Ep. 231 - Barb Molt tells her inspiring story of perseverance and some great resources to help your fear of flying

Meet Phil Cain... Phil is a great friend of our special friend Captain Bing Bong Peter Higgins 'I Spent 30yrs in the Met Police, the last 15 as a Detective. On leaving I wanted to fulfil a passion I've always had - working in aviation and I was able to do that. I've worked at Gatwick for a number of years both on a Resilience Team and for the last couple of years as a Ramp Agent. I fly when I can (As a passenger) and still get excited about it! I live 20 mins from the Airport with my wife and 3 cats and love cruises, travel and my job!'

Meet Father and Son, John and Roy Diggory. John is a retired Pilot and Training Standards Captain, dutiful husband, proud father to three and hands-on grandad to six.​   "When Roy suggested writing this book together, I thought that it was a great opportunity to do something together and to share my passion and reassurance with those who find plane travel difficult. I have always loved flying, and I hope that my years of experience and insider knowledge can help others to really understand how safe it is to fly." Roy has spent his career working in behavioural science, coaching, training, change management and personal development. He is also a proud father to his three daughters. Despite his previous fear of flying, Roy loves to visit new places, and he has travelled to many parts of the world, for work and for fun. Roy also enjoys reading, writing, travel blogging, music, coaching and watching football, visiting theme parks and running (including several marathons). "The original book was going to be 'Third Time Lucky' as I am the third and luckiest Roy in the family. The two other Roys lost their lives in plane crashes. It is no wonder I developed an intense fear of flying.  Being able to live with and manage this fear of flying is so important because I love to travel and there are a lot more places on my bucket list.”  In this book, 'Feel the Fear and Fly Anyway'  I share my personal strategies for coping with flying and I hope they can help others as well."#fearofflying #flyingwithoutfear #lovefly #turbulence #pilot  www.lovefly.co.uk/courses/ FB - Lovefly Insta - @loveflyhelp Intro Music, 'Fearless' Daniel King
