What this manifesto is:

Functioning & Feral™ is my line in the sand — in business and in life.


It’s the refusal to trade my soul for survival, or to shrink just to fit someone else’s idea of “professional.”, "acceptable", "normal".

It’s also my hope for my daughters.


That they grow up knowing they never have to lose their feral — their wild confidence, their curiosity, their ability to see joy and beauty even when the world feels heavy.


That they can build a life, a family, and a business that feels authentic to them, without apology, if they choose.

This isn’t about chaos. And it’s not about perfection.


It’s about choosing both roots and wings. Systems that hold you steady, and a spirit that refuses to be domesticated.

This is how I work.
This is how I live.


And this is the invitation — if you’re ready to live and work Functioning & Feral™, you’re in the right place. 🤍

Functioning & Feral: The Manifesto

You’re not broken.
You’re blueprinting.

You don’t need a guru or a playbook.
You need a system that bends with you — not over you.

Templates weren’t built for your instincts.
And your brilliance doesn’t wait for approval.

You’ve been making calls no one trained you for.
Holding vision in a body that’s exhausted and electric.
Still showing up. Still building.

That’s not resilience. That’s revolt.

We’re Not Broken. We’re Done Shrinking.

This isn’t collapse. It’s a turning point.

You’ve stitched together strategy in the margins.
Held it all when there was no one else to hold it.
You know what it means to build with no net — and no outside validation.

You don’t need another system that tells you how to feel.
You need tools that meet you where you already are:
Sharp. Tired. Wise. Awake.

We Don’t Fit the Mold.

We Outgrow It.

You’re not here for hacks.
You’re here to build something true.
Even if it’s slow, even if it’s quiet, even if no one claps.

You’re allowed to:

  • Change your mind

  • Rewrite your rules

  • Build slow, grow deep

  • Let values guide the vision

We don’t pivot for approval.

We don’t grind for credibility.

We don’t burn out. We rebuild.

We don’t run ourselves down — we reroute.

This is not the grind.
This is the rebuild.

Functioning.
Feral.
Unshakably alive.
