    Bonus Ep: How did I get here? And other questions

    It’s the summer of surrender (stay tuned for Tuesday’s episode for more on this!), when we are allowing things to go wrong and accept them, because guess what? You’re not going to check everything off your to-do list. You’re not going to make every made-up deadline. You’re not going to respond to every non-urgent email right away. And that’s OK. So, in honor of that, today’s bonus episode is a little chaotic. Nora fields your questions and listens to your stories – the good, the funny, and, of course, the sad. Watch us on YouTube here! Listen to Geoffrey’s album on Spotify and Apple! You can buy Nora’s books on Bookshop or Amazon, or wherever you buy books. Nora is on IG, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn

    Uprooted: What Can Happen When a Black Child Is Transracially Adopted by a White Family?

    Adoption is often viewed as a happy ending, and sometimes it is! But for Thenedra, her experiences as a child in the foster care system and later as a trans-racial adoptee were — and still are — much more complicated than that. This is an episode about what can happen when trans-racial foster and adoptive parents are not just unprepared to raise traumatized children, but also unprepared to raise Black children in a predominantly white society.

    Nothing Starts on Sunday but Birth Control with Courtney Maum

    If you’ve been feeling like life is throwing everything at you all at once – burnout, exhaustion, chaos – today’s episode is for you. Today, Nora is joined by author and friend of the pod Courtney Maum, who brought OK things from weird Zillow listings in Florida to fancy gifts from very classy ladies. And, despite their love for each other, they very nearly have a friendship-ending fight – over whether the calendar should start on Sunday or Monday. Things get pretty heated.

  4. What happens after Viral Fame? Rebecca Black can tell you.

    What happens after Viral Fame? Rebecca Black can tell you.

    In 2011, it was impossible to escape the “Friday” music video. September 16, 2011 changed the trajectory of pop culture – and of 13-year-old Rebecca Black’s life – forever. What started as a harmless, fun music video (with yes, some questionable lyrics) turned into a vitriolic mob obsessed with bullying a teenage girl. Even now, every few months the song will resurface on TikTok. But what happens to the person behind the viral fame? What happens to the subject of unnecessary hate? Rebecca Black is on the pod to tell you. Watch us on YouTube here! Listen to Geoffrey’s album on Spotify and Apple! You can buy Nora’s books on Bookshop or Amazon, or wherever you buy books.

    A Spiritual Hug with Nadia Bolz-Weber

    Today’s IGTBO episode is a spiritual hug – as previous guest and friend of the pod Kelly Corrigon called it – with guest Nadia Bolz-Weber, a beautiful writer, a fellow griever, and a pastor. Don't be frightened away from this episode if you are not a religious person – there won’t be any lecturing here. Nadia is not that kind of religious person. She’s the kind of religious person that, at the very least, inspires you to find the beauty in the world around you. And that’s what today’s episode is – a balm for your soul and a confirmation that a small, simple life is more than enough. You can find Nadia’s work on Substack ⁠here⁠. You can share your okay things with us at ☎️502-388-OKAY (6529) or 📧 ⁠IGTBO@feelingsand.co⁠  To support our show, you can subscribe to our YouTube content ⁠here⁠.

    There’s an Alien Inside Me: Medical Misogyny, a Rom-Com, and Struggles with Infertility

    Nicole was 21 years old and had an alien growing inside her chest.  Well, no, not really. But it WAS an extremely large tumor growing inside of her that very much FELT like an alien — an alien that doctors had told her multiple times was just weight gain. After dismissal time after time again, Nicole finally meets a surgeon who tells her that she has a massive cyst on her fallopian tube that was 32 centimeters wide. This isn’t just a story about the pain of medical misogyny (although, hey, if you needed more proof women are never taken as seriously as they should be in healthcare, here’s more for you!) – it’s also a story about the pain of what could have been.
