About this listen
In this episode of Family Matters with Instructor Mike, we tear down the myth of normality and expose how institutions, schools, and even well-meaning adults use “normal” as a tool of control, not compassion. From developmental psychology to the science of constructed emotion, Instructor Mike breaks down how culture programs you to perform instead of be yourself — and how to reclaim your power by refusing to fit into a mold that was never meant for your blueprint.
You’ll learn:
• Why “normal” is a social construct — and who benefits from it
• The difference between impairment and disability, and why society creates dysfunction by refusing to adapt
• Five subtle ways people pressure you into becoming who they can handle
• Three tools to step out of compliance and into authentic identity
This is the episode for anyone who’s ever been labeled “too much,” “too sensitive,” “too different,” or “not enough.”
Stop shrinking. Start standing.
Because fitting in was never the goal — functioning as you are is.
