Update: 2025-10-30
Description
Why do we pay to be scared? Natasha Bailey unpacks why fear fascinates us — from haunted houses to horror films — and what it teaches about control, anxiety, and resilience. She explains how simulated fear offers a safe space to test boundaries, manage uncertainty, and even build confidence. The conversation reveals how people who struggle with anxiety experience fear differently and why moments of surrender, like quitting a job without a plan, mirror the emotional lessons found in spooky thrills. Discover how fear isn’t just a reaction — it’s a tool for growth and self-understanding.
