to yourself.

Sound familiar?
I don’t feel quite like myself anymore.
I know I’m “supposed” to be grateful, but mostly I’m just tired.
A lot of advice feels surface level, or like it was written for someone with a completely different life.
I want more than just… functioning.
I’m carrying things that don’t have an obvious place to go.
I keep brushing it off because life is busy and I’m “handling” it.
There’s nothing wrong with you for feeling this way.
It’s what happens when you’ve had to disconnect in order to get through.
What happens next is learning how to reconnect.
What is Strange & Functional?
A living library
and community for
getting off autopilot.
It’s where you go when you want tools that actually work! Built for real energy levels, real moods, and a brain that doesn’t always cooperate.
- tools that actually help on hard days
- emotional skills you wish were taught in school
- practices that work with your real energy levels
- fun that doesn’t feel performative
- permission to be tender, capable, angry, creative, weird, and human
- a place where growth feels steady instead of overwhelming
& growing 🌱
What’s inside
You don’t move through this in order. You open what matches the day you’re having.

Plus: Merriment AI — your custom whimsy coach. A whole community of people who get it.
And new content added every single week.
What makes this different
I don’t teach this from a
distance. I do it with you.
This work is psychologically grounded and fact-checked. It’s also playful, absurd, creative, and deeply human. I care about science and bubbles. Data and glitter. Nervous systems and joy.
I use creativity, humor, metaphor, and play because they lower defenses. They make it safer to feel. Safer to tell the truth. Safer to try again.
That’s why this works for people who’ve tried other things. People who are doing okay but want to feel more alive. People who are exhausted, weird, sensitive, misunderstood, or creatively inclined.
Feeling good here isn’t frivolous. It’s the first step. From there, people make things. Build friendships. Try again. Speak up. Create art. Set boundaries. Do small, real acts of kindness in the world.
Strange & Functional is one part of that method. It’s where people start remembering who they are.

Your Fun Philsopher
I help people feel more like themselves again.
Psychology-informed Fun Philosopher, public artist & professional weirdo
I work with people who have been living on autopilot. Sometimes it’s because of trauma. Sometimes neurodivergence. Sometimes because life kept asking for more than you could give at the time.
I teach what I’ve had to learn the hard way. How to feel again. How to trust your body’s signals. How to work with your emotions instead of shoving them down. How to build a life that actually fits the brain and body you have.
This is psychologically informed, deeply practical work. It’s been shaped by decades of study, teaching, and being inside the mess myself. Not one big turning point. MANY restarts. Progress, collapse, rebuilding, repeat.
And I promise you, nothing is ever forced.
Got questions?
What exactly is Strange & Functional?
How does the free trial work?
What if I can’t keep up with the content?
Is this therapy? Do I need to be in therapy to join?
What if I’m neurodivergent / highly sensitive?
Can I cancel anytime?
What’s the difference between monthly and annual?
If you’ve been waiting
for a sign... this is it.
You don’t need to be ready.
You don’t need motivation.
You don’t need to “improve.”
You just need a place to feel accepted. A place where wonder returns.
Where your fun + whimsy has room to breathe.
Where you reconnect with the parts of you you’ve been missing.
