Summary
Flying makes me anxious. Not the mild kind. The walls-closing-in, I-need-control kind. Hi, I'm Lauren Howard . You can call me L2. Like other people do. And in this episode of "Different, Not Broken" I talk about what it was like flying with someone who supported me without making a thing of it. No fuss. No questions. No spotlight. Just quiet, steady presence. We get into why that kind of support works so well, especially for anxious and neurodivergent people, and why “are you okay?” is often the least helpful thing you can say.
