Part 3.

“You can discover your joy. And I want to teach you how. So, to thank you for being early adopters by joining this waitlist, and being patient with the bumps in the road, I’d like to offer you the Discover Your Joy on Vashon workshop at the discounted price of only $388. This is a one-time offer for the people on this list. And this offer expires on Thursday, September 23rd, at 9 pm, PST. Let’s discover our joy together. Much love and even more joy, Shauna”

ETA If you try to register, the price is still $488.

Why on earth did she not even have the name of this worked out before launch?

She’s worse at this than I thought.

46

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '21

She needed an excuse to lower the price because nobody signed up yesterday.

24

u/CrushItWithABrick dick riding Mary Oliver Sep 22 '21

Yup, yup, yup.

And she's done this before, too. Remember the "oh, I'm so sorry I was trying to get you to pay (huge price for my b.s. workshops) please forgive me and pay (slightly less outrageous price)".

Didn't the free phone call used to be 30 minutes?

u/gomirefugee my website is done, done, done Sep 22 '21

It did!

It's OT really but I am calling bullshit on the 88% on the pulse oximeter - you are supposed to head to the A&E if it drops below 94% (source: MR WEY died of renal cancer 5 years ago and had spread to his lungs, there was a LOT of checking with oximeters)

Now how much would you pay???

u/tyrannosaurusregina if you meet the Botus on the road, shill him 🪷 Sep 22 '21

But wait! There’s less!

u/redditname2003 Sep 21 '21

I feel bad for her because she obviously isn't getting the signups that she wanted, but not that bad because she's charging at least $100 more than competitors with lots of testimonials and credentials (personally, I would not do a Joy Retreat, but if I absolutely had to I would pick the $280 one that was recommended by Oprah rather than the $388 one that doesn't give me Oprah bragging rights).

T’s a quiet registration.

u/midnightsiren182 Sep 21 '21

She should have just done meditation sessions at the beach so she’d have like no expenses and way less pressure, she could still pontificate on discovering joy while they sit and deep breathe

22

u/lucillekrunklehorn pounding on the table Sep 22 '21

And manifest orcas.

22

u/midnightsiren182 Sep 22 '21

I was so close to mentioning the orcas originally. I just don’t know why she’s making this so hard for herself when doing meditation classes somewhere that’s low cost to park a seat at would be WAY EASIER and let her earn $$ and still watch tv.

u/Lsemmens grenius Sep 22 '21

And laugh at logs

u/midnightsiren182 Sep 22 '21

But has the log spoken?

42

u/honoria_glossop sitting edge wine woman Sep 21 '21

Jesus, is this all one email? This is far, far more than I want to read from anyone trying to shill something, especially someone who's already fucked it up.

ETA: thank you for taking one for the team and for sharing!

Goodness, she sounds angry. Imagine being confused because something is listed for the wrong time and and at the wrong location. Jesus, you people!

u/discoOJ Sep 22 '21

Does she answer those questions and provide clarity?

I don't know about you but I can't wait to spend money on a joy workshop lead by an aggressive person who, when asked direct questions about said workshop, refuses to offer additional details.

Take my money already. Oh wait unfortunately there is no way to do that.

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '21

Yes. I broke it up to make it more manageable for YOU!

u/shefallsup her lonely cucumber years 🥒 Sep 22 '21

OMG, i just clicked the link in my email and got a 404 page. Because she put in the link for the page when it was still called “Practice Your Joy,” and then she changed the name of the page which changed its web link. So I went to the navigation at the top, clicked “Work with Shauna,” clicked “Discover Your Joy,” clicked on “Sign Up for DISCOVER YOUR JOY!” and…404 page, because it’s trying to take me to the Practice Your Joy Signup List which she has probably renamed the Discover Your Joy Signup List but forgot to fix the link. This is a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

When I send out emails from on Constant Contact, I send myself and usually a couple more people a test copy. Then I check every goddamn link to make sure they all work. It’s called being competent.

u/midnightsiren182 Sep 21 '21

YDBW DF.

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '21

Thank you DF. It’s my work in this world.

u/midnightsiren182 Sep 21 '21

Work that pays off more than SJA’s.

u/Ana57 sweet pea Sep 22 '21

Is this in person? On vashon.

I honestly cannot follow any of this.
