On today’s episode of IGTBO, Charley Burlock – one of our favorite guests from our sister show, Thanks for Asking – joins Nora and is locked, loaded, and ready to make your day more OK. The universe itself blessed this episode with the Shark vacuum (Charley’s favorite AND a company Nora’s late father wrote infomercials for), brave farmers refusing to hand over their land to data centers, the beauty of spontaneous kindness, and younger Charley’s trail of adoring fan letters to every author she loved.

About It's Going to Be OK

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.

Find Nora’s weekly here. Also, check out Nora on YouTube.

Share your OK thing at 502-388-6529‬ or by emailing a note or voice memo to [email protected]. Start your message with “I’m (name) and it’s going to be okay.”

The IGTBO team is Nora McInerny, Claire McInerny Marcel Malekebu, Amanda Romani and Grace Barry.
