👋 About Functioning Human

Because adulthood doesn’t come with a manual — so we’re making one.

Hey there.

Welcome to Functioning Human. If you’ve ever Googled “how to cook chicken without dying,” “what is a Roth IRA,” or “am I doing this right?” — you’re in the right place.

We’re here to help you become a confident, capable adult — without pretending to have it all together ourselves. Think of us as your clever older sibling who’s made some mistakes, learned some stuff, and wants to pass it on (with minimal judgment and maybe a checklist).

Why We Exist

Most of us leave school knowing how to write a book report but not how to file taxes, cook a basic meal, or set boundaries at work. That’s where we come in.

Functioning Human is your go-to space for life skills, no-BS advice, and support from people who’ve been there. We cover everything from budgeting and career tips to home hacks, emotional intelligence, and more.

We believe in progress, not perfection. You don’t need to have it all figured out — you just need somewhere to start. We’ve got you.

What You’ll Find Here

  • ✍️ Relatable guides & explainers on adulting essential
  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 A growing community of humans figuring it out together
  • 🧰 More coming soon!

Everything is written with humor, honesty, and a whole lot of “you got this.”

Who’s Behind It

Functioning Human was started by a small team of digital humans who are passionate about making life less overwhelming. We’ve worked in tech, business, retail, and more — and like you, we’ve stared blankly at an overflowing inbox wondering what to do next.

We’re not experts in everything (anything?) — but we’re really good at asking the right questions, learning along the way, and explaining things clearly (and maybe even enjoyably).

Let’s Be Friends

You got this. (And if you don’t, we’ll teach you.)

— The Functioning Human team 💛
