I don't want to even download and read that brain vomit cause I have a good idea what it focuses on (pseudo-motivational circling around and no action steps or strategizing blueprint), but I thought that was a video transcript that someone recorded and uploaded? Not her actual script? Which would explain all the mistakes since her pronunciation is horrible.

I’m questioning the therapy part too, she said that she goes to therapy (weekly?) and I’m curious if she’s honest to her therapist or not? Like come on, you can’t be so delusional to pretend that you’re affluent or whatever to your therapist...

And if she sees her therapist so often, why is she still acting so delusional?

Thank you so much for your words about my English skills
You are right! I think anyone who is learning a language is more conscious about grammar and words used than a native speaker. I regularly exchange languages (English / Spanish) and I appreciate the effort that the other person makes by speaking my language. Even if they are having a hard time finding the correct words.

Coming back to Anna's grammar, she could have used a software for grammar checking at least. Perhaps she didn't have the money to hire someone, but there are other options out there. Perhaps she didn't care at all?

I don't think it's a matter of attending college or any higher education. I don't have a degree either but I care not only how I express myself but also in educating myself on others matters. Perhaps, it's something related on a personal trait: not being responsible enough. I mean, if she would have this trait she would do anything to get her content error-free as that shows she cares about her audience.

The subtitles in her YouTube videos have many mistakes too! I don’t know who makes them, but there are a lot of wrong words, for example; she says buy but the subtitle says by. Words that sound the same but aren’t right in the subtitles/CC. It’s not even automated

She makes rules that reflect her insecurities, she could not afford the things she is flaunting now, so she outlawed them to make a ‘valid’ excuse for not having them.

now that her course is affording her the lifestyle that she claimed to have before, she can go back on her rules, maybe she will even delete the videos and act like they didn’t happen like how she changed her name.

Do you mean the subtitles option that you can activate on Youtube?

By the way, I'm starting to think that the module files are a direct transcription from each module's videos. I've noticed that the videos are mentioned on the files in some way (saying "this was a bit of a long video"). Plus, each heading has the link to access to the platform. However, if the material is available both in video and in a document with the content transcripted, the texts must be error-free.

Another example that makes me laugh (taken from module 4, page 2):
"I am myself, am a light. That's my dominant color. And we have also some celebrities for also light as a dominant color, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Reese Witherspoon, Michelle Pfeiffer, Paris Hilton, Kate boss, sports, Heather LA clear Naomi Watts."

Yes, the CC option that you can activate. It has so many mistakes in it.

Omg, a direct transcription, that’s a shame she is very lazy and very good at hiding it. When I discovered her videos, I thought she was professional at first because when you’re new you kinda get that impresson from her and her videos (I did), but luckily you immediately discover that’s it’s totally not! Unfortunately her 800k subscribers didn’t discover it yet.

And o m g, what did I just read? English isn’t my native language and I know it isn’t Anna’s either, but this is too funny what is it supposed to say lmaoooo I can’t

I don't know if someone said it already I lost track of the thread. BUT since when a childhood insecurity can turn to an advertisement strategy for a scam course ?!?! She posted a blurred pic of herself saying her teeth were so bad and she was so insecure and she never told it to anyone, not even her "partner"... but to see the pic you have to register for her whatever bs she is offering online --' really???? Also she is improving and taking notes from here. We should stop giving her advice first she changed the house decor, then new extensions, flowers, and now she showed her closet and I have a feeling that she's going to delete old videos of hers where she says controversial stuff like no Chanel bags just because now she can afford them

RE refunds for online courses the following is stated on which.co.uk :

1) “The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations gives you rights to redress if you've been the victim of misleading actions or aggressive selling.”

2) “What is unfair?
Under the Regulations, a commercial practice is 'unfair' if it fits both of the following requirements:

It falls below the good-faith standards of skill and care that a trader in that industry would be expected to exercise towards customers.”


