14 – Escaping a Sinking Car

<p>We asked and you answered: what’s the scariest situation you can think of? And wow… a resounding “ROCKETING OFF A BRIDGE AND SINKING INTO OBLIVION IN MY CAR” blasted through the anxious void.</p><p>This week Dana takes us on a deep dive (truly, we promise… pun not intended) into why sinking into a watery car grave is such a prominent and readily available fear, dream, and intrusive thought. Together we re-re-re-reframe our perspective, understand our subconscious, and decide who to blame for it all. The short answer: capitalism? Fascinating!</p><p>Once we understand the why behind this super common fear, we take a deep breath and learn what the heck to do if you find yourself sinking into Atlantis in your Toyota Corolla. Dana even gives us some tips for handy gadgets to keep in your vehicle to best prepare for this rather unlikely emergency. But if you take anything away from this episode, make sure it’s the reminder that quicksand is super outdated. </p><p>Like the show? Want more content?
