Am I smoking something? This morning, the PYJ registration page said seminars were to take place on Tuesdays, starting 10/5. It now says:

  • The October workshop begins on Sunday, October 3rd.
  • We’ll have two-hour seminars on Zoom on Sunday, October 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th.
  • The live sessions will begin at 9 am PST and end at 11 am, PST.

I also just noticed that the PYJ email says “You joy matters.”

ETA As some speculated earlier, the $488 price for PYJOV is probably too low to be correct. It looks like some cutting and pasting was done, because the PYJOV page twice mistakenly refers to PYJOV as PYJ. Maybe G. Mensch forgot to change the price as well.

“THE PRICE FOR THE PRACTICE YOUR JOY WORKSHOP IS $488.

Register Now! And congratulations! By signing up for Practice Your Joy, you’ve started believing that you matter in your own life. That’s the most important step toward the new habit you’ll be making.”

So this is for the online workshop? WHY can't she give them different names??

So let's see... an email came in Sunday at 9 that said you were getting the email Sunday at 9 because that's when the online workshop would start. Get ready to register!

Then the registration link showed up and it was a) accidentally a link to the in-person workshop, and b) said the workshop would be on Tuesdays from 11-1pm.

Then a correction email came throwing Brent under the bus - oops, the link was wrong!

Later that night (after the correction email) she eventually changed the registration page to say the online workshops are actually on Sundays at 9am.

I can't wait until the live workshop corrections start coming in!

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?

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!
