About this episode

If you find yourself struggling on the holiday, this pep talk is for you. If this is the best day of the year and you don’t listen to this episode until next week when the holiday dust settles down…this pep talk is also for you. Because no matter how you feel about any single day, Nora reminds us a day is such a fleeting thing.

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.
