She cleans my toilets,” I thought she was about to go off (!) about how there was dignity in all work. Not going to lie, when Hollis opened her monologue with “She’s my house cleaner. If my life is relatable to most people, I’m doing it wrong.Īnd then she went on to hashtag a list of amazing, “unrelatable” women like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Harriet Tubman, Oprah, Brienne of Tarth. Literally every woman I admire in history was unrelatable. Most people won’t fail publicly, again and again, just to reach the top of the mountain. Literally everything I do in my life is to live a life that most people can’t relate to. And I told her that and then she said, “Well you’re unrelatable” What is it about ME that made YOU think I wanna be relatable. Someone commented and said, “You are privilege AF.” And I was like, “You’re right! I’m super freaking privileged.” But also, I work my ass off to have the money to have someone come and clean my toilets. Okay, yesterday I was doing a livestream and I mentioned there’s this sweet woman who comes to my house twice a week and she cleans. If you are very online, you probably saw that Hollis recently got pushback when she posted a now-deleted video on her TikTok, which I saw reposted on Instagram because my daughter says my being on TikTok is “cringe.” Is This Post Sponsored by Lysol Clean & Fresh Toilet Bowl Cleaner? Lack of mental health resources and the shame around asking for help. The fucked up American scheme of getting health insurance though your job. The lack of inherited wealth for black and brown people. It’s downright cruel because it doesn’t work like that for most people, no matter their work ethic or intentions. Hollis believes in that lie that says, “Find something you love, and you’ll never work another day in your life.” That kind of aspiration is more than tone-deaf. She pushes the name it, claim it dogma, similar to the prosperity gospel sold by that other scammer, megachurch pastor/millionaire Joel Osteen. Wake, pray, purloin.Īlso problematic, Hollis is beloved by MLM companies like Beach Body and DoTerra and the people they victimize. She has been accused of plagiarizing quotes, before she formats them with a cute Canva font. Her schtick is the hustle lifestyle with a dash of Bible verses and boho-chic color palettes. Hollis is an influencer, best selling author, and public speaker. Her books include Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing, and in my head canon they are ghost written by Kameron Westcott. What do I think of her? Great gowns eyebrows, beautiful gowns barrel curls. I know of Rachel Hollis because I’m a person living in this bread and circus we call America, and I have a few Jesus-adjacent friends who post her stuff on the socials. I don’t typically read self-help unless it’s something very specific to my needs like When Panic Attacks or Winning Ugly: Mental Warfare in Tennis.
