Ep. 187 - Jackie Petrera how she overcame her fear of flying including panic attacks

Mike was very candid in his episode and told us before he joined that, 'In the lead up to my flight, I had seen “signs”, I’d had dreams of a plane crashing, but once I’d got on board and spoke to my pilots, I felt as safe as anything, I had the smoothest flight I have EVER taken with any airline.'  This is his story. www.lovefly.co.uk/courses/  Membership Group - Lovefly Lounge https://lovefly.podia.com/ FB - Lovefly Insta - @loveflyhelp  #fearofflying #fearofflyingpodcasts #lovefly #Virginatlantic    Intro Music 'Fearless' Daniel King
