Oh, hello again, it's still your dog still hiding under the couch because I ate from the garbage. Oh,

valleyward. Why? Okay, we're back for part two of Fearology folks. How bananas was the first episode?

Did you love it? I have heard from so many of you since this first aired in April 2018 that

this is life-changing and it is for me too. I think about this episode all the time. So we're back

her. Okay, so let's get back into it. We learned last week that Fearology, it's a real word and that

stress is just another sneaky word for fear, which blew my mind and that fear is not helpful unless

it's factual and you need your muscles tense to outrun like an angry animal and that a lot of our

fictional fears stem just from being not good enough and being out of control. Ah, okay, so this

week we'll find out how super successful people approach fear, Mary's scariest hour of her life

and what she learned, plus all of your questions about everything from night terrors to self-spookery

to shark's bad PR image to how likely is it that a snake bites your butt and the best things about
