Normal For Us

Resilient and Empowered | International Women’s Day

This eps is in celebration of the strength, resilience, and impact of women everywhere. The women who lead, nurture, challenge norms, and continue to push forward in ways that often go unseen. We're grateful for the incredible women in our lives who inspire, support, and shape the world around them.  In this eps we're joined by three incredible women who share their experiences and perspectives. They talk openly about the realities of womanhood, the challenges they’ve faced, the lessons they’ve learned, and the ways they’ve grown into the people they are today. Their stories reflect strength, vulnerability, and the complexity of navigating identity, expectations, relationships, and purpose. Nakhesia is a first-generation American, business owner, community leader, and women's empowerment advocate. Whitney is a mental health therapist, wife, and mother. Whitney brings a unique blend of clinical insight and creative curiosity to the mic Mary-Carmen is a mindfulness educator and facilitator with a master's degree in Mindfulness Studies and a background in psychology.  This conversation is honest, thoughtful, and deeply human. A reminder of the power of women learning from each other, supporting one another, and standing together.

Normal For Us!

Normal For Us is a podcast about identity, family, culture, and the patterns we inherit without realizing it.  Hosted by Huan and Amanda, this show explores the quiet rules we grow up with. What was considered normal in our families, faiths, relationships, and communities, and what happens when those rules stop fitting. Through honest conversations, personal stories, and thoughtful reflection, we talk about belonging, change, loyalty, grief, and the tension between who we were taught to be and who we’re becoming. These aren’t quick takes or self-help fixes. They’re conversations for people living in the in-between.  New episodes explore themes like:  family expectations and identity, cultural and faith transitions, attachment and relational patterns, grief, responsibility, and belonging. Redefining “normal” in adulthood.  This podcast is for anyone who’s ever thought, “This was normal for us, but I’m not sure it works anymore.”
