So if Lea does in fact have ADHD (I’m not saying she does, but she does have some *potential signs*—which is all that comment was saying), she’ll grow up without the support she needs because her parents want to think she’s “normal.” Rachel likes to think she’s so edgy and alternative but just like your average boomer parent in many ways. I didn’t get an ADHD diagnosis until adulthood for the same reason; my parents had a stigma against neurodivergence and wanted to think their children were “completely normal.” Meanwhile I had to struggle and feel like I was secretly deficient in some way my entire life, when all I needed was to be told that my brain just works differently and get the kind of support I needed (which for ADHD sometimes includes medication and sometimes not). The confidence and entitlement Rachel feels to speak on things about which she’s entirely ignorant is so laughable, but also ultimately very sad because her kids may very well be the ones who have to deal with the consequences of her hubris.

Did she really just put her baby who “flips himself over” constantly in an unbuckled bouncy seat on the deck *while she was out in the water*??? And the story about all the meat and fish being wasted! Artisanal sausage?? Wtf even is that? A way to make a former vegan feel better about herself? I just literally can’t with her anymore.

Okay, I have never done this before, but I just reported those two stories for misinformation.
YG has absolutely no authority to claim ANY of the 'reasons' she gives for a baby not breastfeeding. Putting a hat on a newborn? Seriously?
These two slides are wild.
Also in regards to her deciding that anxiety after her first birth was solely caused by the evil doctors and her therapist supporting this theory?
No therapist and especially a trauma informed one would let this be the outcome of sessions.
I am starting to think the therapists she sees or has seen in the past might not be university educated and licenced psychotherapist, but are comparable to her mould 'doctor'. Maybe they also just took an online course in 'healing'
Her rant about lying the baby on the back or on the belly is just as nuts.
Those recommendations are based on statistics and scientifical research. But because of that it means for Rachel to do exactly otherwise.
And QueenBW you are right, she can do what she wants but she spreads it to her followers and that is dangerous.

Also, a weighted blanket on a BABY??!! I'm not a mother but it sounds cuckoopuffs to me.
Rachel, do you think you are special for weighing and measuring your baby at home!? Geez, why must you shit on everyone else in order to make yourself feel important? Most freebirthers don’t spend the time you do bashing the medical system, they just choose to live without it. Why can’t you? Why are you obsessed with tearing others down? What’s wrong with you?
it’s mind boggling this arrogant idiot was once a yoga instructor. Everyday she discredits her previous “yoga” work more and more. She would be cancelled if her yoga book came out today. She REALLY needs to take the “yoga” out of her Instagram if she has any respect for it. She doesn’t carry yoga’s values and she knows it too. It’s beyond shameful for her to continue to abuse it.

I'm guessing it's a bit more complicated because she had a Yoga Girl office in Sweden for a while, they had an office and a team. So I imagine they paid taxes for that for years, even before the move. And I think it might be that she incorporated her Yoga Girl corporation in Sweden.
That said, considering her father is a millionaire and she makes heaps of money just from recording nonsense for an hour every week, I would be ashamed of myself for claiming benefits when I don't actually need them.
Also, if she's claiming maternity leave pay but is actually still working (calling recording the podcast working is a stretch but that's where she gets her money), isn't that fraud? I would imagine if you have an office job and go on mat leave and get your pay, you shouldn't also be going into the office and being paid extra through that. Cause that's what she's doing. She's claiming a monetary benefit supposed to be to keep the mom home, not working, but she's still making money off her usual work.

She's got to be joking.
Calling her concerned followers idiots. Admitting she had no idea if the baby was head down, saying it would have all been more dangerous in the hospital. And then topping it off with claiming her social media break was amazing. It was barely a few weeks and she would pop up and post ever couple of days.
What a fucking liar.

YG peaked a few years ago and has been on a downward trend for awhile. Recently over a 100,000 people disliked her content so much they unfollowed her. Out of her 1.9 million remaining followers she only gets only 1-5% engagement. I wonder how many of her followers aren’t even actively using Instagram anymore. Maybe she paid for bots early on. However according to Rachel’s podcast bio she inspires millions everyday!!!
Her rating on Spotify dropped from 4.8 to 4.7 recently too. It’s like the more people get to know Rachel the less they will like her….

Same here. It seemed like Ringo was the new and improved objects, as she never (barely ever) mentioned the other two dogs by name or otherwise.
I desperately hope this will not be Lea's fate now that she has a (cute) new brother.
I think the only other dog she talked about extensively was Pepper, who died unexpectedly and he is another example for her grief tourism narratives.

She’s so disturbing. Also over the years she didn’t really pay Laika or Quila much mind? I followed her way back in the thick of her Aruba days. I honestly didn’t realize she had two other dogs because all she posted was Ringo. Those poor old dogs being forced into crates, flown across the ocean…
This was exactly my thought process as well… sure, you just picked some random bowl from your cupboard, we believe you!… I’ll bet you anything she has no problem blatantly lying about these kinds of life details and stories because Dennis (or anyone else in her life for that matter) doesn’t bother fact-checking her stories, since he already gets too much of her at home, he can’t be bothered to watch her stories.Exactly. I find it hard to believe that she didn’t pick this bowl out ahead of time or maybe even buy it especially for this purpose. She thought about every other detail of her birth way in advance but doesn’t think about or prepare for what the placenta is going to be in? They knew they weren’t going to cut the cord right away so whatever they used was going to be in close proximity to her and the baby for awhile. And, most importantly (
And as for bashing the journalist, claiming she spent “a good amount of time researching the bowl, no doubt”… uhm, have you not heard of reverse image search Rachel? It takes all of 1 minute, max. She just loves the idea of someone spending there whole day trying to get to the bottom of her very ordinary placenta bowl…

Very well said. I’ve noticed that she’s said a lot recently “we need to change the narrative that birth is scary and dangerous” I’ve never heard anyone, ever, describe birth as frightening or scary or like this horrific frightening extremely risky experience? Personally or in a more general sense. What narrative is she referring to? Is this how all the free birth moms have brainwashed her into referring to the GP who have hospital births? It’s just so weird I don’t have that sense at all about the general “narrative” surrounding giving birth

So Quila passed away, not sure how couldn't take Rachel's performative grief stories for too long. But she's there, boobs out, crying. Saying she's so so tired but so grateful. And so heartbroken. What kind of psychopath do you have to be to film yourself crying while breastfeeding claiming to be heartbroken? Why does everything have to be performed for others?
She's like that "if a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" thing. If a Yoga Girl cries without filming, does it even count?

I reported her for misinformation too. How horrible for her to say that all babies born with c section have issues. It is often the last option when the baby or the mother are at risk. And Rachel shames them? She is so lucky for having two simple births without complications and two healthy babies.

Hiiiiiii Rachel.
"My baby isn't sick". Right cause it's a sign of optimal health to have trouble breathing.
And way to shame only children. It's good to have a sibling? Why? How? You can never know. Lea might have been better off an only child. You'll never know. It's a ghost ship now.

The maternity swindler. UnBEARable privileged Rachel BRAThen. I’m ok- you’re not, but I will cry pretend tears for you, then fuck off to an extended Maldives holiday. Ps- I’m looking for some slaves to come and run my farm so I can spend all day on my phone.
Same here!
The way she makes him work on their “beloved farm”. I always think he looks exhausted. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if he questions his life and longing for something else.mightyraven62
