Ep. 5 What Flying a Plane Taught Me About Fear

In this episode, I recount the experience of flying a plane, and what the experience taught me about fear, grief, and control. We dive into:✔ What fear actually is—and why trying to “conquer” it can sometimes backfire.✔ How flying a plane mirrored the parts of myself I am still trying to feel and understand.✔The unexpected lessons that come when a breakthrough doesn’t arrive.✔ Why coming up against yourself might be the most important thing you do.✔ What it means to surrender and allow the world to work through you. This is an episode about confronting the mirror—about doing the thing not to prove yourself, but to meet yourself. Sometimes the fear doesn’t leave. But we learn who we are when we show up anyway.If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts or stories.Thanks so much for listening, and as always—thank you for seeing me. 💫Check out my debut romance, small town, slow burn, friends to lovers novel here! 👇🏼Under the Same Sky by Kate Hill 📖Find me here 👇🏼Threads ✨Tiktok ✨Instagram ✨Goodreads ✨Thanks for listening! 🥂 Get full access to The Folklore Library at insertwisdom.substack.com/subscribe
