In this bold, honest first episode, hosts Alexia Leachman\u2014a specialist who has healed her own tokophobia\u2014and JJ, who lived with tokophobia unknowingly for nearly seventy years, crack open the hidden world of reproductive anxiety. Together, they expose how this pathological fear of pregnancy and birth can silently shape lives, relationships, and mental health, often without anyone realising. Drawing from their own journeys and years of working with women facing these fears, Alexia and JJ reframe tokophobia as a profound anxiety disorder that deserves far more attention than it gets. This isn\u2019t just for those planning families: if you\u2019ve ever felt tense, trapped, or overwhelmed by the very idea of pregnancy\u2014or seen those echoes elsewhere in your life\u2014this episode is for you.
