Stories, lessons, reflections, on what it means to chart your own course, to live a life that’s truly yours.
Life doesn’t come with a manual. From the moment we take our first steps, we navigate its unpredictable twists and turns, learning through moments of joy—and often through profound challenges.
Along the way, the people who touch our lives—family, friends, mentors, even strangers—leave an indelible mark, guiding us, inspiring us, or teaching us lessons we didn’t know we needed. Sometimes, even a story shared on a blog can be the hand that helps steady us.
At Ms. Normal, I aim to be one of those hands.
This blog is a heartfelt space where I explore the complexities of life through reflections on career, marriage, parenting, divorce, relationships, wellness, and spirituality—topics that shape and define us as women navigating an ever-changing world.
For many of us, the women around us—mothers, sisters, friends, neighbors, or mentors—have profoundly influenced our lives. Their words, actions, or even their silences planted seeds of resilience, strength, and possibility within us.
I’ve often reflected on my own journey. On the surface, I seemed to have it all: a strong education, a thriving corporate career, international experiences, a loving marriage, and a beautiful family.
But behind the scenes, life was unraveling. My 40s brought an avalanche of change—divorce, career collapse, a midlife crisis, financial struggles, and a life-altering medical diagnosis. Everything I thought I knew about myself was called into question.
Forced to pause and reflect, I came to a sobering realization: I had spent much of my life living up to others’ expectations, not my own.
That painful awakening became the catalyst for transformation. Rebuilding my life wasn’t easy, but it was deeply rewarding. It taught me to embrace authenticity, lean into change, and discover purpose even in the chaos.
Now, I share my journey to connect with others who may be facing similar crossroads—women asking themselves whether they’re truly living life on their terms. My hope is that this space becomes a source of inspiration, encouragement, and community.
