Wow, Carin left the group? Geez, no one said anything that bad that I saw.... people were questioning her credentials, but you have that right if someone is asking you to pony up some serious coin for your services. Fact is, it appears she doesn't actually have a counseling license so people are smart to wonder what qualifications she actually has before signing on.

I don't think anyone said anything too bad either. Carin's not my favorite guest but I wouldn't want to see anyone personally attack her either. However, I was a little annoyed by her long rant about being able to afford the trip. Some people live on very tight budgets and $1300, or whatever the trip is without hotel & travel costs, is a lot of money.

I agree with Jane's assessment of Taylor, but I'm not sure why she had to bash subscribers and then peace TF out? Oh well. I'm with Durst in that I'm waiting to see how it all ends. How much longer can such sloppiness last?

Carin's long ass SALES PITCH about the costs of her retreat, and how "it's not really too pricey" was fucking infuriating. I'm sorry- a SECOND NYC apartment and a $5000 "mentor" are the examples she uses? Must be a nice life, Carin.
That post was insulting to women who have to bust their ass every day just to afford their ONLY residence in whatever state they live in, to put food on the table for their families, to keep the heat and lights on, etc. "Just make extra money with an Etsy store or babysitting!" Like its so fucking easy, and everyone has ALLLL of this extra time to "babysit" or make shitty crafts to make money so this out of touch nutbag can tell them how to make their lives better. She's doing them a disservice from the get go by giving them very poor financial advice and guilt about how they are spending the money they earn.
It's funny though, she didn't happen to mention that part of their budgeting could be saving $7 by cancelling their show subscription. That's odd.
(okay- rant over. Thanks all)

I’m with Jane. If everyone cancelled it would be awesome to see TS suddenly see what a spoiled brat she is. If everyone keeps paying .... its gonna continue. I like watching this board but I wish folks would cancel

Carin is crazy! End of story. Why meet at Versace Mansion. Why not the conference room at a Holiday Inn express? If she is so fucking amazing she shouldn’t need Versace.

Someone actually suggested that...hellooooooo...make it affordable if you want more women to be empowered to change their lives!
So I’m a huge Carin (I’ll say it) hater. I typically fast forward through her segments because I think she’s a crock of unqualified BS and I feel bad saying this, but her voice annoys me. (She’s a lot like Karen on Will and Grace without the laughs.) Give me a LCSW or qualified Licensed Psych and I’ll believe it. I loved the part of the thread about masters degrees by the way....spot on.
In a slight twist, however, I understand what she was trying to do when she was explaining about her apartment in NYC, selling on Etsy, etc. She had a goal and figured out a way to achieve it.
But the woman is SO OUT OF TOUCH with actual reality that she can’t even explain or relate to us common folk how to actually achieve something we really wanted to do when the reality of life might not allow it. As someone above so eloquently stated, when the “f” will you have time to set up your Etsy shop and make your adorable gifts to sell? After you get home from your full-time job, make dinner and put the kids to bed? When your bank account isn’t exactly padded the same as someone who can afford a second apartment in NYC to rent?
It will be interesting to see if Taylor acknowledges any of this, given that a trip is what sunk her ship the last time. I read on the post that they won’t tell you which “boutique hotel” you will be staying at until you pay. Is that a crock of shit or what?
Finally, I’d cancel but I don’t have a subscription to cancel. Lol. I listen to my niece’s when she is around (it was a gift subscription to her). But I’ve skipped most of this week after Monday’s shitshow. She was “extra” vapid that day and it kinda put me over the edge.

You have me cracking up this morning! First of all Carin isn't a licensed anything, LMFT or a licensed yoga teacher, so to pay that much for 2 days (travel and hotel not included) is INSANE! Anyone can go the the Versace Mansion, you don't have to be an insider to get in. It's sad that the basis of the retreat is to empower women but really they are taking the extra dough so Carin, Taylor & TD can stay and drink at the Soho house. Come on ladies WAKE UP!

When I read Carin's lost post about what she does (empowering women,following your dreams, etc.) I felt like asking how is all your coaching you have been giving Taylor for YEARS working?

Lol I said the same thing the other day. I think Carin is the biggest crock of shit. Granted I come from a biased place as I’m super not into “woo woo” stuff, but JFC that woman is a real nutter. These people are paying out the nose for what amounts to an over priced pep talk.

