PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

News flash! I just tried it and it's not there anymore. Is it just down or gone? Has she skipped town?! What if someone needs a hug?!

Update! Site is back and Rhonda's personal training sessions for 2006 are sold out. What kind of goose would pay big money to hear a bunch of buzz words and self help jibberjabber?

She won't be playing wife and mother if Scott keeps "needing space." According to her latest blog, he's told her he "needs some time alone." I wonder if her desperation is scaring him off.

She probably got waaayyyy too many calls from Piss-T to bear. Plus, since there are some disgruntled folks with her "boot camp" experience, she's gonna want to go low on the radar screen. JMHO

The body image teleconference? That's how someone on another MB got the news from Rhonda. Bringing all three season's SO graduates did suggest the show was being cancelled. But, in the final moments of this show, Iyanla invited Niambi back, to the next SOH. Sending the viewers a mixed message about SO's future.

OH my goodness, did any of you read this blog? Wow, she is really full of herself, or she needs to talk big to make herself feel better. How exhausting can it be to come up with lame excersizes day after day. She is not a hero because she came up with a TV show based solely on how she survived her horrific childhood. She survived but did she thrive. She has no steady relationship and is closer to 50 than 40. She has no children, not that you must have either of these things to be successful but besides her overpriced Life counseling services what does she have? I need no answers from her and in fact could give her some advice....grow up, make your own life great. Dress like an adult. Make yourself happy and a man will come looking, you don't have to look for him. Being the girlfriend of a man with a 3 year old does not make you understand in the least what it is to be mommy...not in the least. She has a mommy, you are just dad's girlfriend. The bond and stress involved in really parenting are so much deeper than you seem to know.....well, that's enough. The first season she had a great idea, real women with real manageable problems, by the last season she was all about making the houseguests look foolish so she could look wonderful....yuk!

"Creative" exercizes, huh? Sending an unwed mother to feed a bear marshmallows with her mouth, a preacher's daughter out to kiss strangers on a street corner and a 40 something, wearing baby clothes, to play with toddlers. What's "creative" in Rhonda's book is just plain stupid in mine. There's no value in such "exercizes" other than to humiliate the HG.

I don't think a real therapist would make a fool out of their patients like she did and she charges WAY more for an hour and just does it over the phone. I bet she does her ironing at the same time. And boy do they lay down the law in the rules. Above all don't call just to connect or become Rhonda's friend or she'll hang up on you with no refund. Yep, she sure loves people.

Hi backatcha Anne18! A previous post stated that Rhonda's staff is being rude and arrogant. Wonder if she's having trouble making payroll plus I bet she killed her message board due to people starting to wisen up and complain. The nerve of someone to charge way more per hour than a professional therapist. I wonder if she's starting to hear from lawyers or the Better Business Bureau.

The money back guarantee is non-existant. LOL The staff is probably tired of dealing with the calls.Anyway, because of Rhonda's marketing degree, she has been able to market herself by having the Fearless Living Institute, talks, workshops, phone calls, SO, and her publicity reads like a marketing pro - she writes them herself! lol But the thing is, if Rhonda just had a psychology degree, and none of the ploys to make money, she would be much happier just for helping people.

I can't access the "startingovertv.com" website! It just jumps to NBC-Universal Studios. Today, "Starting Over" suddenly went off the air in the Las Vegas viewing area. It had been running weekdays at 10:00am. I love the show! I wonder what happened?!?

Rhonda is desperatly grasping at straws right now to make money so she doesn't have to get a real job. She is now selling aluminum stones which say fearless on them. You get 3 of them in a little bag for $15.00. Some suckers will buy them just because they have to do with Rhonda are from Rhonda's site. IMO Rhonda knows her stint of making money for repeating the same things over and over is about washed up. She has nothing new to say and people are getting tired of her.

Well, she should be able to pinch pennies living in an inexpensive town like Vail! I expect her to disappear for a while only to show up on late night infomercials. Maybe she can peddle a home based coarse on life coaching where you can earn a B.S. degree and become a profession BSer.

I am thinking about joining Rhonda's member's calls. I was wandering if anything goes. Because I read on this MB where she will hang up if you try to connect with her. My question is if I asked something personal during a member's call would I get cut-off and kicked out of the system? Or if I had a bad day and needed help would I get cut-off?

Don't do it. There are many PROFESSIONAL counselors and therapists who charge less and are better equipped to help you. I've taken advantage of professional counseling in the past and no therapist ever told me to "Get Real!!" while cutting a Z in the air and bobbing their head back and forth.

