Thank god I thought this was another internet pan handler. So sick of those threads they are everywhere.

How about creating a fake profile on this website (perhaps claiming she is a man), and use it for the amusement of getting us all riled up, for fun and pleasure?? 
Poking a bear can be amusing.

I would combine a couple of these...no, not poking a bear while hopped up on meth. But, if you do that, get video of it!
Athletic cool stuff + poking a bear.
I'd say she's missing the struggle. She's made it to where she's comfortable and there doesn't seem to be anything left to overcome. All she has to do is work, pay taxes and die. It's groundhog day only with sickness, disease and death at the end.
I was in that same spot a looooong time ago and quickly losing interest in lifting weights, which has been a part of my life since I was 13. I kept running into and chatting with a fit, friendly young woman who one day mentioned a boxing gym run by her father-in-law. She said I should check it out and gave me their phone number and directions.
I wasn't really that interested at first since, like most people who grew up scrappy but have never trained, I figured I was a good fighter (nope. lol). One evening I drove out there to see what it was about and my whole world changed. It filled a void in my life that I couldn't really describe or express but I knew it was there all the same. It worked for me, maybe she'd enjoy it too. I recently had the chance to roll with a local fighter who's fighting on the 21st and I feel... re fueled. It's invigorating, I don't really know how else to put it.
It doesn't have to be boxing either. If she would prefer to keep her nose straight, I would probably recommend Jiu Jitsu since there is a much more gentle learning curve compared to boxing. Grappling (Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo, etc.) is great outlet. My son is 7 and my daughter is 8 and they are both wrestlers. It has really helped build my daughter's confidence and it has helped to rein in my son's hyper-active behavior... a bit.
TL;DR:
Advise her to walk into a boxing gym or Martial Arts Academy or better yet kick the door in and say, "I'm in the mood for an ass kickin'! I don't care if I'm givin' it or gettin' it!"
But the struggle is real...

Yeah, why would he do that, when he could be listening to cranky statements made by anonymous strangers telling him to drive drunk like a real man.
It just sounds like she is bored with her current routine. Maybe she needs to try training for a half marathon or take a cooking class. Something outside of her normal activities. I