I’ve always thought whatever, if it works for you, all the power to you. Carins post was so off putting though. Just make it work if you really want to I come! What a slap in the face when you actually can’t make it work 😕

CARIN ROCKIND earned her masters in positive psychology from University of Pennsylvania. Well, today is your lucky day because they offer a FREE online course for positive psychology.
That’s right... The University of Pennsylvania offers a FREE online course of the Positive Psychology (you pay once you complete coursework and hands-on project IF you want certificate).
But wait! There’s more!
I’m pretty sure Carin resides in Philly area, so likely IF she was a LICENSED professional, it would be found here:
Annnnddd she’s not. I’m gonna go take my online course and will be back in a few to start my new webinar series called “Who Needs Purpose, Gurrrl?”

Slow clap. You might be my fucking hero right now....

i found Carin’s response of make it work completely out of touch as well, I mean, it can’t be that easy to work full time, raise children and run a successful Etsy shop.
Carin, may not want to make a baby. She doesn’t get how much time they consume. No more arts and crafts for you. 😜

Because of your incredible skills, I WILL pay to come to your seminar... and if the other trolls join us, we WILL be happy, because we will laugh our asses off about what a crock the rest of them are.
I decided to give her a listen today (well, it was yesterday’s show and it’s really because of Rob S. being on...which actually means I DIDN’T turn her off this time) and it’s even more amazing how much of a faker she is. She actually admitted that she, herself, is not in a good place (so not only can you pay your “happiness coach” to coach you, you now know she is not happy! Who admits that shit???) and she is paying HER coach $5K to coach HER! Yes, she is paying a coach $5K, along with 500 other women (yes, she said her coach is making $2.5M right now) to help her get what she wants out of life. WTF. I definitely am in the wrong business... I’d like to make $2.5M to coach a sad “happiness coach” on how to convince people they are sad enough to sell out their families so they can go to Miami in the summer!
So sign me up for “Who Needs Purpose, Gurrrl?” I’m in!

I was listening to Jeff Lewis today and he was talking about Teddy Mellencamp and her accountability coaching. Girl is making bank on this. And she doesn't pretend to have any degrees or anything, just she used to be a fat kid! Now that is hustle

Carin is back on the FB page, tail between legs with an “apology”. I knew she’d be back- Taylor’s listeners are clearly important to her business. Girl could use some coaching of her own on how to control her emotions (let’s not forget the time she went off on me and others on election night).

Let's hear the apology. I'm sure Carin and Taylor are nice women but they aren't people you should pay for self help or guidance. LOOK at the two of them, THEY need help!
Offline
For those not in the FB group, here is Carin’s apology:
To Jade and Katíe, and anyone offended by any of my comments, I am truly sorry. I tried to respond to all of the comments in love and some of my words came across the wrong way. I know people can’t afford everything and I want to serve everyone so I give away a lot for free (weekly newsletter of tips, weekly podcast, and more). I do what I do because I honestly want every woman to have everything she desires. When I read Christine’s original post, I truly thought she wanted to go but didn’t think she could so I was just trying to help. I see how some my comments seemed insensitive and bullish. It wasn’t my intent and I am sorry. I learn every day. Thank you all for teaching me to do better. In love and humility, Carin
Offline
She basically copied and pasted that apology in a different thread on the post, just changing the pronouns because she was directing it directly towards christine this time. That doesn't seem sincere.
I personally don't get the appeal of what Carin does or the retreat. I don't feel like she could tell me something I don't already know and she's not an actual psychologist so she can't do anything in that capacity. I guess it works for others, though.

Did anyone hear Taylor explain to Rob on Thursday how Matt got involved in the show? It was the most detailed explanation I've heard about how he got there (started as a listener; then got an internship; used daddy's connections to get a meeting to present to Kenny and Taylor). What I cannot believe she said multiple times was that Matt's Powerpoint presentation and subsequent reason for hiring (and purpose for being there) is to fix their social media. He presented on how he could help with the show and Taylor's blog, IG, Twitter, and FB accounts...and as he moved up from intern to personal assistant to manager, this is what he continues to do. All I can say is that she is a sucker and if that's why is he is there, he is #failing.
Offline
I still maintain that Matt is her personal assistant - drive her around, get her coffee, etc.
He has actually done less than zero as her manager since she was fired after he was hired and in 2.5 years he got her 1 other paying gig. He couldn't even get her on Summer House and she's friends with the star.
Social media? She has social media?

Social media? That’s hysterical.
It’s a win-win for both of them. She gets to say she has a team of well-connected people and he gets to pretend he has a job and is a real manager with clients.

He ain’t going nowhere as long as his daddy is/was the president of Viacom and she has access to that house in the Hamptons. Taylor is blinded by money and social climbing right now....
