19:14 Gail: “Are you waiting for him to break?” Wife: “No” while she nods her head ‘yes.’

Gail wasted her time and money on this couple. He seems like a nice guy, but she has totally got him under her thumb. She's delusional. It doesn't mean they're not nice people and have big dreams, but they aren't living in reality. You have to work hard to achieve your dream. You can't just sit on your butt and wait for someone to knock on your door and hand you the money. I'm sure they'd be fun to have as friends, but I wouldn't want to be financially responsible for either one of them. Sorry to be harsh, but I am older and retired now and keeping up the struggle to maintain on my retirement. Boy do I wish I had a chance with Gail a bunch of years ago even though I live in the United states. I would be so much better off. I'm rewatching all of her videos, and trying to implement every piece I can pick out of it that I might be able to do. I Can Feel The Strain starting to go away already. I recommend everybody in a similar situation, do the same. Take charge, thanks to Gail, and go forward. Blessings to everyone.

Last week I was reading an article in the NYT on life coaching. It almost sounds like a MLM scheme. You take the expensive courses, and then try to rope in newbies to learn from your expensive courses. Yes, some people do actually earn a living if they can build up a steady clientele, but most never reach that level. Also, what makes her especially appealing to indigenous people. Does she have some in her ancestry? Has she had previous experience working closely with them in their communities? Or does she just think that dream-catchers are really pretty and lots of fun to make?

I am an artist and a musician. But I also have two kids, so I have to put them first. I work full time outside of my preferred field. Grow up, have lovely hobbies that make a little money and don't rely on other people to take care of you.

She is lazy and using him. Hope he dumps her and establishes no contact. Let her take care of herself.

I am a recording artist for over 20 years, and I find many musicians in the same predicament. Being a musician is not the only creative job you can do while working on your music. It takes humility to acknowledge your financial deficiency. There is nothing like accepting where you are in life and making adjustments. Change is inevitable and it is the only thing we can be sure of. I enjoy Gail and her suggestions and how she helps see their financial reality. This couple should be grateful for the lesson and the 3K they received instead of being disappointed that they did not receive the 5K. Show less

Most musicians don't get "discovered" -- they work to build their careers. If she taught music on the side and brought in some money, he would have enough time to look for side gigs playing at lounges, weddings etc.

Right away this "Expressive Arts Therapy", paid by card, seems some kind of private "course" with a very dubiously recognized "certification" . The only people who make a living off those careers are the ones selling the training.

The way she didn't break her creepy eye contact with that guy when making her noises. 👀 She is absolutely delusional. I wish Gail had told her that she's not talented. Someone needed to.

Yikes! Living in fantasy land. Note to self: don't be like these people. And she's a liability - way over-confident, deluded and doesn't sound good singing or present well at all.

Out of touch with financial reality???? Hell, she is out of touch with just reality!

Success is 1% talent and 99% transpiration. If you want to be successfull in art you have to work double as much as people in office jobs. A voice needs to be trained on a daily base.

Remember that one of their challenges was getting additional job(s) for extra money. They each tried to do so in the music field and both totally bombed the assignment. Teaching isn’t a bad idea, but I don’t think there is much demand for educators with his particular skill set. On the other hand, thrifting and Curb Alerts absolutely rule. We discovered thrifts in our early 30’s and have never looked back. (We have saved so much $$ that way.) I preach it to anyone who will listen. I am ever so grateful to people who only shop retail and consign/donate stuff they tire of.
