Shauna is just like any 22-year-old trying to figure out the next steps in her life. The only difference is that she stands just 3 feet 10 inches tall, which presents unique challenges on her journey to independence.
In the second season of her TLC reality series, Shauna – whose growth was stunted due to treatment for childhood cancer – struggles with the side effects of her condition. She also seeks out answers to her mounting medical questions. At the same time, she takes steps to strike out on her own, including looking for a job and an apartment.

Shauna’s matchmaker connects her with a man with pituitary dwarfism
In I Am Shauna Rae’s first season, viewers watched as Shauna struggled with dating.
“I attract creeps, ***holes, and idiots,” she shared. “It’s scary to put myself out there. But you have to put some risk in to get happiness.”
In season 2, it sounds like Shauna might have better luck on the romance front than she did in season 1. She’s been chatting online with a man from Wales who plans to visit the U.S. Plus, her matchmaker has found her a guy with pituitary dwarfism. Shauna is curious to connect with someone with a similar condition.
“I’m a little nervous to meet someone who’s gone through something very similar to me,” she admits in a teaser (via Twitter). “I’m interested to see the similarities and the differences.”

In the new season, Shauna also takes steps to live more independently. She has her first driving lesson and looks into getting a job. And she and her younger sister Rylee are also considering getting their own place.
Her dad Mark seems to support the idea of Shauna moving out. He also suggests she apply to college. But she’s worried that might be too much.
“Going to school and moving out all at once is a lot,” she tells her parents. Still, she and Rylee do start looking for a place in the city.
“Mentally, emotionally, I definitely think I’m ready to live on my own,” she says. “But I do feel overwhelmed. I’m not sure how this is going to go.”
