How Society and Safety Shape Modern Relationships.

The Elevators Are Fine; It's the Stairs

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.

Gas Prices, Trauma Bonds, and Emotional Safety

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.

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.

This Was Supposed to Be a Mental Health Episode...It's Not

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.

How Society and Safety Shape Modern Relationships.

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. ✨ New episodes every Monday 🎙️ Unfiltered, unhinged, and unedited on YouTube 📲 Follow, like, subscribe, and send this to your group chat
