Episode 10: The Jello Theory: Why Planes Don’t Fall from the Sky (Fear of Flying Podcast)

Ever stare out the window at 35,000 feet and think, “How is this thing staying up?” You’re not alone—and you’re not silly for asking.

In this episode, Hope explains the Jello Theory: a comforting, science-based metaphor that reveals why airplanes don’t “float” in empty space—they’re actually supported by the dense, structured atmosphere around them. You’ll learn how lift works, why air isn’t empty, how wings are designed to create upward force, and why turbulence doesn’t mean danger.

If you’ve ever imagined planes “hovering” over a vast abyss, this reframe will change everything.

🔧 Backed by aviation physics—no fluff, no myths.
✈️ Designed for anxious flyers who need truth and peace.
🛬 Includes practical ways to calm your thoughts mid-flight.
