You're weird.
That's normal.
You're weird.
That's normal.
Welcome to Abbey Normal
Hi! I'm Abbey
Welcome to this show where we talk about all the stuff that makes us feel weird about ourselves- from homeroom to the boardroom.
It feels good to get. it. all. out. Laugh about it, cry about it, and face the reality that actually, all that stuff makes us normal. (And awesome!)
Within a story-telling format, you get to join all my convos with friends. They follow the trajectory of “normal” life – the drama of our teenage days, the mundane daily tasks, hilarious adventures, and profound beauty.
BONUS: I have all my notes from friends middle through high school.
(I know, it's a problem.) On the show we highlight these gems that chronicle the embarrassment of figuring out who you are.
