard time I’m sure you get 1 billion messages every day but if I can offer any support or listening ear please let me know. Thinking of you xo
Also I’m so on the same page about being upset when you’re feeling grief - it definitely is part of the grief cycle and I’m glad you’ve been working on being gentle with yourself during this time
I don’t understand why praying for something and others publicly is not okay? Like if someone who was catholic or Muslim or something prayed for me, I think it shows care, not force of their religion towards me 🤷🏼♀️
It terrifies me when they ingest oils. ESPECIALLY when they give their babies oils. The NAHA explicitly says not to, and every f’ing aromatherapist that knows their shit. What even more scary is when you present this information to them with evidence they say its not true 😩 cult like behaviour is unreal
Honestly the religious angle would have made me leave immediately. If people are religious great for them, but I do not want to hear about it or be a part of it. Religion/God should have nothing to do with a business endeavor.
You know this girl stood up on stage at church the next Sunday and told her southern Baptist or LDS congregation how incredible it was that her business took off and she had the opportunity to spread "God's word" with her team and peers. 😂😂😂 I know I'm being a judgy-wudgy but she just gives me those vibes big time! 😂😂😂
I hope this doesn’t change your view on all Christians!! 🙏🏼 I’m Christian and I do NOT agree at all with what people are doing. It is taking advantage of others and focusing on all the wrong things that the Bible says not to!!!! It may seem like all of us are like this but I promise there is a handful of us who truly think this is not OK!
As an atheist with daydreaming/inattentive tendencies my brain goes on a little vacation anytime people start to pray or talk about god
"I'm doing this on my phone because I don't have a laptop yet" WHYYYY?! If you're making so much money you can afford a laptop 🙄
Don’t rush anything. You need time to mourn and to deal with your tough life situation. We’re not a MLM after all.
If she says she’s “excited” one more time I’m going to scream 😅
How about seint makeup what are your thoughts???
She has many many seint vids, check out her other videos.
Let's goooo Isabella ❤️
Young Living huns - literally turning God's house into a den of thieves.
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. - Luke 19:46 King James Version
oh my god i was talking to someone today, she worked in like a small clinc and a Young Living rep came in with burns all down her esophagus because she made peppermit tea with the oil's, 👏Dont👏Ingest👏Essential👏Oils👏
I miss out on life because of my 9-5. My managers get paid more than me and their bosses more than them and their money is also coming from people under them. Not all training is the same no one expects any one to be a certain faith. The first woman you showed is actually pagan and she is so kind. It’s not a cult doesn’t qualify as a cult. Quit hating and putting other people down. Just because some people in a MLM use icky faith related things doesn’t mean the rest of them are bad. Also people are manipulated by faith all over the place
First of all....I am so sorry that you are going through these losses in your life. Loss and grief are hard and take so much processing. I wish light and love to you and as much healing and peace that you can get during these times. Now onto that bull**** Bible study mascarading as a training. If this had been a normal job, that crap would have been shut down soooo fast! If it were at my job-HR lead at a department store- I would have shut that shit down when she started to pray! And honestly these kind of meetings can be done in this way. She should have prefaced it by saying, "This will be religious based-in specific Christianity- based and if that makes you uncomfortable there will be another call at xyz time to accommodate what is said here without the religious talk." Or, " As a warning, this training will be religious based and if that is not something that you are comfortable with, you should probably skip this one and join in on the next one." Boom. Done. This makes me so mad.
Don’t think, just jump in! Trust me, I talk to “The Lord” regularly! 🙄
When I was a teenager there was a nun that everyone loved & she was funny
One thing that sticks out, is what she said.
She said that if you are working for a boss in sales & that person talks about God or the Bible Etc. etc during a sales meeting, it is a huge red flag & do run the other way.
😉 this reminds me of something. I wonder what???? 🤔
Side-note- imagine being from Haiti & she said go back to Haiti, comparing it to hell.
Basically said Haiti is hell.
Not cool at all.
Not Haiti, Hades
