What did "fear" mean before it meant being scared? Centuries ago, the word described an ambush, a sudden strike in broad daylight. In this Halloween special, Wish traces fear from its ancient root to the feeling we know today. She shares the worst fear of her life, a real ambush in her own home, and the "never panic" lesson from her dad that carried her through it. She also talks about trusting your gut as a solo traveller and facing fear with curiosity and calculated risk. When your alarm bell rings, do you freeze up, or are you brave enough to step through the door?
