Professionally skeptical of “fine.” Most of my career has been about noticing what a person means when it isn’t what they said. I spent sixteen years doing that in nonprofit communications, moving from event planning to Chief Impact Officer at a statewide home care organization.

I’m a Certified Trauma Specialist with a degree in psychology and a master’s in higher education. I’m the author of the memoir Spiraling Into Control and the writer behind The Cost of Functioning, a Substack about what it costs to keep showing up looking fine.

Barbara

Thank you for saying these things. I want to keep reading again and again. It's like I got new words and language for my feelings and experiences from it.

Lisa

Functioning isn’t evidence that you’re fine. This is where we look at what it’s costing you. Burnout, shutdown, numbness, capacity, and the language nobody gave you for any of it.
