“Know your worth. Never live your life according to someone else’s expectation of you.”
— Nichelle Polston

Empowering women to embrace their normal. This space is for women who are married, single, childfree or living their best lives by choice or chance. After all, societal norms aren’t for everyone!

about

Nichelle Polston

Wife, Daughter, Sister

Nichelle captures stories that inspire especially through her mission of empowering women. By trade she’s a journalist who decided to tell stories on her own terms, creating a fun space for women in the race against their biological clocks to get the ring or baby. Her own fertility story led to the creation and launch of HerNormal, that also explores topics for the dating, happily single, married, or comfortably childfree woman. After all, societal norms aren’t for everyone.

According to Nichelle, womanhood is not defined by what you check off your list of goals. She recognizes that there are many successful women across the globe and their lives don’t fit societal standards. Nichelle is grateful to find herself alongside a dynamic group of sisterly ladies, keeping her motivated to also elevate the voices of strong women across the globe. Nichelle loves a good story and lives a lifestyle of empowerment. She’s dedicated to encouraging women to embrace their current statuses, and not fall into the habit of comparing their lives with social media influencers who only capture perfect moments. 

“Embracing your normal doesn’t mean you’re throwing in the towel, or putting a hold on your future goals,” Nichelle expressed. It’s the realization that there’s no need to panic about life, but having the courage to live in the moment with an attitude of gratitude.” 

To Nichelle, your current “normal” isn’t permanent or a reflection of failure. It’s simply a reminder  to respect people, refraining from judging and questioning their statuses. Why? Because your normal is simply not #HerNormal.