Her courses are written so haphazardly and clearly regurgitated from G Sayles et al. i’d be surprised and disappointed if all of her students failed to notice this.

By quickly skimming module five I noticed another hilarious error!


You only need to understand the basics when red white and the Jose is the most appropriate, but of course you always have people who bend the rules and people usually just order what they truly enjoy drinking.” (Module 5 page 9)

Who is Jose?! typos are absolutely ok in texts that you’re not charging £1000 for. Needless to say, she doesn’t care about these poor girls.

I've seen many spelling mistakes using the youtube subtitles option (in general, not only in her videos). The creators have to fix the subtitles and write their captions to show them correctly. I've only seen very few videos with no mistakes on their captions - especially those from English teachers due to a teaching purpose -.
About the transcription, it's not a bad idea to have both ways to access the information: video and document.
I've been taking several courses from work, and the trainings have both options. Having the document is good if you want to have the information there and summarise it and for those who have hearing problems. However, the transcriptions must always be error-free, as the purpose is to show the exact information from the video but in a document.

When did she post that? Why so she would create so much mystery about it anyway? Does she think someone will pay just to view that picture? haha It doesn't make any sense.
By the way, even though I understand the insecurity on her teeth (as they were my main insecurity as well) I cannot understand why she got dental crowns! To get crowns your teeth must be heavily filled. So, basically, the structure of your natural teeth ends up being non-existent. Having braces is the best option and veneers in case they are stained.

It's in her stories from today. Not only she takes people for dummies who will register to a course to see her teeth --' but also it's unfair to herself even.. if you had an insecurity and pictures you didn't even show to your partner why would you use that to make money ?! I understand people do that to help others and tell then it's okay to be how you are but that's not her purpose, she is just after the money.

And I agree that she went for a terrible option indeed. She could get braces and keep her natural teeth.. I guess she was impatient and didn't want to wait with the braces.. but I don't know if the shark teeth that come with having crowns are worth it

Yeah I guess my problem is Anna's implication that kids with imperfect teeth were born "with a defect" (her words)

It's sad because it shows that her insecurities are extremely deep and stem from childhood (still doesn't excuse her scamming)

If she wants to insult her own former self, I guess that's fine, but she's treading even deeper into unethical waters by implying that people (children?!) are defective.

Also, her immense privilege is showing. I don't want to diminish anyone's dental problems, but there are children born with cleft palates and missing limbs and other serious congenital diseases that a few crooked teeth don't compare to. I'm so confused about her message. Does she want her audience to feel bad for her? To envy her? She really could streamline her marketing, but enough before she uses my advice for free

A little insight... The hotels she went to in Turkey being : D Maris Bay mainly and also Mandarin Oriental Bodrum are really expensive. Being Turkish myself I personally know billionaires who go there. Its like a hot location for the rich as the prices are really high. So my point is she is out for the look out for a guy. Now I’m not sure if she has a man or not but that “holiday” was business not holiday for sure. Certain well known business men go there to meet mainly eastern European women. It is well known in turkey that Turkish men use eastern European women as escorts. Now I don’t agree but that doesn’t change their perceptions its like an inside joke as a country if u will.

May I add none of these “business men” you can meet in these hotels actually will marry these women. I wouldn’t believe it when people said she escorts but it’s true.

Following the individual members of the so called high society and actual old money, I have come to observe that they truely don’t take these women seriously. Anna did herself a disservice. What she should of done is not used protection and had one of their children. Because that is the only method of steady income from them. Which these men are too smart for that.

It’s so ridiculous I know men that share the women between them. Like their cousins and friends would sleep with them after they do. It is like buying and selling material goods.

I would like to summarise as: yes that hotel is known for its escorts

I followed a really high society man on instagram and realised he was following a Russian girl. Went to check this girls account and followed her. She moved to istanbul turkey and was living there for a few months. All of this mans friends were following her and liking her pictures.

They would take turns to date (fuck) her. Every week a new guy.

