Episode 576
Monday, 19 January, 2026

Pregnancy can be full of excitement—but also deep anxiety, fear, and trauma. In this episode, Hunter Clarke-Fields talks with Alexia Leachman, founder of Fearless Birthing and creator of the Head Trash Clearance method, about reproductive anxiety, tocophobia, and maternal mental health. You’ll learn: • What reproductive anxiety is and how it differs from general anxiety or tokophobia • How past trauma and emotional patterns affect pregnancy and motherhood • Practical steps for healing birth trauma and anxiety • The role of self-compassion and emotional clearance in long-term mental health • How community and support can empower women on their journey If pregnancy fears or maternal anxiety feel overwhelming, this episode provides research-backed insights, tools, and hope to move from fear to freedom.
