Dysfunctionally Yours

Ever wonder how one conversation can include homicidal cats, ADHD medication, workplace expectations, hummingbirds, giant moths, and whether Colorado's sun is personally out to get us?
Same.
This week we're sharing stories about realistic medication dreams, the chaos our pets create when left unattended, why adulting isn't what anyone promised, and how different generations approach work, interviews, and career expectations. Along the way, we somehow end up discussing mental health, personal growth, vacation guilt, and why nobody prepared us for how weird adulthood actually is.
It's funny, honest, slightly unhinged...and somehow still meaningful.
If you've ever looked around your life and thought, "Is anyone else just making this up as they go?" ...welcome home.
🎙️ Laughing through the chaos, one dysfunctional conversation at a time.

Some seasons of life are loud.
Others are quiet, reflective, and full of tiny moments that slowly start changing everything.
This week we're talking about loneliness, evolving friendships, depression, building a support system, and the surprising discomfort that can come with being genuinely loved.
Chris opens up about realizing some friendships may no longer fit the person he's becoming, while Brittany shares her journey of reframing her 200 miles of summer into 200 opportunities to interrupt her depression.
We also dive into a question that challenged both of us:
If you had to live today on repeat for the rest of your life, would it be enough?
It's an honest conversation about growth, vulnerability, accepting support, and learning that maybe you don't always have to earn love to deserve it.
Because sometimes healing isn't becoming someone new.
Sometimes it's simply allowing yourself to be cared for.
🎙️ Welcome to Dysfunctionally Yours, where we laugh through the chaos while navigating the very real parts of being human.

This week we're talking about everything from giant running blisters and sour blue raspberry popsicles to the very real weight of mental health.
We dive into the frustrating reality of navigating the healthcare system when you're already struggling, why asking for help shouldn't require jumping through endless hoops, and the misconceptions people still have about depression.
Because here's the thing: depression doesn't always look like someone crying in bed all day. Sometimes it looks like going to work, smiling, taking care of everyone else, and then completely falling apart when you get home.
We also talk about giving ourselves credit for the small wins, why movement can be an incredible coping tool, and how sometimes surviving the day deserves just as much celebration as thriving.
Plus, a healthy dose of our usual chaos: Madonna, zombie apocalypse survival skills, social media, and why Chris absolutely would not survive the end of the world.
If you're struggling right now, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to earn support by reaching a breaking point first.
Sometimes getting out of bed, taking a walk, or simply showing up is enough.
Topics include:
✨ Functioning depression
✨ Mental health misconceptions
✨ Healthcare frustrations
✨ Using coping skills when you don't want to
✨ Celebrating small wins
✨ Movement as medicine
✨ Social media and comparison
✨ The zombie apocalypse (obviously)

#LaughingThroughTheChaos

When someone goes to prison, people tend to focus on the person who was incarcerated.
This week, we're talking about the people left behind.
Brittany and Chris share their experiences of having incarcerated siblings and the complicated reality that comes with it: grief, guilt, anger, hope, family dynamics, judgment, boundaries, and the pressure to keep showing up while trying to protect your own peace.
We explore the questions nobody asks, the losses nobody sees, and what it means to grieve someone who is still alive. Along the way, we also have an honest conversation about mental health, knowing when it's time to ask for help, and why being "strong" isn't always the flex people think it is.
If you've ever loved someone who kept making choices that impacted everyone around them, this conversation will probably feel familiar.
Because prison doesn't just affect the person serving the sentence. Sometimes it changes an entire family.
🎙️ Dysfunctionally YoursLaughing through the chaos, one hard conversation at a time.

Mental health isn't a destination you arrive at; it's a journey you keep taking.
This week, Brittany and Chris trade their planned topic for a much more honest conversation about what it looks like when life gets hard. While Chris shares what's helping him feel grounded and energized, Brittany opens up about moving through a difficult season and the reality that even people who talk about mental health for a living don't have it all figured out.
From health anxiety and sleep-punching husbands to self-care, vulnerability, and the power of simply showing up, this episode is a reminder that healing isn't linear...and some weeks, survival is the win.
Plus: turkeys, cruises, bathtubs, and the usual Dysfunctionally Yours chaos.

This week on Dysfunctionally Yours, Brittany and Chris are back, mentally unwell but spiritually committed to the bit. They talk birthday trips, emotional exhaustion, family boundaries, protecting your peace, making your home feel like yours again, AI guilt, dangerous stairs, elevator survival partners, Sabrina Carpenter, fruit TikTok drama, and the true crime documentary that sent Brittany into a parenting rage spiral.
It’s funny, heartfelt, mildly chaotic, and somehow includes Nessie, bunnies, and bananas. Naturally.

This week we’re talking about emotional safety, boundaries, friendship shifts, grief, trust issues, and why adult relationships can feel so complicated.
From childhood trauma to rebuilding difficult family relationships, we unpack how our past experiences shape the way we show up in friendships, romantic relationships, and even with ourselves.
We also dive into:
Outgrowing friendships
Feeling guarded after being hurt
The fear of vulnerability
Learning what “safe” relationships actually look like
Why some people respect boundaries… and others bulldoze right through them
Plus: gas prices, HelloFresh, DoorDash logic, and Chris preparing financially for a hypothetical Sabrina Carpenter tour that does not currently exist.
Just two emotionally exhausted adults laughing through the chaos.

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.

This week we’re talking about self care when you have no motivation-especially if you’re dealing with ADHD, burnout, or intrusive thoughts.
Because let’s be honest… sometimes “take care of yourself” feels impossible.
We get into:
Why low-effort self care actually works
Using small rewards (like coffee) to get yourself moving
The difference between treating yourself vs overspending
Intrusive thoughts and anxiety in everyday situations
Burnout, lack of focus, and feeling mentally all over the place
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed, this episode is a real and relatable take on what self care can actually look like.
New episodes every Monday.

This week on Dysfunctionally Yours, Brittany battles three corporations over a missing laptop, Chris has an existential crisis over motivation (and DoorDash), and we spiral into why dating in 2026 feels… unsafe, exhausting, and not worth the effort.
From burnout and bad weeks to wild date stories, emotional intelligence, and choosing peace over relationships-this episode is chaotic, funny, and a little too real.
Also: this is why we don’t date.
If you’ve ever:
Had a date make you question humanity
Felt completely burnt out for no reason
Chosen peace over people
Or just wondered if everyone is collectively winging it…
You’re in the right place.
