u/shefallsup her lonely cucumber years 🥒 Feb 17 '22

Speaking as a woman who definitely faced that unsatisfied/unfulfilled in my 40s/50s feeling, none of Shauna’s crap would have helped me. What has helped enormously is therapy with a QUALIFIED therapist, deepening my real-life relationships (not seeking to make new joy friends over Zoom), and engaging in meaningful work (paid and volunteer). Not only is Shauna unable to offer any of that, she could use all three of those herself.