She went to the most expensive clubs/ restaurants/ bars. Rolex’s etc etc.

A few weeks ago she posted a story going back to Russia with a economy class ticket back seat. You see you can feel up in the sky for a few months weeks days but in reality at the end you’re out of the door when the fun is over.

You don’t all of a sudden become classy and be let into high society... no sorry. AND WITH NO DEGREE OR NO CAREER ahhahahhxhxhhdhdhh

about the breakfast, its turkish culture we do that our breakfast is meant to be big and have alot of options it translates to “spread” like a spread of food. I’m sure it was on the menu not anna being greedy for once

I mentioned eastern european a few times I would like to specify I have nothing against them. Nothing but love. Its so sad but there is a huge stigma on what the middle east think about women from there. You can ask for yourself. Don’t agree. But i’m making a point that anna fits the stereotype and she isn’t doing herself a service they won’t take her seriously. Hence her age and shes not married :/

but... why did she launch a product when the materials aren't even 50% ready? I get some companies start selling earlier to get some cash rolling but she's still editing the 2nd video of the course that's out this Monday??

Perfectly said.

She is so blinded by ego! Completely unable to self-reflect which is why she keeps making these huge gaffes.

In her mind, if you don’t get what she’s trying to say, you’re the problem. (She has a very childish mind/ nearsighted perspective).

She also has very little self-awareness and lacks humility. This is why she’s always extremely defensive and masculine. She’s so injured from whatever she went through in her past that she interprets everything as an attack!!

No grown woman who is able to think for themselves can ever truly respect her because Anna has nothing to teach someone who:

1. grew up in a semi-normal family (with a loving parent),
2. did well in school (well enough to develop a solid self-esteem),
3. had a semi-normal and enjoyable childhood,
4. has actually been respected by a man,
5. has accomplished stuff in her life that she’s really proud of, etc.

These types of women have NOTHING to learn from Anna (at least not $1,000 worth, lol). But silly Anna has her head so far up her ass that she thinks “her transformation” and “personal brand” will impress you so much that you’ll give her $1,000 for information that could easily be found in ACTUAL published books (by people that spellcheck and actually write with proper sentence structure). Yes, some ladies actually enjoy reading REAL BOOKS, my dear elegant Aija Darling. Not all ladies are desperate for a quick fix/ magic pill because their lives aren’t as bad as yours is/was.

What can Anna teach a lady that has high self-esteem? What can Anna teach a lady that has been able to secure a romantic relationship with someone that loves & respects her? What can Anna teach a lady that has earned her way through school and/ OR work and is so proud of her accomplishments? What can she teach someone who is comfortable seeking guidance from professionally written material and prefers to read a book when they need answers regarding personal finance, career/professional, or self-help/ self-development, etc.? The answer to all of the above is NOTHING!! She has nothing to offer these types of women.

People with deep insecurities & low self-esteem are the perfect prey. Listen to her story and you’ll see that she grew up with deep insecurities & low self-esteem. It takes one to know one! And NOW she’s using the same pain points that were once her triggers to lure in her perfect customer. The one that is: 1. not going to ask any questions, 2. Not going to seek any proof (meaning, cross reference what she says to her real life), or 3. is so desperate, that she “doesn’t mind” not getting her full monies worth!

Which now she calls them "mediocre".
For someone who claims their call is to empower women, she's great on dividing and shaming ("modern elegance", right? See the same pattern in some of her followers.)
Guess all stories she comes up of watching another woman not acting by "the Anna Bey way" might be made up and/or got roots in pure jealousy - By watching something she cannot be/emulate.

Gosh that is SO TRUE!! I didn’t even catch that, but you’re totally right about the way she phrases it so that you end up feeling INFERIOR/ inadequate if you don’t choose to SWALLOW the Anna Bey PILL!

A predator through & through. Very cultish. Stay away from this ladies.

If she wasn’t so predatory and if she wasn’t offering such low-effort garbage, I wouldn’t feel the need to warn people.
