I don't like flying. But I do love adventure. And I love getting to speak across the country. So I have to get over the whole "don't like flying" thing to make those other two loves continue to happen.

In this quick video, I share the most effective technique I use to reduce the physical anxiety and stress my body feels while flying (especially during the rocky and turbulent parts).

I hope it's helpful to you. And, if you'd like, check out the full story that inspired this @BrianaHansen or my website brianahansen.com

What happens when a grown man demands that a child’s Disneyland balloon be popped before takeoff? Chaos, tension… and a lesson in emotional intelligence.

In this 12-minute episode of A Spark, I share the true story of a delayed flight, a very angry passenger, and an emotionally intelligent flight attendant who somehow managed to validate everyone’s feelings, de-escalate the situation, and get us into the air without a full-blown meltdown.

It’s a funny, human story about empathy, communication, and what happens when we let someone with real people skills take the lead in a stressful situation.

In hindsight, it’s wild how many things could’ve gone terribly wrong. The winds. The water. The place we flipped.

But somehow, by a mix of luck and people way smarter than me, we were okay.

It’s humbling — and a little terrifying — to realize just how close the line between “fine” and “disaster” can be.

There’s nothing like kayaking in rough seas and suddenly seeing the Coast Guard pull up next to you. When they told us, point-blank, “You shouldn’t be out here,” it hit me: this wasn’t just a fun adventure anymore. It was a rescue.

But it still took a while for me to realize - I was the one that needed rescuing.
