I had a nice call at first but it turned scripted and I felt manipulated into make a decision on the spot and shamed for not caring enough to do so.

Once at the end of the call when the price was made clear they sales person put pressure on me to take out a loan, credit card or even sell my car to make enough money to pay 20,000 for 12 week program.

I declined seven times and she used my story to make me feel that if I did not commit I would end up divorced and miserable. I did not feel supported at all. It felt like a scam and I happy I got out.

The program may have value but the costumer service is horrible. If you’re a woman with resources give it try but please be cautious. Seems fishy to me.

My “breakthrough call” with Megan Tuohey felt high-pressure and scripted rather than supportive. I sensed she was using my answers to push emotional pain points instead of creating safety or understanding. When I voiced discomfort, she labeled me defensive and uncoachable, and ended the call :). The interaction felt manipulative, not therapeutic. I’d encourage others to approach with discernment.

Breakthrough call was hell. It was supposed to be half an hour to 45 minutes. It ended up being double that I sat in my car and it was very hot day, and I was very emotional those days and she took advantage of that. She kept asking me the same questions over and over and over again, and when I became defensive, she started yelling at me and raising her voice saying that I was yelling to her, and she kept pushing and pushing and pushing for me to commit, and once I said yes her tone totally changed and she became the sweetest person ever and she was promising the sun and the moon. The scope of the program is good but if you commit to, it was $20,000 Canadian for me, if you put that much money into something, you will make sure you do it so you don’t just throw money around and not put the work, but a lot of work depends on you.I was not told that the sessions are in Group environment ever which was very disappointing as I couldn’t talk about some personal things in front of other strangers, I didn’t want to listen about some other problems that other women had because they had nothing to do with me, also my coach was not as engaging as she should have been considering she was my main contact with the program.Meg joins the calls but, she’s untouchable. All she was asking is for hits on her podcasts and making comments there and liking it and they kept advertising this retreat Kansas, which I was interested in doing, but you don’t get to do it unless you sign up for the next level program, which is $50,000 Canadian so yeah lots of misleading and half truths thrown at you… As I said, the program itself has some very strong and good points so if you are willing to put the work and effort it might help you…
However, if I spent $20,000 in three months in my hometown on intense therapies and healing, it would have been way way more 1on 1 and probably better results.
Good luck from the bottom of my heart

I had a great call and decided to do the program. I went to one group coaching call, went to one 1-1 coaching call, and watched two videos. I asked them to clarify my contract and how long "ongoing" access was with the materials, they wouldn't do it, so I didn't sign it. My second day in the program, I had something happened that meant I couldn't financially commit, so I told the team immediately, I didn't sign the contract, and I immediately stopped consuming content. They have refused to refund my money (I even suggested a prorated compromise for the little content I did consume), citing that I should "keep my word" and have refused to send me proof of the recording where I was apparently explained the no-refund policy. (They did not explain a no-refund policy, or I would 't be asking for one.). I feel like I did the right thing and they are shaming me. They will not even respond to emails now. The content looked great, but the business side was shady and predatory. Please be careful.

I almost never write reviews. However, I found reading other reviews supported my concerns. So I felt a strong urge to do the same. Below is a follow-up email I sent to "Jules", the person who interviewed me...
My husband (of almost 30 years) and I are currently navigating a challenging situation, yet I maintain a deep love for him and will always respect his decisions. As I explained to you, I needed to move money around and put money in an account we use for bills. In doing so, it opened up a valuable discussion with him. He originally supported my decision, however, the more I discussed the end of our conversion, the more concerned he/we both became.

Any company that truly believes in its offerings should not pressure individuals in vulnerable situations. I explained that my 15 year old daughter, who has Down Syndrome, had a difficult day at school and could not attend her after school activity, therefore she unexpectedly returned home just as our 1.5 hour conversation began. I needed to check in with her, give her a snack and medication. Yet you continued to push even harder. You mentioned many times the importance of family and children, yet your actions went against your preachings. It was disappointing that you attempted to undermine my decision by trying to manipulate my personal information against me. It saddens me that someone in a "supportive" role behaves this way. While we are facing difficulties, I will not allow a stranger to bully me. With this, I immediately questioned the company's practice when your scripted responses became insensitive and aggressive. In addition to Meg, you personally should be ashamed.

I initially had no issues with the program's cost. As your reviews stated, the final 15 minutes of our conversation became intensely pressuring, unprofessional and cruel. I encourage you to adopt a more respectful approach regarding financial commitments. Had you been more considerate, I would have been open to joining the program.

