Digitally Crushed by Grief Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

There are times we expect grief to hit us: death anniversaries, birthdays, holidays. But when grief attacks us out of nowhere, what do we do? How do we deal? And even worse – what if it happens digitally? If our dead partner’s Instagram is suddenly gone? If their voicemails or texts get deleted? Grief is a language that all of us will someday be able to speak. Today, we’re listening to those of us who have been crushed by digital grief.

The IBS in Me Recognizes the IBS in You w/Caroline Moss Oct 14, 2025

Show notes

This is a PSA: you’re not too old to make a best friend. Just because you no longer have assigned seating in a classroom or a playground or playdates doesn’t mean you can’t find your best friend in the whole world on Twitter (we’re never calling it X) or Slack or… a hospitalization program? The point is, putting yourself out there can be embarrassing, but you never know when you’re going to stumble across the person that is going to change your life. In this episode, Nora is joined by her platonic soulmate, Caroline Moss of Gee Thanks, Just Bought It! to read your adult bestie stories and tell their own.

From The Archives: October 8, 1988 Oct 08, 2025

Show notes

Suffering can feel like such a singular experience -- like there’s no one else in the world who understands what we’re going through. But sometimes, if we look hard enough, we find that our singular experience intersects with another.

This is the story of two young girls whose stories intertwined during a tragic accident on October 8, 1988 … though they wouldn’t meet for decades to come.
