I’m Nora.

I’m an author, a podcast creator, a social entrepreneur and a Hot Young Widow who has remarried and is raising a beautiful blended family with her current husband (knock on wood).

I know from experience that even if your story makes people sad, you are not a sad story. If you’ve been through something hard, have seen someone else through something hard, or might go through something hard in the future…welcome. You’ll like it here.

What I Read On My Summer Vacation (there was no vacation)
"I want to do something meaningful with my life..."
"I want to do something meaningful with my life..."

It’s sophomore year of college, and I’m lying on my extra-long twin bed, talking to my mother on my hot pink Hello Kitty cordless phone. I’m telling her about my classes, and I’m not telling her about my depression or my eating disorder because it’s the early 00s and we haven’t really invented mental health yet and we certainly haven’t normalized therapy.
