0:00.0	Um, how are you?
0:03.9	Most of us say fine or good, but obviously it's not always fine and sometimes it's not even that good.
0:12.1	This is a podcast that gives people the space to be honest about how they really feel.
0:18.0	It's a place to talk about life, the good, the bad, the awkward, the complicated.
0:24.9	I'm Nora McInerney. This is thanks for asking the call-in-show where we talk about
0:47.1	what matters to you. And the theme of today's episode is, it's going to be okay. We never say everything will be okay. It's not accurate,
0:58.4	and I think everybody knows that. I think that is an aspirational phrase, but it doesn't really

2:07.9	for you to be worried about a podcast. But Jessica, if you are listening to this, I'm thinking
2:13.8	about you. I'm thinking about you all day. She is entering the palliative care
2:21.0	stage of marriage with her husband, her husband who is very much too young to be entering
2:29.1	palliative care. And so this episode is for you, Jessica. This episode is for you, listener, whoever you are.
2:38.9	If you are in the thick of the awfulness where nothing feels like it is okay, I promise you
