Haha I like to think that the deleted photo on Shaun's account was one of his kids hacking in and throwing some shade AJT's way, unlikely I know
I cannot imagine what they must think of the whole situation.
Her "achievements" paper was very revealing about what she most values (as well as being utter crap hahah) I just thought her list was so odd, she tries to inflate her outward signs of success so much, and she keeps telling the same old story over and over again - the single mum, brought herself up from nothing. Literally no one cares. None of that means a thing if you've got no idea who you really are, she just seems lost to me and is relying on her fantasy stories about herself and these outward achievements to build her sense of self.
And the ONLY reason she posted that photo was so that we could see all her supposed achievements too. She didn't have to let us see to make her point, but I think receiving validation is a huge part of her sense of self-worth. Appearances matter to AJT and receiving compliments seems to be a necessary thing for her.
And all the eye rolls about her words regarding imposter syndrome, she probably is struggling with imposter syndrome because she's telling a false narrative about herself! No wonder she's feeling "wobbly" from time to time. It sounds to me like she's just dismissing any thought that might lead to some real self reflection lol. You can view yourself as worthy and good enough while also being honest about who you are and what you've achieved. When you are relying on outward signs of success, or stories you've come to believe about yourself, you're not really beating imposter syndrome, you've just fallen into a different trap.
Like pretending her book was such a success. Clearly it was not. She could be honest about that while still appreciating the experience and seeing it as positive growth. I'm sure it was a fantastic learning experience that has a lot of worth. She could learn from it but no, she has to pretend she is a fabulous author with a complete hit. It's so blind and pointless, who is she trying to fool and why?
Also, way too many thoughts, but being a single mum is not an achievement, just like being any kind of parent is not an achievement. Having your kids with you 85 percent of the time is not an achievement, it's just being a parent. No doubt there are specific challenges to being a single parent but she is in literally the best and easiest single parent situation. She had access to great job opportunities, she chose a field that lent itself to working from home, she had help with housing and access to free childcare. No joke I feel like she has had more support than many two parents under the same roof households. Not to mention endless emotional support from her parents. She is not really parenting alone. But she loves the narrative of being a young penniless single mum. It's just not true and it's maddening that she can't see that. Yet another bandwagon she has jumped on to build her brand and sense of self worth. She should be preaching gratitude for what she has rather than self-worship.
