Functional AF

from Prayers and Cusswords · host Ashley Jaye

What happens when you know exactly what needs your attention…but knowing still isn’t enough to get it done?Right now, my life is messy as hell. I’m facing consequences I can’t positive-think my way out of. I have decisions to make about my finances, my home, my career, my parenting, my future—and myself.But I’m also looking around and realizing: I have been moving.I created. I built. I learned. I survived. I made moves, even when they didn’t happen on anybody else’s timeline.So this episode is a reintroduction.Not to a healed version of me.Not to a woman who finally has her shit together.To me, right here.I’m talking about self-abandonment, executive functioning, the gap between knowing and doing, and why so many capable people need practical support navigating finances, healthcare, workplace advocacy, legal systems, paperwork and the invisible administrative work of simply being alive.Maybe community can’t stop at “me too.”Maybe the next question is:“Okay. Me too. Now what the fuck do we do?”I’m done spending all my time talking about becoming her.I want to see what happens when I start behaving like her.Welcome back to Prayers & Cusswords—where softness and survival coexist. 💜
