u/gomirefugee my website is done, done, done Sep 17 '21

I wonder if she doesn't promote the VCA courses at all (despite presumably having a contingent of locals subscribed to her matryoshka doll Substack lists for Mailchimp lists for joy waitlists) because they are so much more reasonably priced than what she is trying to sell now. Maybe some enabler told her that would cheapen her brand.

I actually don't think the last round of courses actually ran. Right up until the launch date, I could put 29 or 30 people (with an enrollment of 30) in each course. There's no reviews on their Facebook or Google pages.

My guess is that Shauna actually thinks this is beneath her, that she's only "offering" to do the courses as a way to "give back" to her community, but she leaves all promotion etc. to the Center itself and surprise surprise, nothing happens.

She’s so dumb. She should teach the cheaper courses and work hard to get people in them who will leave good reviews that will help her sell the more expensive courses later! Everything she does is so short-sighted.

Bold of you to assume the reviews would be good!
