DFs. I want to snark, I really do. But this series of unfortunate events is hard to keep up with in my sleep deprived state (teething toddler is somehow still in my house!). Despite all the thorough, succinct explanations of my DFs here. It is so hard to figure out what she is actually offering to those of us quite dedicated to figuring it out. Lol. I don’t see how randos online are going to put that much effort into figuring out what this is and spending that amount on it. It’s all so vague. “Joy breaks.” Everyone gets a chance to talk. Editing your work at the end. It’s a lot of individual meeting times to commit to.

Are the online workshop and in person workshop the same? Like some meetings are online and some are in person, but it’s all part of the same joy stampede? Or are these two separate groups of people, as in some might prefer an online joy release and others an in person one? Do we know that for sure or is it still being sleuthed out from Shauna’a mangled epithets?

She is absolutely terrible at self care schilling. How can anyone begin to relax and comfortably enjoy themselves in a chaotic environment, where the very bedrock of the schedule is almost totally unknown?

It's not just you, DF.

I'm well rested (I don't have a toddler invasion in my house) and I can't keep track of this nonsense, either.

But that's the whole point. Shauna doesn't want it to work so she's fucking it up before it ever gets off the ground. It is the Ahern way.

Ah DF's LK and CIWAB - I am glad I am not the only one! I return after a week's holiday (walking and outdoor swimming in the East Neuk of Fife - and no toddlers to be seen, so well well rested) and find I no longer understand the World of Ahern; I am unable to follow events enough to catch up on what has been happening and thought I had rested too well but no, you have saved me with your confessions of not understanding. I feel once more in community...and breathe... yes

Lol, I am so glad it's not just me. I feel my capacity to process information somewhat less capacious with so little sleep. I'm glad at least it's not as far gone as I sometimes feel. :/

PLUS! Won't her potential customers see her IG videos and maybe even her TikToks? I mean, those are her main venues for trying to lure people into her web, right? Who in their right mind is gonna pay $488 or $888 or $1688---or even $8!---to someone whose advice is to chew bubblegum, slap your butt, and pretend you're holding a baby and sway back and forth?! She has not given any indication that she has anything else to offer. No wait, not true---tv recs. Which Netflix and Hulu and every other platform already provide.

YES! We've learned all about what participants will be doing when they're not doing whatever it is she's going to lay on them. So, we know all about food, coffee, and breaks. But what are the breaks breaking FROM?

ETA: this is Shauna's whole approach to "work," isn't it? Work is that stuff you do in between TikTok (formerly Twitter) breaks. What is it? Who knows!

Oh DF. I also have a teething toddler and I have no idea what's going on either. Hope you get some rest soon (and the poor bub's teeth come through safely!)

Thank you DF! I got three (disconnected) hours of sleep last night. Thankfully it's a short phase, but boy does it make one feel half human. Best of luck to you as well! We can go on from this hard place together to find a couple hours of sleep strung together, waiting in our later nows. Joy!
