About this episode

When we’re grieving, we sometimes find messages from the universe or dead loved ones in the most surprising places. Nora tells us about a time she found that in the Minneapolis airport.

You can watch Nora’s TED Talk about moving forward through grief here.

“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.