I’ve read several reviews here and my experience was similar to the other one star reviews. It appears, by many five star reviews, that the actual program may be worthwhile, but the manipulative tactics used in the “breakthrough” sales call is a definite put off. This is entirely surprising for a program that apparently works for many people, if you can trust the positive reviews. I had their “breakthrough” call. The breakthrough starts with, tell us how awful your marriage and life are. To my “coach,” I wasn’t unhappy enough with my circumstances so I was badgered into seeing my marriage and life as worse off than I had already conveyed to her. When I stated positives, I was told I was in denial. It was important to make me believe I couldn’t possibly move forward in life without their program. She also asked my permission at the beginning of the call for her to interrupt me if she felt my stories were blocking finding the real issues. I chuckled at that and she said “Oh, you laughed, do you have a tendency to do that?” I responded that I think many people do, that’s why I laughed. She said my laughing was also a form of denial. Through the rest of the call, since she had permission, she continually interrupted me but not because I was telling stories. It was so she could remain on script with the manipulative tactics. A few times in the call I called her out on the tactics which she twisted into that I am angry or putting up walls. When I told her I wasn’t sure if the issues I was having with her on the phone was because I was putting up walls or we just weren’t the right fit for each other, she attempted to soften her tactics. Near the end of the call, before the final pitch, she told me that I have “massive emotional disconnection.” Then she led into that the program only accepts women who are “decisive, coachable and resourceful.” That is when the full stench of the manipulation became crystal clear. I called it out as such. I asked her to be clear on what I would be getting with this program and how much it would cost so that I could be decisive in an informed decision and that my resources weren’t limitless so it was important for me to have all the information before I decide. She told me my hesitancy was likely showing I wasn’t going to be a good fit for the program. I said the manipulation was showing me that the program was probably not a good fit for me. She hung up.

I just got off a call with one of your sales reps. I’m going to call her a sales representative because that’s what the call turned in to. This call was very aggressive, disrespectful and uncalled for. She did a great job at the beginning . However, when I was not willing to pay $15,000 her head spun out of control and she became ruthless in her ways. I would like you to go back and listen to the recording because it was unacceptable. She allowed me to be vulnerable and then started lashing out. I feel like I am hopeless and a failure because I didn’t want to pay. She used everything I told her against me. Like my Grandchildren, and things that really impact me. All she did was pressure me and make me feel worse than I did before. You all are predators and you should be damn ashamed of yourself for acting like that towards people that are at a very, very vulnerable time in their life. People feel hopeless, they’re hurt and she just took advantage of all . she’s nothing but a damn bully.

If your program was true, like you presented it to be then it sounds like it would be great. But I don’t see how people find out because the people that are promoting for you are are predators & the price is outrageous. And now, seeing the other reviews, it must be based on your income, bracket the higher or more money you make the more the program cost. You need to watch what you do because you’re F-ing with woman’s lives and well being.

The first 45min Breakthrough Call started half an hour late, and I got some good insights from the questions asked, leaving the call with a disturbed feeling from the stuff I realized. We ran out of time and scheduled a call two days later. I was glad for the time between to gather my thoughts and questions about the program and read reviews online. Thanks to those here, I was prepared for the next call. We recapped and she tried to get me into that previous emotional state, asked me if I commit to having the 3 traits (decisive, coachable and resourceful) they look for in a client, which determines if you are a fit for their program. I went one by one stating how I see myself as each, maybe not what they wanted to hear. August escalated the tone. I asked what value they provide - the answer was a great loving relationship. Too conceptual, I asked what does the program entail, individual/group counselling, training videos, Q/A sessions, duration, what? what are you selling? Oh they aren't selling anyting - I laughed. You are not a charity, you are a business trading goods/services for money. Nope, have to commit. I'm confused, I just told you how I have all three traits and we now have less than 15 min on the call. August refused to answer any of my questions. She reiterated that this may not be a good fit. I said ok, thank you, good bye. I don't like their method of sales since they are not transparent on what they provide, depending on the emotional state and faith of the buyer. A better way is to show me HOW they can overdeliver to get me to the result I want.
Look at the dates of the reviews here. All the positive reviews were in spring 2025 within a short time of each other and no positive reviews since then.

Everything every other 1 star is true. Complete emotional manipulation for a generic program. Do not fall for it. They will get you vulnerable and prey on that.

My experience was very similar to the others who wrote reviews on here…the breakthrough call didn’t start on time, nowI am convinced it was because my “ coach” had someone on the hook and they were trying to reel them in. The interaction was strangely harsh, asking for specific answers and almost badgering me when I couldn’t provide the magic words. immediately decidedI was neurodivergent, when I scoffed at the insta-diagnosis that was clearly way off base, she proposed that perhaps my husband was neurodivergent…all this was about 10 minutes into the convo. Then came the “Close” . Was the same technique used in timeshare scamming or on line exercise coaching. The final straw was when she asked me how much money I had in my savings. What psychotherapy involves a review of your assets? So dangerous to let these scammers in your head! Run don’t walk away from this group!

