Dysfunctionally Yours

Join Brittany for a special Ask Me Anything episode of Dysfunctionally Yours, where she candidly answers listener questions with her signature blend of humor and insight. From the joys of Christmas wrapping to the challenges of family dynamics during the holidays, Brittany tackles it all. She shares her thoughts on the pressure to be happy, the bittersweet nature of parenting adult children, and even the unexpected delight of a 3D-printed leg for a duck. Tune in for an engaging and heartfelt conversation that embraces the chaos and beauty of the holiday season, reminding us all to take care of ourselves amidst the festivities.

Christmas is often sold as joyful, magical, and full of togetherness, but that’s not everyone’s reality.
In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what it’s like to navigate the holidays without the Hallmark ending: being a parent of adult children who don’t always show appreciation, experiencing loneliness and loss, and learning the difference between longing and acceptance.
This isn’t a sad episode, and it’s not a motivational one either. It’s a grounded, compassionate conversation for anyone who feels invisible during the holidays, who’s in survival mode, or who’s simply doing the best they can to get through December.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to perform happiness this time of year, this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not failing. And you’re not alone.

This week on Dysfunctionally Yours, Brittany dives into the myth that being alone automatically equals being lonely. Spoiler: it doesn’t. At all. In fact, sometimes being alone is exactly where the peace lives.
Fresh off last week’s dating-app chaos episode, she’s taking the conversation inward-exploring why so many people panic at the idea of solitude while others (hi, it’s her) are thriving in it. From unlearning the belief that fulfillment needs to come from a partner, to recognizing when “loneliness” is actually just boredom, distraction, or expectation talking, Brittany breaks down what it really looks like to be content on your own.
With her signature honesty, humor, and a touch of sarcastic charm, she digs into how self-trust, emotional independence, and actually liking your own company can completely change the way you show up in relationships-or choose not to.
This episode is a warm hug, a reality check, and a permission slip to enjoy your own damn company without apologizing for it.

Brittany and Lindsay reunite for an episode full of unintentional fraud, AI dependence, and questionable life choices. The girls confess to using ChatGPT for everything, budgeting, makeup tutorials, and definitely-not-fake “proof” for customer service.
This week’s Ache & Relief hits hard: Lindsay survives the Black Friday apocalypse, while Brittany makes it through Thanksgiving without crying (a miracle) but is rudely reminded that adult children come with free will.
Then we get the legendary story of Lindsay throwing hands in the “Milton Hilton” over stolen shampoo, earning her new street name: Lil’ Thug. Love that for her.
The two wrap up with a brutally honest chat about adult friendships and dating apps,  aka the barren wasteland where everyone leads with “Netflix and chill” and women are carrying centuries of survival instincts just to exist.
Chaotic, relatable, and healing…in the loosest definition of the word.Music By Smile Lee

In this conversation, Lindsey and Brittany reflects on their evolving relationship with holiday traditions, expressing a newfound enthusiasm for celebrating and decorating. They  share how this year feels different, highlighting the joy that comes from personal growth and embracing festive elements in their life.

In this episode, Brittany gets real about the version of herself she’s not exactly proud of, the one who definitely had main-character energy but… in the wrong genre. After a week of brunches, mimosas, long walks, and a brutally honest happy hour confession, she dives into what it’s like to look back and cringe at the kid she used to be while fully owning the woman she’s become.Why are friendships so complicated? Why does growth feel like leveling up and publicly exposing your old bugs at the same time? And why is it so embarrassing to admit who we used to be, even when we know we’ve outgrown it?Brittany breaks it all down with humor, honesty, and the kind of self-awareness that only comes from doing the work. If you’ve ever winced at your past self but still felt grateful for the journey; this one’s for you.

This week, Brittany tackles what it really means to be a statistic; from teen motherhood and growing up with addicted parents to breaking cycles and proving the odds dead wrong. Of course, in true Dysfunctionally Yours fashion, there’s also talk of thresher sharks (don’t worry, they’re not out here decapitating people) and taking a cozy bath without feeling like human soup. It’s chaotic honesty, heartfelt reflection, and the occasional science fact; because healing isn’t linear, it’s just a little…dysfunctional.

This episode delves into the complexities of family dynamics, particularly the impact of parental relationships on children. Brittany reflects on their childhood experiences, expressing a desire for their parents to divorce in order to achieve a sense of peace and emotional safety. This theme highlights the often overlooked emotional turmoil children face in volatile family environments.Music By: Smile Lee
