About this episode

Nora lives in the desert, where there are lots of little critters running around. And the lizards? They’re always trying to get swole. 

“It’s Going To Be OK” is a daily podcast from Feelings and Co. 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.

Share your OK thing at 612.568.4441 or by emailing IGTBO@feelingsand.co.

“It’s Going To Be OK” is brought to you by The Hartford. The Hartford is a leading insurance provider that’s helping to simplify employee benefits by making them more personal and easier to understand.
