When we asked past participants what stood out most from Navigating Flight Anxiety at MSP Airport, these were the top 5 things they shared:

1️⃣ Walking through security without the pressure of catching a flight — just being in the airport felt easier after that.
2️⃣ Sitting in a real aircraft and trying a calming mindfulness exercise right from the seat.
3️⃣ Finally getting to ask all their questions about flying — and getting answers from both a therapist and an aviation pro. 4️⃣ Being surrounded by people who truly “get it” — no judgment, no explanations needed.
5️⃣ Watching planes take off and land from the observation deck — and realizing how routine and safe it is.

Next weekend, we’re taking flight anxiety coaching inside MSP Airport.

You’ll walk through security with our group, step into the trainer plane for guided mindfulness and open conversation, and then head to the observation deck to watch takeoffs — with us there to answer questions every step of the way.

It’s practical. It’s hands-on.

And it’s all in the place where your fears usually show up.

If you can’t seem to stop worrying before something even happens, your brain is doing exactly what it thinks it should—trying to warn you of a possible threat.

But don’t take the bait.

Instead of reacting to the worry, get curious about it.

✅ Notice your body. When do you feel your heart race, muscles tense, or stomach tighten?
✅ Watch your thoughts. What outcomes is your mind predicting or trying to prevent?
✅ Look for patterns. Which situations keep making you uneasy? There’s usually a theme—like uncertainty, responsibility, or fear of losing control.

When you start paying attention this way, you take power back from anxiety.
You begin to understand it, instead of letting it run the show.

When it comes to dealing with anxious thoughts, the key isn't to push them away – that can sometimes make them linger. So, instead of saying, "I shouldn't feel this way," "I need to get rid of this," or "I can't let anyone see my anxiety," let's invite anxiety along for the journey. Here are some powerful phrases to try instead:

"I can handle anxiety; it won't defeat me."
"Anxiety is just a part of life; it doesn't overshadow everything else."
"I'm learning to release my worries."
"When anxious thoughts arise, I can slow down, breathe, and let them pass."
"Comfort is nice, but not always necessary."
"This too shall pass, just like every storm."
"I don't have to believe all my thoughts; they're not facts."
"I'll treat worries like pop-up ads on the internet – I can notice them but not give them my full attention."

Let's shift the narrative on anxiety and show it who's in control. Which of these phrases resonates with you today? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 💬

Want to work on your fear of flying? Live near the Twin Cities?

Our MSP Airport event might be a great low-pressure next step.

No flight required—just a chance to be inside the airport and sit inside of a real aircraft.

We’ll walk through the terminal together, spend time in the trainer plane, answer any questions about your concerns about flying and teach you how to start working on being able to fly with less fear.

It’s a short but powerful experience designed to help you build confidence towards flying.

This event will be held on Saturday, May 16.

Anticipation anxiety can feel even harder than the thing you’re waiting for.

Your brain fills in the unknown with the worst-case scenario, and before you know it, you’ve already lived the event 10 times in your head.

These prompts are designed to help you step out of the spiral and back into the present moment. 🌿

Save these for the next time your mind won’t stop “what if-ing.”

Many common strategies to manage anxiety can backfire by reinforcing the idea that anxiety is a real threat. Instead of providing long-term relief, these tactics consume time and energy, preventing you from fully living your life. To effectively manage anxiety, it's essential to take a paradoxical a

Imagine walking through the airport and sitting inside a real aircraft… without the pressure of actually getting on a flight.
That’s exactly what our MSP Airport event is about.

You’ll spend time in the trainer plane, practice going through security, and join a live Q&A with us—Jenny (therapist who specializes in flight anxiety) and Justin (former aviation guy + therapist).

This is your chance to:

✅ See the airport and aircraft up close in a calm, supportive environment
✅ Ask your questions—big or small—about flying, anxiety, or both
✅ Be surrounded by others who feel the same way you do about flying

If you’ve got a flight coming up and wish you could feel more calm and in control, this is for you.

I created the Flight Anxiety Audio Series—three short audio lessons where I walk you through 12 evidence-based strategies to help you fly with less fear.

You’ll learn:
✅ What’s really happening in your brain when flight anxiety kicks in
✅ How to manage the “what if” spiral before and during takeoff
✅ Practical tools to use when turbulence or panic shows up And there’s a bonus track you can play on the plane— a short, calming track to help you feel grounded and capable while you fly.

These aren’t meditations — they’re lessons designed to help you think differently about flying, and start feeling more confident each time you board.

🚨 21 days to go! 🚨

Imagine learning how to handle flight anxiety while sitting inside a real aircraft… and then watching planes take off from the observation deck — all with experts right there to guide you.

That’s exactly what’s happening at our Navigating Flight Anxiety at MSP Airport event.

We’ll walk through security together, spend time in the trainer plane for mindfulness practice + conversation, and finish with live Q&A while planes taxi and take off right in front of us.
