Episode notes

Our body has created a system to essentially paralyze us so we don't act out our dreams. Dane goding wants to know, does your body have the same chemical and am autonomic reactions to fear when you're asleep and having a nightmare? Jeska: The fear an stress response systems is the same all the time. Owing we come bo, we're asleep. So it doesn't always work, but that's usually why we wake up and we haven't like, pummelled our bed partner. But we're all like sweaty and out of breathah, that's so nuts. Let me know how it goes.

FEAR. Anxiety. Stress. Dread. It's all the same dang thing, as it turns out. Biologist and fear expert Mary Poffenroth is back to answer your questions in Part 2 of the encore presentation that's been one of the most helpful interviews of ol' Alie Ward's life. Learn how super successful people approach fear, Mary’s scariest hour, plus answers to all of your questions about night terrors, self-spookery, sharks' bad PR image to how likely it is that a snake will bite your butt. Plus: the best thing about following your passions in life. If this episode helped you at all, consider telling friends about it so we can all get over being chicken sh*ts and, as Mary would say "die with great stories."