I am happy to see that my terrible experience isn't unique but it's a very sad thing, especially so because this is happening with folks when they are at their most vulnerable, taking advantage of the fact that 'life coaching' and more broadly all kind of things that are being called coaching/therapy/counselling is largely unregulated and dangerous in the hands of unscrupulous ignorant people. But it's a good thing that people are coming forward sharing their experience to protect others from being bullied, gaslighted, and potentially thrown into more serious harm's way by unqualified practitioners playing with fire, aka, mental health. My 'breakthrough' call which I was really looking forward to given the flashy ads, social media flooding and huge promises made on the follow-up video was dangerous. The said video had Megan using terms like Gottman methods, mention of therapy, mental health and so on; it seems like Megan herself, is good with videos (I keep on getting more and more ads from her company where she talks about conversation, translation, and so on) and if you listen to her, you might feel she cares, and she knows what she s talking about. I thought the same and therefore, before posting a review, directly reached out to her to give her honest, polite feedback and help her see how the actions of her companies coach on the call is cruel and can be dangerous. I offered to provide name, time stamps, evidence and details - but never heard back. Then I came here and realized this is what the company in entirety is and its possibly not a one coach problem. Coming back to my experience: 1. The coach couldn't substantiate most of what Megan says in the video - from Gottman method, to approach, to statistics and when asked clarifying questions (I have knowledge on some of this from my qualified therapist's sessions), she got angry again and again, interrupted me at first few words (going on on monologues herself), and called me un-coachable, defensive, not fit for the program, my asking questions for something I have to pay money for shows that I can't trust, that's why I have problems. You can imagine how cruel it is, and yet, this is the oldest practice in the book - used by spell casters and scammers, and also businesses claiming to be on your side. 2. Unprofessionalism - as other reviewers have also experienced. The coach texted post first call start time that she'd be fifteen minutes late, asked for more time (that too additional hour plus) which needed to apparently happen asap for my own good - and said she'd send me timeslot for the very next day - which she never did. After me reaching out, since I was expected to block my entire day/keep open for an hour long call at short notice which I didn't know when to expect, she scrambled to send me a time via text, joined late again and so on. The email from company asked for pertinent details and additional documents if they'd be helpful - which I took time to send yet the coach said on the second call -I am not going to read your letters/that email is not monitored by me/its not my job...and so on multiple times. I had asked her if she has seen what I sent and should I send again and she had said yes, so I took the time to send again - this time directly to her as discussed. This all should be on recording of-course, but then again - the company seemingly doesn't care. 3. On the second call she insulted me multiple times - despite me trying to explain why I was trying to ask the questions and the very serious mental health aspects involved. She told me that me asking questions, including on confidentiality (will write more in 4. point) is why the relationship is in trouble. 5. Confidentiality - she basically told me there's no confidentiality in the program after contradicting many things Megan herself claims in ad videos, and posted on reviews on the website. When I asked her about that after hearing there will be group QnA sessions only (its a huge concern I have for any coaching or therapy I get into and I would like to believe that is true for all women as this is a sensitive and private part of life, with often children involved), she told me 'this is not a HEPA thing' and asked something like what do you mean? I asked her if there's confidentiality clause for the other women in sessions or the company to honor and she got angry at me. The bullying is hopefully recorded but basically 'overthinking' made me a failure and unfit to be coached. I requested quite early on to transfer me to someone else, she refused. When I told her in the end I don't think I am a good fit and wanted to explain why (confidentiality), she hung up on me, saying I don't need to. The experience was so dehumanizing, taking this one size fits all approach and bullying folks at their lowest can push someone over the edge and cause serious damage.

They nearly cancelled our "breakthrough call" with an email "Our policy is that we don't leave a client if
they need us, and if it were you we would absolutely do the same thing, so we appreciate your understanding."
They say it is 'rare' that they cancel a call. This is not true. And they are trying to extract money from someone on another breakthrough call.
After 45 minutes of sharing your most vulnerable fears, this "coach" will ask you what your future looks like if you don't turn things around. She basically gets you to say your worst ideation for you and your family and then she loads the gun for later with whatever you shared. She asks if there are any secrets you are keeping from your husband that they should know about, infidelity, addictions etc. She makes you verbally commit to moving forward before she hits you with a pricetag of a $20,000 "investment in your future". BUT she will kindly offer you a $5,000 discount if you accept by the end of the call. Her low price is $13,000 if you pay all at once. When I said that was a lot of money and that I would need to discuss it with my husband she says, "I guarantee he will not let you do this course." And I respond, so as a professional, your advice is to secretly spend $15,000 when you know we are saving up for a down payment on a home? She said, "what is your marriage worth? She throws out a lousy statistic that it will be impossible to change things around without their help. She says, "when I check back up on you in a year I hope...(all the problems you shared with her) aren't still happening. She says that you are not saying yes because that is your fear making your decisions. Meanwhile, she is trying to scare you into spending money. She gets VERY desperate when she realizes you are trying to end the call. I tell her the tone of the call has shifted and is very uncomfortable. She tells me not to call back or email, I am not the coachable (idiotic) type of person they are looking for.

