"A vital cultural reset." - Oprah Daily, Reading Room Selection

---

It's time to start speaking up about the all-too-common, but under-acknowledged, taboos women navigate throughout their lives including intimacy, body image, motherhood, miscarriage, abortion, sexual trauma, peri/menopause, and more.

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. Based on patient stories, coupled with cutting-edge psychological research, 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 readers 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.
