A listener named Sharon is trying to be a better cook, so she’s been spending a lot of time watching PBS cooking shows.
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.

I’m Nora McInerny and It’s Going To Be Okay.
Today our okay thing comes from Sharon Robsky who sent us an email:
I turned 40 last month and I’m in the very early stages of getting a divorce. So I’ve been coping with that by focusing my energy on learning how to be a better cook.
One ok thing I’ve found is the show Lidia’s Kitchen on the PBS app. Lidia is very warm and the scenes where she’s cooking in her kitchen are done in a personable way. It’s like you’re sitting in your own grandma’s kitchen learning one of her recipes while also hearing bits of family history. Lidia was raised in northern Italy and moved to the US as a child.
Lidia does vaguely look like my maternal grandmother who passed away in 2005. Although that’s where the similarities end. My maternal grandma’s heritage was Irish and her passion was sewing
However it is nice to sit down to watch episodes of Lidia’s Kitchen. The episodes are all under 30 minutes and are a nice dose of warm grandma vibes to counteract all the hard adulting I’ve got to do.
