About this episode
A listener named Madilynn tells us about how during a season of unemployment (and a lot of anxiety) she helped her dad with some yard work to distract herself. That day of manual labor had a bigger impact on her mental health than she anticipated.

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.
