Somewhat Functional

Somewhat Functional

Somewhat Functional is a podcast about the real-life challenges of executive function, like focus, planning, emotions, time, and organization, and how identity shapes the way we are judged for them.

No jargon. No shame. Just real people navigating real brains in a world that expects perfection.