The so called" counselor "was condescending, rude, combative and insensitive. She kept asserting that I was uncoachable and over bearing toward my husband. It was so confusing because one would think that she would be understanding in order for me to sign up. It was like some mind trick to be rude and ask questions that seem to imply that I'm not coachable. It was distressing and perplexing. I will not be so desperate. I'm thankful for this experience though,because it was a viable lesson to beware of searching for answers on social media. Instead it has led me to renew my faith in God.

Signed up for a breakthrough call. No call received. Received an email apologizing and asked to reschedule. I rescheduled a second time. Did not receive a phone call when I rescheduled. I had to input some of my personal background relationship information. When you take multiple times out of your day to schedule something and they don’t show up it definitely reduces your sense of trust for this program. Would have like to learn more, but don’t want to waste any more of my time.

Pure manipulation. During the "Breakthrough" call, they first collect information about issues you have with your marriage and what would happen if it weren't resolved. Once a certain level of vulnerability is achieved, including the conclusion that one is too rational and controlling, they ask if one is "being decisive, coachable and resourceful" to achieving the solution. One has to give full commitment (including financial) before knowing the price of the 12 week program. When I asked what the cost would be, I was told I stepped right back into being controlling and distrusting. And, finally, when I wasn't going to sign up like that, she told me my worst fears in my life would come true and I wasn't a fit for the program.
One win: I am more determined then ever to make my marriage a happy place again, so in a way, this was a true breakthrough. But I saved over $10,000.
I felt prayed upon and manipulated. I was pretty rattled and after I hung up, the first thing I did was call my husband. Now, a couple of days later, I am angry. How many women have been manipulated into paying tons of money with this horrible style of selling? Using your own language to catch you, scare you, using your vulnerabilities to threaten you into submission?

I think people should honestly be glad when the call gets canceled and they never have to connect with the “coach.” During my call, I shared my reasons for wanting to join the course and opened up about my fears and concerns. At the end, I was hit with a $15k price tag and told I could pay in 3 installments. I said that was way too expensive and that I needed to discuss it with my husband. That’s when the coach got kind of aggressive, really pushing me to sign up for a $15k commitment without even talking to him. When I said I didn’t have that kind of money lying around, she literally asked about the limits on my credit cards and said if I truly wanted change, I should just go for it.

When I told her I wasn’t comfortable doing that, she started throwing back the exact fears I had just shared with her earlier, trying to use them against me. They can’t even provide real info on actual results or solid testimonials — just random screenshots from a Facebook page, and who knows if those are even real people.

Don’t fall for it, y’all!

Btw: my “coach” was Jeanine

The absolute worst. If I could give Minus 5 stars I would. On the free session which they recorded (OUTRAGEOUS!!), they put on a person who had ZERO qualifications on how to assess a client and minus zero on how to give constructive suggestions. She was trying to psychoanalyze me for no reason, was rude, made dumb and insensitive comments and kept on asking stupid questions over and over again. Please stay away from this service. They will do more harm than good. I hung up after 25 minutes and the dumb kid kept on calling back to harass me. They better not disclose the little private info I provided. I wouldn’t put anything past them. The interviewer IS THE MOST INCOMPETENT PERSON I’VE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

I signed up for the free 45 minute call that was advertised on my facebook feed. Scheduled a date and time for 2 days later in the morning on a Thursday. I booked the appointment on a Tuesday night approximately 7pm, and approximately 30 minutes later an email was sent saying the counselor scheduled for my appointment had canceled it. No explanation why, and no option to reschedule it. I did not see the cancelation email until the morning of, when I was waiting for the call that never came. ...searched my junk box and found the cancelation.
When I responded to the email for clarification I received a form response saying that they had such an overwhelming response and couldn't meet with everyone, but I should instead check out the online program and pay the ridiculous fees for access. Feels like a scam to me.

I just got a intro call. It ended, because she was not transparent- refusing to tell me how much the 12 week class would cost. Reading up on it here- it sounds it costs $13.000 for 2xweekly videos of Meg and counseling, if needed. The coach did not sound empathetic, was stuck on goal setting to sign me up, without saying any amount.

This program teaches you how to break your habits and focus on positive things in your behavior and life.
