Overview

It's time to start speaking up about the all-too-common, but under-acknowledged, taboos women navigate throughout their lives. In her critically acclaimed, groundbreaking book I Had a Miscarriage, Jessica Zucker boldly exposed the silence, stigma, and shame that surround pregnancy loss and demonstrated the need to normalize conversations around painful reproductive events that too often go unspoken. In Normalize It, Zucker expands her lens to address a multitude of challenges women face that so often incite shame and overwhelming cultural pressure to stay silent. Zucker fearlessly shares her insights into the shame and stigma that shroud so many women's experiences and explores the liberation that can follow when we get vulnerable and talk about the hard stuff. Normalize It is a nuanced look at what it means to be a woman that will make listeners feel seen, heard, and empowered to tell their stories. By normalizing talking about difficult things, Zucker opens the door to creating cultural change that acknowledges and supports women's truths. Normalize It is the mirror, the motivator, and the manifesto you've been waiting for.

Author Information

Jessica Zucker, PhD, is a Los Angeles-based clinical psychologist specializing in reproductive and maternal mental health. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, New York magazine, Vogue, and Harvard Business Review, among other publications. She is the creator of the viral #IHadaMiscarriage campaign and has been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, CNN, and NPR. Dr. Zucker is the author of the award-winning books I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, a Movement and Normalize It. Chelsea Kwoka is a Los Angeles-based voice and on-camera actor known for her dynamic range and engaging performances. A Florida native, she earned her bachelor's degree in theater from Florida State University. She enjoys bringing rich characters to life and tends to voice strong female heroines with wit and warmth. Chelsea has worked extensively in both audiobooks and video games, where characters and story reign supreme. With her classical training she understands the nuance needed to bring individuality to each character when working in such complex worlds. Her work is most notably in romance, science fiction, and thrillers. Beyond voice acting, Chelsea produces and acts in films focused on female driven stories. Outside of her professional endeavors, Chelsea is passionate about hiking and camping in Southern California. She is currently studying French and teaches a stroller-Barre class for mothers in early postpartum. When she is not acting professionally, she is still performing for her two young children in their imaginative stories and games. Suzanne T. Fortin has a deep love of magic, mystery, time-travel, and snark, and specializes in narrating Sassy Redheads-particularly in the urban fantasy, thriller, and romance genres. She grew up in the woods of New Hampshire in a large French-Canadian family that planned vacations like a war campaign but also tended to get slightly lost while casually day hiking. That sense of ""Eh, we'll give it a go and see what happens,"" prepped her to move across the country on Amtrak with a duffel bag, journal, and Walkman to work in Glacier National Park as an actor. She quickly fell in love with Montana and the folks she met there. Unlikely Adventure ensued. Suzanne received her MFA in acting from the University of Montana and has performed as a touring and summer stock actor across the Northwest US. She is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and PANA. When not recording, she can be found drinking large mugs of tea, wrangling a pile of unruly teenage cats, stage-managing equally unruly Dance Majors at Scripps College, reading tarot cards, and warding off stray golf balls on her porch in Los Angeles. She misses the mountains but not needing snow tires.
