January 23, 2025 442. The Kindness of Strangers
We said Ciao for Now, and now we're back...

THINGS ARE DEFINITELY NOT OK RIGHT NOW! We know it. You know it. Your dog knows it (who told her??). But even when things are terrible, there’s something out there — however small — that is at least okay. Today’s episode is an exercise in finding (and sharing) the ok, with stories of the ways strangers have shown up for us in our times of need.

Thanks to everyone who called (or texted!) in.

Call or text us at 612.568.4441 any time.

January 03, 2025 441. Ciao for Now
As we start 2025, we have a big announcement to make: It’s Going To Be Okay, the daily podcast is going away.

Going forward, Nora will be publishing a new podcast on her Substack. You can watch her YouTube channel for more moments of gratitude and okay things (plus other fun content!).

Thank you for listening to this show and sharing all of your okay things over the last two years!
