In the very first episode of The High-Functioning Disaster, host Sacha Holder pulls back the curtain on what it really means to look “high-functioning” on the outside while juggling chaos on the inside.
On paper, Sacha is a project manager with a wall of certifications, a color-coded calendar, and years of professional success. Off paper, she’s a wife, daughter, caregiver, bariatric patient, and survivor of mental, emotional, and sexual abuse who lives with anxiety, panic attacks, and the never-ending mental load that so many of us carry.
This isn’t a self-help podcast — it’s a self-permission podcast. Permission to be exhausted. Permission to let the to-do list go. Permission to admit you don’t have it all together.
In this short, solo introduction, Sacha shares:
If you’ve ever smiled through anything while falling apart inside, this space is for you. Because here, life is the disaster, not necessarily you.
