***Warning - This Episode Contains Conversations About Death***
The one certainty in life is death. And though we know it will always come, we can never get used to the grief it brings.

In my Season 2 finale I explain how sharing my journey to becoming normal is not enough to realize the hopes of the Normalized Podcast. So I found four diverse, brave souls willing to share their journeys too. Introducing Vic, Amanda, Jay and Jake. Their stories are a preview for Season 3, coming in winter of 2018.
Who we are today did not occur in a vacuum. There is context to our lives that began long before we were born. The stories that make us are not always easy to share but it's imperative that we do. In this episode I share how the stories of others are pieces of not just me, but perhaps you as well. Special thanks to all those who helped me put this together, including Amanda, Irene, Cory, Jay, john, Casey and Reggie. Go to my FB page to find out more on the readers.
