    Ep# 26 Don't Confuse Caring With Carrying

    In this episode, we unpack the difference between caring deeply and carrying everything. We explore how easy it is to slip into over-responsibility, especially when the work matters so much. We talk about the pressure to do it all, the mental chatter that comes with it, and how to start separating what's actually yours from what's shared or not yours at all. This conversation is a reminder that you can care deeply without burning out, and that sometimes the most powerful shift is remembering… you get to do this.

    Ep# 25 Derek in the Hot Seat

    Today we celebrate 25 episodes of Mostly Functional with Julie putting Derek in the hot seat by asking him 25 questions. Some softballs, some that stump him. All in the name of being mostly functional!

    Ep# 24 Emotional Numbness In Animal Work

    Anyone who whose work exposes them repeatedly to secondary trauma and loss will find themselves sometimes feeling numb about the situations they're managing with those they care for. Today we explore whether it's normal (it is!), whether it's a way to be sustainable in the work (listen to find out!) and whether it's a way to also protect ourselves sometimes. As usual, it's a convo filled with deep insight, belly laughs and so much heart. And Julie shares her "Snow White" moment that you won't want to miss!

    Ep# 23 Past and Future Self Wisdom

    In this episode, we talk about the kind of wisdom that only comes with living. The stuff you wish you could go back and tell your younger self, and what your future self might be trying to tell you now. It turns into a real conversation about trust, worry, connection, self-acceptance, and what it means to stop chasing and start noticing the life you're already in. Thoughtful, honest, funny, and very Mostly Functional.

    Ep# 22 When Self-Care Pisses People Off

    Sometimes taking care of yourself isn't well-recieved by others. In this episode, we unpack boundaries, burnout, and the weird way people react when you stop being endlessly available. Because caring for others shouldn't require abandoning yourself.

    Ep# 21 Kind Advocacy

    In this episode, we explore what it really means to advocate with kindness. From the way we talk to others to the way we talk to ourselves, we unpack how compassion, not criticism, is what actually creates change. It's a real, thoughtful, and mostly functional conversation about choosing kindness without losing your conviction.

    Ep#20 Anthropic Moments

    In this episode, a new word enters the Mostly Functional vocabulary: apanthropy. As we try to figure out what it means (and how to say it), the conversation turns into something deeper about why animals feel easier to be around than people, and why so many of us are craving quiet these days. By the end, we land on the idea of seeking more anthropic moments… small pockets of calm, simplicity, and presence.

    Ep# 19 Discomfort Is Not Danger

    In this episode we talk about what it means to feel "too much" or "not enough" and how those stories shape the way we show up in the world. We explore performative coping, identity, and the surprising superpowers that can come from being sensitive and lived experience. The conversation lands on a grounding reminder for animal people and humans everywhere: discomfort is not danger, and learning to tolerate it can change everything.
