  • Amazing Podcast

    I cannot express my heartfelt thanks to Paul and his team for creating an amazing podcast. Lovefly has helped me start my journey in overcoming my fears around flying. This has meant opening door to travelling and seeing what the world has to offer without feeling ultimate dread, panic and heightened anxiety! The advice and guidance given, along with listening to other’s stories is helping me book a holiday, go on and plane and travel in a better state of mind!! For that I am truly grateful😊

  • Life changing

    Paul Tizzard, the Lovefly podcasts and Facebook community have changed my life! From someone who was petrified on a short flight to Europe I am now looking forward to two major trips in the next 12 months. One to Mauritius via Dubai to celebrate a special anniversary, and the other in 2025 to Sydney via Singapore to visit my sister for the first time since she moved there 12 years ago. I remember crying when she emigrated and telling her I’d never be able to fly to Australia. Thanks to Lovefly t... more

  • So helpful

    I have been scared of flying for the past 20 years. I’ve kept travelling but with serious anxiety leading up to trips that takes all the fun out of travel. I was dreading my longhaul flight to go home to visit family and found this podcast to see if I could make it better. All of the different stories, technical information and techniques to help overcome this fear on the podcasts is amazing. I’m (almost) excited to get on a plane, knowing what I know now. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 298 - Andrea and her 35 year battle with anxiety and trapped panic
Q: If you had some sort of final bit of wisdom or tips or just message of hope for people, knowing what you know, what things might you say?
Andrea advises that doing something repeatedly can make it easier. She says the powerful feeling of landing and seeing herself follow through is a reason to keep trying.
Ep. 298 - Andrea and her 35 year battle with anxiety and trapped panic
Q: So, take us from there to now. So, have you completely avoided flying?
Andrea says she flew occasionally after the panic attack, including trips to Melbourne, Adelaide, and Canberra, but long periods without flying repeatedly brought back anticipatory anxiety. She is now preparing for a trip to Europe after using Lovefly resources and structured practice.
Ep. 304 - Captain Rafael Mira (Private Jet Pilot)
Q: What was it about being a pilot that you thought, I want to do that? How did you know?
Mira says his father built and flew model aircraft, then took him to an Air Force Academy, where sitting in a cockpit made him feel certain that aviation was his calling.
Ep. 304 - Captain Rafael Mira (Private Jet Pilot)
Q: How would you say the safety is with Private Jets compared to commercial airlines?
Mira says private and commercial pilots train to demanding standards, including recurrent simulator and systems testing. Aircraft are designed and certified to handle engine failures and severe conditions, and pilots are trained to divert or land rather than take unnecessary risks.
Ep. 303 - Caressa Bray COO Aero Pathways
Q: So what made you, well, tell us about your Pathways, because that's your platform. Tell us how all that started and what it's about.
Aero Pathways began by helping Indian students navigate DGCA license-conversion paperwork, then expanded into mentoring, FAA learning resources, flight-planning and weight-and-balance tools, and career preparation.
