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!

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.
