“It’s Going To Be OK” is a hard thing to believe given the state of, oh, everything. Many things are, in fact, not going to be okay at all. But on the advice of a wise therapist, we’re on a quest to find one okay thing about every day. Each morning, we bring you a short story, essay, or interview about one thing that makes us — or our guests — feel like it might not all be so bad ... even if some things are.
Join us every morning to start your day with the opposite of a doom scroll. And share your okay thing by leaving us a voicemail at 612-568-4441 or by emailing IGTBO@feelingsand.co.

So fantastic

Nora has hit it out of the park. I just adore everything about her but sometimes I have to pass on her original podcast because it leaves me feeling sad. Now I’m so thrilled to hear her wisdom and lovely voice everyday and feel better for it.
