    Fascinatingly, the Reddit anti-mlm community seems to dislike the UA-cam anti-mlm community (they think it's "mean girl behavior"), so it's not a surprise that they like Hannah the most since she's easily the kindest.

    I SO appreciate Roberta acknowledging women who haven’t had kids. I couldn’t have kids and it’s always a stab to my heart when I hear things like “Motherhood is the most important and hardest job in the world!” Or the worst, “You just don’t know what love really is until you have a baby!”. 😒 So the inclusivity is so kind. ❤

Thank you for opening my eyes to something else, broadening my horizons. There's something that I always about being a mom and having kids, I'll no longer say that anymore.

    I agree with Roberta that Hannah's channel is an ideal starting point for consuming anti-MLM content, but for a different reason: It's the quality of Hannah's analysis, which is virtually always spot on accurate, articulate, and persuasive.

  • @katherinerinck3722

    I love Hannah's channel. She was MY gateway to antimlm! I watch snarkier channelsas well, and I think CC Suarez summed it up well when she said that her focus is keeping people from ever joining in the first place, and that is why she goes a little harder on the people she comments on. Hannah and Roberta are clearly geared towards people who are already in. I think it's great to have a wide variety of voices so that a wide variety of people can recieve the message.

      Absolutely! There are many, many different approaches to advocacy in this space. I have a “been there, done that” approach and my ADHD makes me very curious about the patterns and connections that allow people to be convinced this is a good idea. As long as people are connecting to this information with SOMEONE, it’s a win for me. ❤️

    After having a baby myself I had been curious about your experiences and a little disappointed not to hear more until now (I'm not a fan of family vlogging & wasn't expecting that either). I had no idea you lost viewers over it, that's ludicrous to me!! I also had morning sickness nonstop for my entire pregnancy AND an intense fear of vomiting. What a nightmare. I actually LOST weight lol no worries though, the baby is thriving and happy. Glad yours is too!! Sending lots of love ❤️

    Been watching Hannah’s channel for a couple of months. Cannot wait for the new deep dives. I’m excited to watch yours now too! My childhood dentist (who I loved) had your last name.
    On the baby subject, my mom gave birth to preemie twins when I was 13. Once they came home from the hospital after many long weeks, my 11 year old sister and I took over the 5 am feeding so our mom could get a few consecutive hours of sleep. The 7 year old was exempt. Yes, there are five of us total. Thankfully we are good friends now at 40, 38, 34, 27, and 27. It won’t come as a surprise that I’m the one who decided I wasn’t going to be a parent. If we had a “red tent” like some 3,000 old cultures, I might have concluded differently.

    I just found Hanna’s UA-cam a couple of weeks ago. This channel today. Great info and yes she informs without offending. I have been a Mary Kay Consultant for 28 years. I did join because my consultants kept dropping out. I love the products and do sell to friends and family. Recruiting has never been my thing. For me it works. But I do see the dangers of getting into debt etc. Thank you for educating unsuspecting people. I don’t care for get rich tactics. I have a few stories I can send at a future date. Also another MLM I haven’t heard Hanna talk about. ASEA Since this is the first video I’m watching on this channel. I’ll do a search. ❤ thank you again.

    I'm so sorry you had to hear it from your listener's/ subscriber's about the time off you took. My husband & I aren't able to have children due to infertility. But I, from seeing it with my sister, first hand how sickness during pregnancy just puts you out of commission for a while.
    It's a shame the expectations and demands people put on you by telling you that reading emails/ horror stories isn't hard so you need to keep producing content. It's as though they feel you put this content soly out there just for them so they can act as though they are your work boss and can tell you what to do and that's definitely not okay! Keep doing what you do and don't mind the bitter people. I love your content!

    Was sad to see all the bad assumptions about Hannah because of her pregnancy. I've seen people say she played up being sick and didn't post so more people would get worried for her and watch the pregnancy video. That's such a vile thing to accuse someone of that you don't know anything about. Like antiMLM people always criticize MLMs for not allowing new mothers to take a break and then they do the same

    Emeotophobia controlled me for a looooong time and I'm still not totally out of that pattern. It's awful. When I learned about HG (what Catherine, Princess of Wales had) and some women puke the whole time they are pregnant, I seriously considered making sure I could never have kids JUST to avoid that potential.
