Rhonda does let you hug her but you have to have paid money to get to the event she is at to do it. Her coaching program is a joke. It is full of other people who want to make money by sitting on the phone "coaching you" which basically entails the life coach from her place saying things like "How can you acknowledge yourself for that?" "How can you look at that more positively?" The work hard at taking your focus off the issues you have. They want people to look at things with rose colored glasses right away which keeps people from truly dealing with things. I was on a fearbuster group call and my fiance had just died a little bit before that and I was told that the FBG (which is for support) wasn't the place to discuss the fact that I was sad and afraid to get close to people again. I suggest that you stay away from the coaching program, the coaches, the fearbuster groups etc. They parrot the things Rhonda says and just want to make money doing it. The coaching program involves going to all the Fearless Living weekend conferences and then doing some phone calls with people (who they charge money to for the call) and then they have a chat on the phone with Rhonda and boom they're a coach. It is all a money making gimmick for Rhonda is what it boils down to. Those who have gone through her coaching program are not recognized in the profesional world nor do they come out with any credentials they can really use. Rhonda has changed drastically since the 3rd season of SO began. She has become more stuck up, more egocentric, spends her time at workshops talking about herself and is very money oriented. She is very self centered and wants people to adore her to feed her failing ego since she is not a tv star or best selling author.
