In this episode of Selective Hearing, Julie Dammar sits down with Debbie Harrell, host of the New World Normal podcast, to explore what it means to challenge and redefine societal norms. Debbie shares the pivotal moments that led her to question traditional expectations, including a personal "stumble" between 2017 and 2019 that ultimately shifted her perspective.
Together, they discuss the unspoken pressures many women face—feeling like they need permission to explore their identities and desires—and how we can start rewriting that narrative. Debbie also reflects on the power of selective hearing, recognizing when to tune out limiting beliefs and embrace personal growth. If we have the power to reshape what's considered "normal," what's one step we can all take toward a more authentic life? Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation.
Episode Takeaways:
- Questioning Norms is Empowering – Debbie Harrell shares how a personal stumble led her to reevaluate societal and personal expectations, proving that questioning the status quo can catalyze growth.
- Selective Hearing as a Tool – Knowing what to tune out—whether it's self-doubt, societal pressures, or limiting beliefs—can be key to personal transformation and creating a life on your own terms.
- Women Don't Need Permission to Explore Themselves – Many women feel trapped by expectations. Still, true fulfillment comes from giving yourself the freedom to discover who you are and what you truly want.
- Redefining "Normal" is a Choice – If we collectively challenge outdated beliefs and expectations, we can shift what's considered "normal" and create a world that aligns with our values and well-being.
- Small Steps Lead to Big Change – Breaking free from limiting norms doesn't have to happen overnight. Even small mindset shifts can create a ripple effect, leading to a more authentic and fulfilling life.
