About this episode

A woman named Emily starts messaging Nora on Instagram whenever she feels totally overwhelmed by life in her 20s. This DM exchange has turned into a sort of confessional, and Nora has witnessed Emily work through the stress of dating, work and figuring out what to do with her life.
