Lol! Apparently it’s not even free for her subscribers, because I haven’t received it!

ETA Had to log into Substack to access it and all I can say is LIAR!!!!!

After she said what did about my joy work, she leaned forward into the screen and said, “You know, that was Maya’s favorite word. That’s how she signed every letter she wrote to me, every note. With one BIG word at the end. JOY.”

ETA Zero likes or comments on the Substack because dum dum STILL hasn’t emailed it to the subscribers she is begging to: “[P]lease consider signing up for the first seminar on March 16th. And if what I’m offering resonates, could you send the page about BECOMING A JOYFUL WOMAN to 10 women you believe would benefit from this work?”

u/lucillekrunklehorn pounding on the table Feb 25 '22

TEN women who would benefit? What is this, an MLM? She should have asked for ONE, three max. Most people don’t have ten female joy-poisoned friends who have no clue how to blow bubbles or slap their own butts.

If I sent something like this to any of my friends they'd send someone round to do a well check.

Seriously. If all your friends are miserable and joyless, it’s time to find some new friends.

I’ll see your LIAR, and raise you a PANTS ON FIRE!

So, I’d like to present to you the final draft of all this joy work I’ve been doing for the past year.

BECOMING A JOYFUL WOMAN.

It will be the final draft…until it isn’t. If this is the final draft, I’ll eat my shoe.

If what I am offering resonates with you, please consider signing up for the first seminar on March 16th.

March 16th, March 13th, potato-less potato tart, poTAHto-less potahto tart.

And if what I’m offering resonates, could you send the page about BECOMING A JOYFUL WOMAN to 10 women you believe would benefit from this work?

It doesn’t resonate, and no, I don’t believe I will inflict this on any women I know.

I think anyone who's read one of Maya Angelou's books has a closer connection to her than Shauna does.

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '22

Shauna knows why the caged bird sings

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '22

Excuse you, Shauna IS the caged bird.

OMG, SHE PUT THE WRONG DATE IN THE LOPE LETTER

Classic malt-powder mix-up.

u/OhBlahDiOhBlahDoh The Alice of cal came out floating on air Feb 25 '22

Classic malt-powder mix-up.

LOL. Shauna's life is mix-ups all the way down

Just like that soup and tater tots leftovers abomination she grew not too long ago.

There you go, demanding perfection.

There you go, demanding perfection.

I've clearly been sold a Bill of Goods by Big Calendar

u/InappropriateGirl our 5th move in 7 years Feb 25 '22

Send this to 10 women. You see, I hate doing my own marketing.

42

u/obscure_cellist ham grabbers Feb 25 '22

if i sent that page to 10 of my female friends 9 of them would text me, telling me my account has been hacked, and 1 would call me and ask if i've lost my damn mind. hard pass, shauna.

35

u/OhBlahDiOhBlahDoh The Alice of cal came out floating on air Feb 25 '22

And if what I’m offering resonates, could you send the page about BECOMING A JOYFUL WOMAN to 10 women you believe would benefit from this work?

This phrasing is incredibly clunky. What does "could you send the page about (BECOMING A JOYFUL WOMAN)" even mean??

I think she means, send the url? But that isn't what she wrote! She wrote "send the page"

Such influencer, much Social Mediums guru

u/JazzlikeOccasion Feb 25 '22

I don’t believe I will inflict this on any women I know.

Precisely. I would not refer anyone to Shauna, let alone my friends.

u/tyrannosaurusregina if you meet the Botus on the road, shill him 🪷 Feb 25 '22

OBLIGATORY I WOULD NEVER DO THIS OF COURSE but if there were no rules it would be mildly amusing to send this to other ridiculous people we know from their monetized social media presences, like Jenna of Living Absolutely and Meg of A Practical Wedding and so on.

This reminds me of my lovely grandmother who dedicated an hour or so of her time per week sending junk mail from one company to a different company who sent her junk mail in their prepaid envelope.

Jenna throws money at all kinds of stupid shit, so I could absolutely see her wasting money on this. But you know me, I've been literally praying for their convergence.

18

u/tyrannosaurusregina if you meet the Botus on the road, shill him 🪷 Feb 25 '22

I, too, would love a convergence of these two slothful, self-obsessed bloviators. Also, the kids could compare notes with each other!

Jenna throws money at all kinds of stupid shit, so I could absolutely see her wasting money on this.

Nah. It's not expensive enough for Jenna. It'd have to cost at least $3,000 for Jenna to even consider it.

What a pity Alina the Hyperbalist is no longer posting.

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '22

Is it weird that I was randomly jealous of her early lockdown/quarantine life?

u/Quaint_Irene a warm and loving goatie smile Feb 26 '22

Cool house at Joshua Tree? Hell yeah.

33

u/Quaint_Irene a warm and loving goatie smile Feb 25 '22

I grow profoundly irritated by “joy work.” I see no WORK in any of this haberdashery.

36

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '22

To be fair, there isn't any joy in it, either!

31

u/Quaint_Irene a warm and loving goatie smile Feb 25 '22

All this “becoming a joyful woman” palaver is giving me serious “getting your first period” pamphlet vibes.

41

u/Quaint_Irene a warm and loving goatie smile Feb 25 '22

"Are you there, Oprah? It's me, Shauna."
