The Problem with 'Normal'
Manage episode 495711008 series 3636137
Normal is a moving target. A slippery word we use to police behavior, silence difference, and shrink ourselves to fit. But what if ‘normal’ is the problem? In this episode, we unpack the myth of normalcy—the invisible scripts that tell us who we’re supposed to be, how we’re supposed to act, and what success is supposed to look like. We ask why we so often trade our wild, glorious weirdness for the comfort of fitting in. What does it cost us to be ‘normal’? And what might it mean to step outside that box entirely? To embrace the strangeness, the softness, the spectacular one-off-ness of being fully, unapologetically human?
