Thumbs down Morgan

Morgan was all over the place. She was yelling and going in circles. She made herself seem jealous of her own daughter. Not a good interview for her!

KCakes94

Tired of listening to irrelevant Tik Tok influencers talk about their boring lives that none of us care about.
Slow down and allow your guest to speak

Feb 28

The Realtor M

Listening is chaotic. Slow down, allow your guest to speak, and honestly everything doesn’t have circle back to you, your baby daddies, and being a teen mom. That’s old. Extremely self-absorbed. Listen to Kamie Crawford’s interview with Morgan. That’s how you do an interview. Your interview was unorganized and LOUD! Actually learned more about Morgan in Kamie’s interview than yours. Get some depth. Your thirst to be seen and validated is very evident as it is on all your platforms. Tone it down!
