It's a quick and dirty ep this week because Kristina is on the brink. Girl needs a vacation, she needs some social interaction, she needs some pre pandemic life! This sends her down a reminiscent rabbit hole remembering all the fun times we used to have. You know she's here for a little self isolation but all this free time has her thinking about the way things used to be. We know she's not alone, we're all feeling it.

Barely Functioning Podcast

Remember When?

We have our first guest for Szn II and we are thrilled to have some company forthis week's episode. One of Kristina's favorite people and Barely Functioning's fan since day one; Carolyn joins us to hang & chit chat. The girls chat about working from home, their recent moves to small towns, and their never ending love for Louis. As a huge advocate for small & locally owned businesses Carolyn shares a few of her fave shops & services. The girls discuss the importance of supporting those small, local & family owned businesses this year. and if your planning to shop local for Christmas it's important to start that shopping soon. We don't want to be Jerks bringing up the C word, but it's ten weeks away folks, and these small businesses need some lead time!

Small Town Living

Remember earlier this year when we were locked down, we couldn’t get out and shop, we all thought we were bound to save some money, and now we laugh and we laugh as we open our daily packages. This week Kristina shares a tale of a jacket she just couldn’t get her grubby little paws on, and talks all things shopping because she can’t be stopped! She chats shopping trends, and while everything is on the rise it looks like people aren’t buying clothes as much, but who needs pants anyway we’re living in a new pants free world. She also shares that she’s been shopping for something super special, it’s a pretty big announcement you’re not going to want to miss.

Kristina is coming in hot this week from her new dedicated podcast space this week, no thanks to her dad Steve finally getting her set up. Turns out she can be a little “les incompetente”. All joking aside, this week’s episode is all things real talk, and will probably go down as one of the toughest episodes to record. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 10 months we know 2020 has been a legit dumpster fire and Kristina gets honest about the challenges of mental health while dealing with so much negativity and adversity in the world. Despite such a rough go, she tries to find the silver lining in it all. But at the end of the day, it’s okay to not feel okay…. Sometimes we just have to feel it all.

2020 is a Dumpster Fire

This week is equal parts totally thriving and barely functioning, but that’s what BFP is all about kids. First things first, Kristina discusses the news that maybe could have broke the internet three years ago, The Kardasians are kalling it kuits after 14 years and 20 seasons of Keeping Up. Whether you love them or hate them they had a very successful run and grew their fame and fortune tenfold, so we cast no shade. Kristina also talks about the much needed fall reset after what was a barely functioning past six months, but we’re gonna go ahead and blame that on Covid (2020 man.). She’s going full tilt on fall, totally thriving around the house but barely functioning when it comes to health and wellness. Plus, she only swears once this week (which may or may not deserve a reward)

Full Tilt on Fall

Have you ever woken up on the wrong side of the bed and wanted to throw punches on everyone for no apparent reason? Of course you have. We’ve all been there. Unfortunately for us gals, we are in that place once a month. It’s called PMS, and it’s the devil's work! This week Kristina breaks down all things PMS, the symptoms, the triggers and talks through the vicious cycles we go through on a monthly basis. But there is good news too, we look at how to optimize our lives, productivity and creativity by learning more about those cycles and how to align it in our day to day lives. Put on your coziest sweats, grab a heating pad and tune in now!

Cute But Psycho & Other PMS Problems

It’s been a minute since our last episode, but it feels oh so good to be back. Barely Functioning launches season two with lots of changes, big changes, good changes!! This week is all about hanging out and catching up. Kristina lets us know what she’s been up to, looks back on the last six months that seemingly went by in a flash, but also an eternity… y’know? She shares her experience moving home with her dad for a few months, how amazing it felt to get back to reality when the world started to open up again, and as always what she’s been wasting her time watching - you know she’s always got the bingey reccos.

Reunited and it feels so good

The girls try and stick to a quick and dirty ep this week and they were oh so close. They sit down and have a light conversation playing another round of 21 questions (...kinda). This time the questions lead them down a bit of a nostalgic path talking childhood crushes, the careers they thought they wanted as a child and their top tv shows of all time. It was a good week of reminiscing as the girls sharie some wild stories of the games they used to play as children, and trust us, these two are definitely a pair of very special girls.

The Girls Get Friendly

Its week three of social distancing and the girls have found the perfect binge to keep their mind off the craziness going on. 'Tiger King' is the weird docu-series distraction nobody ever knew they needed. The girls jump right into it as they dissect everything about the unusual, unexplainable, wild ride that follows controversial animal park owner Joe Exotic. This docu-series does not disappoint from the over the top eccentric line of characters to the many twists and turns through each episode. It had the girls from minute six episode one, and if you haven’t watched yet… what in the Carole Baskin are you waiting for?

The girls share their thoughts on the reunion in one word, Amanda in three. But just how it all began the show wrapped up with an awkward and cringeworthy ep, it wasn’t without a bit of drama and couple updates nobody was expecting (SPOILER: one was super disappointing). Amanda waits for someone to call out Jessica’s fake voice, and Kristina has no patience for the fake plants on set, was there no production budget?! Not to be forgotten the girls shout out their new friendship with their hero of the entire series...no spoilers here though!! You’ll just have to tune in.
