welcome to our not so normal podcast

this isn’t normal is a podcast for those doing more than expected hosted by Angelica Connor.

At 22 years old, Angelica became the CEO of a construction company. Like many young professionals, she searched for podcasts, books, and mentors who understood what it felt like to navigate leadership, ambition, and adulthood all at once. After hundreds of podcast episodes and more self-help books than she could count, she realized most of the advice felt repetitive, came from a completely different generation, or simply wasn’t relatable.

So she created the podcast she wished existed.

Your 20s and 30s can feel like a constant balancing act. Careers, relationships, expectations, setbacks, big goals, and all the other chaos life throws at you. Yet somehow, everyone online seems to have it all figured out.

Here’s the truth: they don’t.

this isn’t normal is about normalizing the messy middle. The uncertainty. The ambition. The mistakes. The growth. The conversations no one else is having.

Each week, Angelica sits down with people who are building careers, businesses, and lives that don’t follow the “normal” path. Through honest conversations and practical lessons, the goal is simple: to help you feel seen, supported, and inspired to chase whatever it is you’re working toward.

New episodes drop every week. Follow along on social media and join us as we challenge what’s normal and build something better together.
