  • That girllllllllll
    Really helpful whilst in flight!
    I listen to this podcast when I’m feeling nervous in the air. The knowledgeable experts bring me a lot of comfort. Really great podcast.

    This has helped tremendously!!
    I developed a fear of flying about 12 years ago after experiencing some turbulence on a flight. I didn’t know why I was so scared afterwards and it’s getting worse over the years. We are planning a vacation and the thought of buying plane tickets kept sending me into anxiety attacks. Tight chest, stomach ache, nausea, worrying and nightmares. One nightmare so bad I was in a constant anxiety attack for a week. I couldn’t talk about flying or have anyone talk to me about it, so I decided I need to figure some way to get over this fear. I used to love to fly before!! Well I found this podcast and started listening while at work especially when I felt the fear and anxiety start to creep in. It also helped me zero in on why my fear started. It was in part due to the turbulence on the flight, but mostly it’s due to the fact that on that flight I was a new mom with a 1yr old! It’s been about a month now of me listening to Paul and his guests and I’m happy to say we booked our tickets and I can feel the excitement about the trip starting to overpower the fear and anxiety I was feeling. Soooooooooo incredibly happy and grateful I found this podcast!!!! If you read these reviews Paul, thank you for doing what you do!!!

    Awesome
    Great podcast for anyone who has a fear of flying
  • GitaCBrown
    Fantastic resource!
    The Lovefly Podcast has been a game-changer for me! It has helped me move from a near-crippling anxiety about flying to being an aviation enthusiast! Each episode has so much information that I find myself listening several times just to take it all in. The variety of presenters addresses so many different perspectives and ways to address fear of flying; it is like filling my head with reality-based goodness! I found the podcast when I realized that my fear was taking over; and the episodes helped me learn the actual facts and realities of modern aviation. Now I actually enjoy flying! Knowledge truly is power!

    Life changing

    I’m so happy I found this podcast!
    This podcast has been a godsend. It’s very helpful to be able to listen to experts discuss how safe flying really is.
  • beckywilks
    Worth the listen if you have fears.
    This has been so helpful! Thank you so very much for creating this content that so many need.
  • Ace88
    Made all the difference!
    I was feeling a great deal of anxiety about a long flight with my husband and kids when I came across this podcast. I listened to four episodes the week before our trip, and I can’t get over how much it helped. I felt almost no anxiety on the flight out, spent my vacation without the dread of another flight hanging over me, and experienced nearly 2 hours of some of the worst turbulence I’ve ever felt on the way back, and I was fine! I just kept thinking, “this is uncomfortable but it’s not dangerous”. I have had anxiety about flying for almost ten years and wish I’d found this long ago. Thank you, and I hope it helps others as much as it helped me!
  • Mommylawyer
    Please never stop these
    I’ve been terrified of flying for 20 years. I do it, but it’s very difficult. I found this podcast mid-flight on my way to Florida when we were flying over some pretty severe storms (aka turbulence) and this saved me from a panic attack. Please keep it up, and thank you!

    Phenomenal!
    Flying never bothered me until I had a bad flight experience and then I was terrified and started completely overthinking all of it. I have a flight coming up next week and was looking to find something to help and came across this podcast. Amazing. I am looking forward to my flight now! I realized everything that I was scared of was all just stuff I did not understand! I listened to the episode where they covered the reasons people are scared to fly and it cleared up all the “what if’s” I had. I even shared this podcast with my mom who has always been an anxious flyer. Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into this podcast it is SO appreciated! God bless!
