About Almost Normal Podcast

Join me, Rita, as I dive into the messy, beautiful, and often challenging realities of life in your 20s and beyond. In each episode, I explore topics that hit close to home-whether it’s navigating career doubts, managing anxiety, or battling procrastination. Together, we’ll unravel what it means to be human, from the pressures of time passing too fast to the relentless pursuit of satisfaction. Expect honest conversations, personal stories, and insights on issues that matter-from the sexualization of female bodies and online censorship to the everyday struggles that shape who we are. This is a space for anyone seeking to understand themselves better, embrace their imperfections, and find solace in shared experiences. Subscribe and join the conversation as we explore the ups and downs of modern life with authenticity, empathy, and a touch of humor.
