In this week's episode, we welcome Joanna Kalafatis, an actress and travel writer, who shares her journey of overcoming a fear of flying while pursuing her career. Joanna divides her time between Greece and the U.S., and despite her travel anxiety, she continues to explore the world and share her experiences through her travel blog, "Lose the Map."

Joanna talks candidly about her fear, which started after a turbulent takeoff in 2018, and the methods she uses to manage her anxiety while flying. She discusses cognitive behavioral therapy, grounding techniques, and the importance of focusing on the reasons for traveling, such as visiting loved ones or discovering new cultures.

Through humor and storytelling, Joanna offers insights into her personal strategies for dealing with discomfort and shares her love for films, which provide a welcomed distraction during flights. Her journey highlights the importance of facing fears to embrace the adventures and opportunities that await at the destination. #fearofflying #lovefly #flyingwithoutfear #anxiety www.lovefly.co.uk/courses/  Private Accountability Lovefly Lounge - https://lovefly.podia.com/  - Facebook Group 'Lovefly' Instagram - @loveflyhelp
