What's Up, Danger?

What's Up, Danger? Leaps of Faith in IVF, Career, and Life Courtney shares that "What's Up Danger" from Into the Spider-Verse helped her hype herself up to self-administer painful IVF hormone shots, connecting it to Miles Morales' leap-of-faith scene where he forces himself to let go. Juana and Courtney reflect on IVF as a physically and psychologically difficult experience that ultimately led them to two children, and broaden the metaphor to career risk-taking: leaving steady jobs, pursuing fulfillment, and taking scary but necessary next steps, including a recent leap Courtney made that shifted not just money but time. They compare the thrill and terror to Man on Wire and discuss learning to be "intentionally nervous" while rejecting the idea of a perfect path. Courtney cites adopting their dog Harvey—initially wanting to give him away—as another personal leap, and they end by urging listeners to find their own "song" for big decisions.   00:00 Song That Got Me Through 00:33 IVF Shots And Fear 01:14 Leap Of Faith Scene 01:58 Why The Moment Hits 02:58 IVF Trauma Bond 03:27 Career Leaps And Fulfillment 04:21 Terrifying Next Level Move 05:06 Man On A Wire Analogy 05:43 Choosing Nerves On Purpose 06:45 Next Danger Era 07:58 Host Quits His Job 09:16 Harvey The Dog Leap 10:41 Find Your Own Song
