272. How I overcame my fear of flying

Today's episode is a rather personal, less psychological one. I want to talk about my fear of flying but also how I have managed to bring that fear back into my control and the huge list of tips I've put together along the way. In this episode we discuss:

• Where the fear of flying emerges from
• How a fear of the unknown or a lack of control contributes
• The psychology of claustraphobia
• How the pandemic made things worse for people
• How I stopped avoiding flying + my biggest lessons
• My biggest tips for long haul flights

If you struggle getting on planes and feel like it's holding you back from adventure or travel, this episode is for you!
