Toni and I have worked together since 2018 on her own fear of flying.
Toni is a travel blogger, author, amazing photographer, and administrator for one of the largest online travel groups, Award Travel 101. As Toni prepares to head out to Portugal next week, we’re going to hop on a Award Travel 101 interview in the Facebook group to talk about how she’s planning to “panic proof” herself from fear of flying both before the trip, and while she’s traveling.
Toni and I will also discuss how she didn’t prepare to review her own fear of flying plan this fall for a trip to go hiking in the Italian Dolomites and the lesson she learned about it being quite normal to reach out to a former therapist for a “tune-up”session. Toni can’t wait to share with you her journey, the tools she’s learned in therapy that are most helpful to her, and what she learned through her experience. We’ll both answer your questions! Join us live on FB this Thursday, March 24 at 7pm EST.

Episode 3 – Meet A Points and Miles Addict Who’s Afraid of Flying
“I was a few rows behind anyone with my kids and I just jumped up and ditched my kids and ran to the nearest person and sat down and said “Can I please hold your hand?! I’m just so afraid!”
Do you get nervous flying? Or, even worse, do you let that fear keep you from traveling? This week Richard chats with Toni Southam, a long time Award Travel 101 moderator and Paul Borish, a Licensed Counselor who specializes in helping those with a fear of flying. In the Award Travel 101 interview Paul and Toni offer some different ways to tackle this fear and other resources to help find what can work best for you. Tune in to hear Toni share what it’s like to be both a points and miles addict and afraid of flying.
