459. The Portal Is Open with Caroline Moss

Some things are just a little too perfect to be random – and this is coined by Nora and guest Caroline Moss as “the portal opening.” In today’s episode of IGTBO, Nora and Caroline talk about the small moments of magic and stars aligning: Nora’s daughter’s new boyfriend’s invisible string through their lives, signs from Caroline’s grandmother, and a puppy finally learning how to ask to go outside after weeks of failed training. Not everything is going to be OK all the time. We know that. You know that. But this episode is a celebration of the moments where it feels like the universe is giving you a little nudge to remind you that something will be OK.

We Need To Talk About Post-Partum Psychosis: Ayana Lage On Her Memoir and The Case of Lindsay Clancy

Ayane Lage is the author of Missing Me: A memoir of post-partum psychosis and the long road back, her own first-hand account of an often-misunderstood and currently very hot topic, as we sat down to record this on the same week as the internet and major news outlets are tirelessly reporting and speculating on the case of Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother who strangled her three young children in what prosecutors call a pre-meditated act and what her lawyer and many women across the world are calling an act of post-partum psychosis. Ayana’s story had a very different ending – she was lucky enough to be here to share her story with us, and we’re lucky to have her here to share it.

My Mother's Money: Beth Pinsker on Finances and End of Life

If we’re lucky, we’ll all be old someday. America is gradually getting older. According to the US government, since 2001, the national median age has risen from 35.6 to 39.4. And yes, while we complain about boomers, it has to be said that attempting to retire in an economy where gas is close to $5 a gallon and a 12-pack of Diet Coke is $12 (highway robbery). According to a study by Allianz, baby boomers are the wealthiest generation to have ever lived, and account for 51.8% of the country’s total wealth. As these boomers age and – let’s say it – die – the wealth they pass down to their children and grandchildren is going to be anywhere from 68-84 trillion dollars…and unprecedented amount of money that many are calling The Great Wealth Transfer. And if that happens for some people, cool! But obviously not every boomer is rich, and many of them are passing down more generational trauma than generational wealth. In this episode of Thanks for Asking, Nora is talking to Beth Pinsker, a Certified Financial Planner and author of My Mother’s Money: A Guide to Financial Caregiving. They’re talking about finances, debt, and managing money for aging parents – something that is never easy but many of us deal with in silence. So today, we’re talking about it. Beth’s book is available on Bookshop, Amazon or wherever you buy books.

Toddler Sunday Hits Different: Finding the OK in the World with Kate Kennedy

If you’re on the brink right now, you aren’t alone. As the Summer of Surrender comes to an end, Nora wanted to bring you an episode that was made to distract you from the weight of the world. Today, she’s joined by friend of the pod and Be There in Five host Kate Kennedy to reconnect with the small things that bring them joy: in parenting, in their homes, in trinkets, and, of course, in amazing TV that takes you away from your own life, just for a little while.

He Was A Mirror Of Me: Trauma, Memories, and Family Myths Changing Lives

Our lives are shaped by our families. Not just our habits, family recipes, and noses – our stories, too. You probably know stories about your great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, or, if you’re really into Ancestry.com, as far back as five hundred years ago. You might know the names, professions, quirks, and life stories of people who could have literally never imagined your existence, and you carry those things with you. For some people, these family legends are a point of pride. It was for Ka Vang, too. She held tight to the heroic story of her father, Ying Vang, slipping away from the communist labor camp where he had been placed after being kidnapped in Laos, accompanied by an Australian pilot. But the real story? It doesn’t quite live up to the myth Ka knows. And now, as she’s preparing to pass on her family’s history to her children, she reflects on her own.

Polyamory Is Easier When One Of Them Is Dead: Answering Widow Questions with Rebecca Woolf

People tend to tiptoe around anything to do with widowhood. We know that people are clumsy with their words and their actions, and often, they don’t want to say the wrong thing or ask the wrong questions. Oftentimes, widows don’t even want to ask these questions to fellow widows. So, our inbox fills with the questions people are too scared to ask – about dating widows, about grief’s permanence, about moving forward without forgetting your person, and about widows dating other widows. Today, Nora is joined by fellow widow Rebecca Woolf to go through your burning questions and talk about grief, dating after loss, and the practical questions no one ever wants to get into. If you are a widow (or know a widow!) and have questions you wish you could ask, this episode will answer them. If we don’t cover it in this episode, call or text us at 612-568-4441.

Getting Married Again Doesn’t Make You A Bad Widow with Leslie Harter-Berg

I get questions all the time about being a remarried widow. How did I do it? How did I know? Is Matthew jealous of Aaron? How can you love two people at the same time? When you become a widow, you’re a widow forever. You will never not have a dead spouse. You will never stop wishing you could talk to them again. You will never replace that love. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find love – or yourself – all over again. Today, I’m joined by fellow remarried widow Leslie Harter-Berg to talk about becoming a widow, getting remarried, and sharing our best advice for all the widows searching for answers out there.

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.

456. Is This a 90s Summer? with Jo Piazza

Some days, OK things are all around us and naming them is a breeze. On other days, it feels like you have never, EVER been OK in your entire life. Whatever day you’re having, Nora and special guest and friend of the pod Jo Piazza are bringing you a message: to join them in their version of a 90s summer of surrender. They talk about lowering expectations, enjoying the whimsical little things (think: bedazzled pill bottles and cold pasta salad in the heat), and what parenting in the summer looks like when it isn’t a 10 second Instagram reel. 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.

“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.
