About this listen
It’s spooky season—and we’re diving face-first into the muddiest emotion of all: fear.
In this episode, Morgan and Chris explore why we intentionally scare ourselves, from childhood Bloody Mary dares to haunted houses and horror movies. But it's not just about jump scares—turns out, fear can actually be good for us.
We talk about:
- The difference between rational vs. irrational fears
- Why some fears (like garage doors or missing emails) live rent-free in our heads
- What science says about the emotional benefits of “safe danger”
- How scary experiences build resilience, mood, and connection
- Why shared fear can actually strengthen family bonds
Whether you're a thrill-seeker or a Halloween hider, this episode is a lighthearted look at how confronting fear—on purpose—might just help us live more fully in midlife.
