Carry us to far off corners of the world. Maybe new adventures or repeating affairs.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; But that anxiety doesn’t leave.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Getting to the airport.&amp;nbsp; Going through check-in,&amp;nbsp; security,&amp;nbsp; finding the gate, smooshing yourself onto the plane&amp;nbsp; and finding your seat.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; But then there is the fear of leaving all that you once knew.&amp;nbsp; Saying goodbye to loved ones. Putting your normal life on pause.&amp;nbsp; Every familiar sound, smell, and comfort will be thousands of miles away, and you don't know what you are getting yourself into.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This episode explores the stages of anxiety we experience before we take off and how to buckle up for what is coming next.
