E 269 Why "Being Normal" is Making You Anxious (and What To Do Instead)
Description
What if “normal” isn’t real?
In this episode, teen anxiety coach Cynthia Coufal reveals why “normal” is a social construct — and how chasing it creates more anxiety, comparison, and self-doubt.
You’ll hear powerful insights inspired by Jonathan Mooney, author of The Short Bus and Normal Sucks, and learn Cynthia’s 3-step Triangle Formula (Perception – Process – Plan) to calm your mind, build confidence, and take brave action as your authentic self.
If you’ve ever said, “I just want to be normal,” this episode will change the way you see yourself — and help you feel safe being real.
