This is Paul Flaherty, Chief, Science Branch,, NOAA's Aircraft Operations Center commonly known as one of the Hurricane Chasers.  This is a brilliant episode - super reassuring in terms of Turbulence, Hurricanes, Storms and much more about weather reporting.  www.lovefly.co.uk/courses/ FB - Lovefly Insta - loveflyhelp  Intro music 'Fearless' Daniel King More information about Paul Background:  Born in Quincy, Massachusetts, a small city just outside Boston.

Jackie's story is super inspiring in its practical, pragmatic, unflinching and consistent manner in which she addressed her fears. After missing out on a fabulous once in a lifetime trip to Italy, which she totally regrets, she buckled down and just faced her fear one day at a time.  She also talks about who inspired her to keep going and her favourite podcasts too.  www.lovefly.co.uk/courses/ FB - Lovefly Insta @loveflyhelp YouTube - @loveflyteam #fearofflying #panicattacks #anxiety    Intro music 'Fearless' Daniel King
