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.

One of our listeners wrote in to talk about her constant fear of not being relevant as her kids and grandkids get older. But she really thought about it, it seemed like her relevance was there, it just looked different than she thought.
