Episode 39 – Idioms of Normality hosted by Dr. Paul H. Mason
What if we stop trying to fix people and start empowering them for who and what they are?
How to Live, Learn, and Thrive, Outside the Line
In this episode of Idioms of Normality, Paul interviews Jonathan Mooney, author of Normal Sucks. Jonathan shares his personal experiences of growing up on “the wrong side of normal” and the hardwon insights he has learnt from finding value in his difference. He pays his insights forward and teaches others how to recognise, resist and reframe normality in their own lives. Normal can be written into the fabric of the systems we work within as students, citizens and employees. Recognizing and reframing normality, wherever it rears its ugly head, is important if we wish to achieve social and environmental justice.
