Maisie Hill

I couldn't find a thread on Maisie so I thought I'd make one.

Maisie Hill is the author of Period Power.

I like some of the topics and what she says on her podcast but the idea of staying in bed to work or planning your life around your cycle is completely unfeasible for most people. There’s no way I could do this! I need to crack on and go to work.

I’ve had to finally unfollow after this:

I think since writing Period Power she’s been diagnosed with autism? Maybe some of what she has blamed on her cycle in the past is actually her struggles living with undiagnosed autism.

I really struggle with PMS and have quite short cycles so it feels very constant. As above though I have a job and two kids and need to crack on...there are a lot of ‘period experts’ out there and some of their content is good but some of it comes across as a bit narcissistic.

I think she has autism and it’s something to do with that

I find something about her quite off and I don't know what it is.

She's very selective on who she talks to and replies to Instagram I've noticed.

I'm pleased to see a thread about her but wish it was a bit more active. I really value the things she talks about but take it all with a massive pinch of salt. She has a hugely privileged standpoint and as mentioned above, it just isn't realistic for most people.

That being said, I don't actually think she is trying to appeal to the masses. Once I made the connection that her mentor/coach specialising in helping people build membership organisations it all fell into place for me and made sense of why everything felt off.

The Flow collective fee is never mentioned but she raves about the benefits of joining. The podcast and most of her online presence is pointing towards joining the collective being the main way to see results. That being said, I haven't read the book and definitely intend to at some point, and I've heard she is more open in there about actual techniques to see improvement.

I've noticed that too. It all just points to the flow collective and membership fees.

I find her to be quite stuck up if I'm honest. I've noticed people have asked her things in her comments, sometimes it's the same few people, but she never responds to them. However, any blue ticks and she's right up their arses.

That doesn't surprise me at all. More exposure to sell more books and memberships help get the word out and help more people I suppose.

I saw a job listing she posted to work on her team and was really shocked and quite appalled by some of the language used and it was almost so openminded that it came full circle and was quite toxic. Basically saying that to work for her you can never complain. Seems very hypocritical of some of some of her teachings and just plain selfish to be honest.

That is terrible. Yes you're right, that is toxic as duck, I'd hate to work for her.
I don't like her one bit. There is something off about her for sure.

Surprised this is a quiet thread! She's now selling her business expertise and has branded her herself as a multiple 6 figure business owner and business coach.

I thought her period book was ok but when she started promoting her membership group like it was some sort of second coming, I switched right off!
