You’re not normal, and that’s ok.

I received my Bachelors degree in Anthropology almost seven years ago (gasp!). I started by studying Archaeology, but after traveling to South America on an archaeological dig for ancient Incan artifacts, I found that I was more interested in learning about the locals then digging in the dirt.

I shifted my studies into Cultural Anthropology, and after studying cultural norms across the world for years, I’ve realized that there is no such thing as ‘Normal’.

We think something’s normal because it’s what we’re surrounded with, what we grew up with, what we were taught to do or not do. But believe me, what you may think is normal may be appalling in a cultural group across the globe and vice versa.

I’ve been fascinated by the idea of ‘Normal’ for quite some time and it’s one of the main reasons I originally pursued Anthropology, in addition to the fact that it involved my love of travel. The reason that I find it so interesting is because of the amount of joy or sadness this word can bring us.

We’re so afraid of not being normal. Of not meeting the norm. Or on the other side of the coin are those who try so hard to break out of their cultural norm so that they can feel different and be rebels. But when you get down to the root of it, none of this really exists. You choose who you are and how you feel.

What I’m asking you to do is look at your life. Look at the areas where you are doing something because it’s ‘Normal’ or it’s what you ‘Should’ do, but it just doesn’t feel right.

Yes there’s certain responsibilities that we create for ourselves throughout life that we often need to stick with such as raising our children or taking care of our pets. But there’s also choices that we have to make based on what WE need, not on what society tells us we need, such as choosing healthy relationships, pursuing work we love, and eating food that makes us feel our best even if you might be labeled a ‘health nut’.

Create space around yourself to just be you.

A space where you don’t need to worry about impressing anyone else or what others are going to think of you. To make choices that feel so right that you don’t need anyone else’s approval. This is the work I love to do every day with my clients.

The funny thing is, what we really need is more people who live authentically. You are absolutely inspiring being exactly who you are deep down and will be a magnet for love when you just be you.

If you’re not sure where to start then maybe it’s time to reach out for a little help.

Working with a coach doesn’t mean that something’s wrong with you. Quite the contrary it means that Nothing is wrong with you and you’re ready to start feeling that way.

I offer private coaching to help you create the space to live your truth (p.s. there’s a Group Coaching Program on the way soon!)

You can sign up for any and all HERE. So save a spot in my schedule and get started being the least ‘Normal’ person you know 😉
