About this episode

When Nora was a first-time author, she attended a big publishing party that caused a lot of anxiety. But at one point in the party, Nora saw a familiar (to her) face that put her at ease.

_

If you have anxiety, depression or any sense of the world around you, you know that not *everything* is going to be okay. In fact, many things aren’t okay and never will be! But instead of falling into the pit of despair, we’re bringing you a little OK for your day. Every weekday, we’ll bring you one okay thing to help you start, end or endure your day with the opposite of a doom scroll.

Created and hosted by Nora McInerny.
