In this episode we dive into a fascinating conversation with Alexia Leachman, a pregnancy mindset expert and founder of Fearless Birthing. We discuss the profound effects of tocophobia (fear of childbirth) and how it can impact pregnancy and motherhood. Alexia shares her personal journey overcoming her own childbirth fears and introduces her 'Head Trash Clearance' method designed to help women address and clear their fears around pregnancy, birth and motherhood. We highlight the importance of mental and emotional preparation for childbirth and its impact on both mother and child. Additionally, we talk about how controlling fears can set the foundation for a positive birthing experience—shifting perspectives from anxiety to empowerment. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tools for expecting mothers aiming to have fearless childbirth experiences and for all mothers who want to conquer their fears, anxieties and stresses, in order to find more calmness in their lives. Stay Fearless!
