The Curious Case of… Normal ft. Divyanshu Ganatra

Why do we use labels for understanding people? What does “normal” mean — and who decides what’s normal for someone else?   In this episode, Ira talks with Divyanshu about how the meaning of “normal” shifts across contexts — from evolutionary needs to social expectations. They explore why labels continue to exist despite being limiting, and how questioning them can help us reframe our experiences and live more fully on our own terms.   It’s a conversation about language, identity, and empowering ourselves by asking better questions.   Because, if you really think about it, ‘normal’ is a curious word.   For more information, click here.
