[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a good look into the divorce

It's a good parsing out of what happened and why how she approached many things was problematic.

[quote]Rachel Hollis is so far above the rest of us that she gets away with shaming anyone who “fails” at anything, including mental health and weight loss. [Note: examples provided in article,] If they don’t reach their goal, they didn’t try hard enough. They didn’t want it bad enough. Well, what about this divorce? How can she tell the world that she’s “worked endlessly” on her marriage when she’s already said repeatedly that if you really want something, you’ll make it work?

For someone who loves to dole out advice about how to be successful, she sure has a problem with accepting failure. Especially her own.

...

By now, some folks think I’m being way too hard on Rachel, especially since I make a living by openly discussing my own life. My hope, however, is that people understand the difference between writing with vulnerability and setting yourself up as an actual life coach.

Anytime I write about making progress in my life, I have to follow it up with the three steps (at least) that I’ve also taken back. Because that’s what success actually looks like. It’s messy and tinged with various failures along the way. We want success to be some beautiful end game but it’s really just one complex piece of the journey.

When Rachel leaves her failures out or tries to dress them up as if they’re in the past, she does no one any favors — the least of all herself.[/quote]
