Reasons to Stop Measuring Yourself Against “Normal”
Today, Amber Cabral invites us to challenge one of the most deeply ingrained myths in our culture: the idea of “normal.” From personal experience, financial uncertainty, and real conversations with her mentees and clients, Amber explores how chasing normal—or trying to be liked, accepted, or conventional—can quietly derail us from the lives we actually want. She draws a powerful parallel between investing in the stock market and investing in our lives: both come with risk, and both are distorted by fear and stigma. Whether you’re feeling like you’ve fallen off your “plan” or navigating family pressure, judgment, or shame, Amber encourages you to ask the bigger questions: Who is this performance for? What fears are holding me hostage? What would I do if none of those fears were real? This episode offers journal prompts, thoughtful reframes, and gentle but honest truths about the stories we’ve accepted as “success,” “adulthood,” or “the right way”—and what it takes to unlearn them. Sometimes, the most liberating move is the one that looks nothing like the plan. Tune in.
