### 2/5 — Content is good, customer service sucks

*2026-02-21*

I had trouble logging into my account after purchasing some of the paid content. I emailed them multiple times to ask for help. Never heard back from anyone, it’s been 2 weeks.

### 4/5 — Meh

*2024-12-10*

I love the IG channel, but I feel like I paid money to watch a 20 second video once a week. What am I missing?

### 4/5 — Great content!

*2022-05-20*

I love the content already!! The PDFs are so helpful. The videos won’t play, though. Any suggestions? Thanks!
