Be Authentic...But Not Like That

This week on Dysfunctionally Yours, Brittany and Chris go from throwing out their backs doing normal adult activities to unpacking one of the most relatable questions of adulthood:

What happens when you finally become your authentic self… and people decide they don’t like it?

They dive into big personalities, emotional expression, trauma responses, masking parts of yourself for safety, and the exhausting reality of constantly being told to “be yourself”- but only in ways that make everyone else comfortable.

From grief and people-pleasing to confidence, identity, therapy, and learning not to dull your sparkle, this episode balances humor and vulnerability in the most Dysfunctionally Yours way possible.

Also included:

• Colorado snowstorm chaos
• Camping slander
• Scotland castle planning
• Mother’s Day grief
• Dinosaur trauma
• Surprise family visits
• And Chris debating painted nails while Brittany fully supports the vision

If you’ve ever been called too loud, too emotional, too intense, too intimidating, or just “a lot,” this episode is for you.