Don't join her website as a paying member. You pay $200 a year to supposidy get all these member benefits when in reality you don't get much. I have been a member for a year and believe me it wasn't how they made it sound. Out of the 11 member calls I was in on she wasn't there for 4 of them-she had someone filling in for her. On the member calls she doesn't really take any personal questions about herself-that is true and fair-but she does allow some people to dominate the call and go on and on about their issues and she often treats them like garbage and then if they don't agree with what she says is their answer she gets mad and then is condescending. If she gets mad that you don't adore her and her advice she then refers to you as "darlin" and "sweetheart" and says things like "Well I guess you really don't want to be coached do you?" As far as other benefits she doesn't add much to the meber section other than audio streams of member calls. She has added 2 additional things to the existing member section in the last year. If she has teleclasses she charges over $120.00 for them which is ridiculous. Her workshops and appearing at special events is very high priced as well. Like the other posters said save your money for a true professional who can help you as a person and doesn't spend their time trying to dominate you and just get money out of you. She charges $400 an hour for telephone one on one coaching what does that tell you about her ego? I liked her at first but seeing how she treats paid members of her site and how the office staff treats people at her institute it is a rip off. I got sucked in but won't do it again.

37. "RE: I have a question?" |
Rhonda should be ashamed of herself. I don't think she's enlightened, healed or any of that now-a-days, into yourself, jibber jabber. She seems bitter and smart alecky. One good way to see if someone's conning you is to act like you're not buying what they're selling and see if they get mad at you. She takes advantage of people plain and simple. She was just in the right place at the right time and got to be on television for a couple of years and has used that to her own advantage. In my own opinion, this whole idea of reinventing your life and seeing things in a whole new light that will change you forever is something that gets wheeled out every other decade or so. If you "find yourself" you may be in for a big disappointment. Face it. For most people in this world life is mundane. Keep yourself busy so you won't sit and get depressed instead of trying to maintain a constantly optomistic mindset that doesn't naturally come to you, not to mention setting unreachable goals for yourself that ultimately send you into a downward spiral only to go staggering back to the self help section of the book store for a little hair of the dog that bit you.

And, what could we call thier support group. SHA? Self Helpists Anonymous. Seriously, falling for all this new agey "self help" crap can be as disruptive as alcohlism. Instead of living, and enjoying life, people have their noses stuck in the latest "self help" book. Be yourself, I say. Not who Rhonda, Iyanla, and all those other "coaches" and "gurus" say you ought to be.

38. "RE: Confused" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-23-06 AT 10:51 AM (EST)One day I was bored, so I Googled Rhonda and I came across this article where there was this Starting Over presentation and there this woman who said that she asked Rhonda for a hug and Rhonda said "Sure you can". I don't know the date of when this took place. I also read, again I don't know how long its been, but on the Fearless MB there was this woman who said that her and Rhonda chated. But, please don't get me wrong, I do believe you! Did she change since then? But thinks for the advice! By the way how is Rhonda's life coach traing program.

40. "RE: Confused" |
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.

Rhonda is a sad and bitter woman who wants to be a star but has no real skills or talent so will never be one. She preys on vulnerable people who have real problems and takes advantage of them emotionally and financially. All of her trite "coaching" can be found in any self-help book. She never would have been given the time of day much less even a dollar for her time if she hadn't briefly been on TV. Hopefully her 15 minutes of fame are almost over and she will stop conning people into thinking they should pay her for what they can do themselves.

Sorry you got "suckered" and ripped off by Rhonda. The one person she should've told "Well I guess you really don't want to be coached, do you?" was Lisa N, at her first BOR. Followed by "Here's your grade," as she flashes her a paper with a humongous F on it, "You've got ten minutes to pack up and leave" and, "No, Allison, you may not fix her a ham sandwich!" Instead of creating a brand new grade for her.

Her website is still there. I've been accessing her blogs via another MB. Here's the direct link. http://www.fearlessliving.org/blog/rhonda Apparently, her relationship with Mr love-a-Lot is alive and well. Several blogs ago, he asked for some time off. Apparently that issue was resolved. Since then, they attended some parenting "classes" with his ex-wife. Their latest adventure? Rock climbing! Which reminds me of Layne! Doing things she hated, trying to impress her "third" fiance. Of course, I don't see any comparison. I think Rhonda's athletic enough to actually enjoy rock climbing. Even though she was self conscious about her butt hanging 100 feet in the air. I'll bet, in her mind's eye, that sucker was growing bigger by the minute!
