Her downfall was Bali. She was flitting between Dublin and Thailand training and hanging out with normal people who were over there living a nice life. She followed Sonny to Australia and met Diren and JS there. That was the start of her downfall. She thought she could be part of their gang and spent the next few years desperately trying. Sinead Heg didn't help either - she probably filled her head with all notions, then dumped her once she had gotten all she could from her. Sinead is home and they haven't even seen each other - even though Sinead most likely flew into Dublin airport - minutes from where Shiv lives. (although I can't entirely blame Sinead as Shiv was awful to her)
If she had stayed living in Ireland and continued going over to Bali occasionally for "training" and content her life could be so much better now. She might have opened her own gym as Leanne did. She might even have opened one with Leanne who knows - they were very friendly and did some workshops together. She could have built a name for herself in Ireland and maybe even got some TV and media work.
The amount of money that the Funace brought in in its heyday would have allowed her to buy her own apartment.
It is so sad that a few short years of her life (2018 - 2022) fucked her life so much. Instagram rotted her brain and she pissed away all her money to show off to her followers. It is a tragedy really.
Now she is back in Dublin with no money, no home, stunted development, and a baby that she is responsible for.
But yes - we are the sad ones
