On this episode we speak to Nina who has 3 birth stories at 3 different clinics for us to listen to and compare.  At each birth she felt more and more empowered and although the journey was never 'perfect' and postpartum recoveries were hard with her husband having no paternity leave, there was always a positive outcome. She talks about navigating cultural differences, advocating and negotiating for certain birth practices and also coming to peace with birth preferences that she was denied.

It invites you to challenge your belief systems, feel your emotions, visualise your existence, and lean into acceptance, hence guiding you towards a more profound, empathetic, and empowered self.

Sometimes you develop pain in your body for no obvious reason. However, if you look a little closer and tune into 'your self' there may well be a memory or current situation in your life where its impact is literally physically hurting you. This is your body's way of trying to tell you something is wrong and needs to be changed or released. The mind-body connection is so powerful because it is not necessarily a conscious process. Instead, our subconscious is filing away experiences and then they bubble up in your life in a completely disconnected way. This can inhibit you from doing important things in your life, but it can also show up physically as pain. On this Podcast Alexia Leachman and myself discuss this connection, and how you can access your Head Trash to release pain. We delve into the complexity of how something that could have happened when you were a child, could still be running you today. We also look at how back pain can manifest due to needing to give too much support or not being supported enough. Or how shoulder pain can show up when you are literally shouldering too much responsibility. It can be helpful to become curious and consider whether any health challenge you may be dealing with, has a voice that wants you to listen.......

Are you Future Tripping? If so Im going to share what you can do about it. So in this episode, I'm talking about future tripping. I don't know if you've heard of it before, but it's a term that I came across recently. And it is exactly what it says on the tin. Catostrophising I have in my past due to emotional triggers and situations been one to catastrophize not catastrophize everything. but things regarding health of other people, not my own health, but the health of others. And this became a real issue in relationships that I formed. And certainly when I had children. My mind could go to scary places with this. And one of the things that "helped" me in this or I thought was helping me in this was a need for order and control. And this was one of my coping mechanisms, but this in itself actually became an additional anxiety. And future tripping is the same. Now, this isn't something I experience, particularly anymore. I have normal anxieties that you would expect. And I am able to notice when I start, or when I'm in a process of going down this particular line, but it's key in many people, but particularly those who experience anxiety generally. And it's also referred to as anticipatory anxiety. And all of us do this to some degree or another. It's part of the human condition of peering into the future and anticipating the outcome. Now, it isn't always a negative outcome , future tripping can be positive, and it is something that we use in a lot of mind coaching tools, not so much tripping, but seeing a future and seeing ourselves in a different future. Peering into the Future When peering into the future and anticipating the outcome isn't always negative, because our wondrous human brain gives us the ability to do either. And for a person experiencing anxiety either generally or over something specific, such as fertility, it is not always easy to see the positive. So in the work that I do within my fertility coaching, and with the clients there, we look at this area if it's relevant, and sometimes it might be that we delve in, and we travel upstream, and we find the initial event that cause this need for vigilance, a fear of the future a non positive outlook and we can address it. Sometimes we don't need to find it, and we can use strategies to cope with it and perhaps change our outlook. Whats happening in the Brain? But before we look at this, you need to understand what's going on in the brain. And this is really key to me because you have to understand what's happening. You have to understand how your fertility works, you have to understand how your body works to be able to look at addressing change. So let's have a look at what's going on in the brain. How the intrinsic design of us as humans, well as mammals, in the first instance, can't adapt to the evolution of the human brain. The whole premise of the fertility rewire programme that I have developed is to indeed rewire it, rewire the fertility system, and rewire the emotional responses to today's world, and our humaneness. So a basic intrinsic design, which will win out in any situation is the need for safety. And so enter stage left our star player, the sympathetic nervous system. Its counter its other half , its working opposite is the parasympathetic nervous system. So this is the autonomic nervous system and it has these two states, the sympathetic nervous system is fight or flight and the parasympathetic nervous system is rest and digest. We sit in rest and digest until we are faced with a crisis we are faced with a life endangering situation. That is the design. So when fight or flight is at play, and I've discussed this before, in terms of coming face to face with a tiger back in our ancestral day, we need to fight or run like hell to safety. And we're designed to deal with this acute stress. It keeps us alive and we learn from it. Same as if you touched a wood burner and burned your hands. You wouldn't do that again. Its tthe same with emotional pain. We learn from it and often what happens is we then learn to avoid. But when this is regular throughout the day, repeatedly or constant, your body thinks that you are surrounded by actual tigers. Because it doesn't know the difference your brain doesn't know the difference between what's real or imagined, you respond to emotions, which have come from thoughts and those thoughts have come from beliefs. And that belief is is triggered in the situation. The situation itself is backed, that is fact and cannot be denied. But the situation you are in leads to a thought often from a belief to an emotion and then there's a response. So what's happening is at this point, your body is also shutting down non essential systems when in fight or flight. A bit like we're experiencing now to be honest with our crisis management of the corona virus. non essential is a time used a lot. These systems that are being shut down or turned down are immunity, digestion and fertility. These are some of the big players. Also within that is, is the whole heap of hormonal interactions, the thyroid, the pancreas and its effects on insulin, the adrenals are at play and they need all of your attention. Because of course, none of these systems matter if the tiger gets you. But as soon as the tiger passes as soon as the danger passes, your systems return to normal. So you probably need to get out of that Tiger pit right now. So how do we do it? Well, key player is the wondrous human brain, the part of the brain that makes us human the frontal cortex known for its logic and reason. It is not in play, when we are in fight or flight. There is no time for decision making. It's instinctive, it's primal. It's hardwired you can't make rational decisions in a state of anxiety. So what is key in this state are number of things and ways that we can work through and support ourselves. When we step into future tripping. The first one I want to talk about is being present. Now, it's not always possible to be present in the moment of anxiety, but with regular practice at being present in non emotionally charged times, we are able to develop this skill and utilise it. One of the things that the Mindfully Fertile part of my programme brings is the ability to be able to notice thoughts. You are aware of your tigers, and this leads you to noticing your thoughts WHEN you are in the anxious moments. You are not always looking for your Tigers but you are able to respond and react accordingly. And sometimes that means letting them sleep. And sometimes that means being with them. And what this enables you to do is to get to the place where you can distance your thoughts, your tigers. So when I say distance, I don't mean remove them, but in saying here is the thought that, here is the thought that I won't get pregnant. Here is the thought that I won't ovulate. In that moment you are acknowledging a thought. Not the real danger your brain perceived. So here is the thought that….. you distance it once I notice I am thinking the thought that……… you distance even further and this is what we call acceptance. I always say bear with me, don't I? So acceptance is not a sense of giving up accepting, there's nothing you can do accepting that you just have to put up with this. It's a sense of accepting that this is what is happening. This is what you are thinking in this moment, and when we see these as thoughts, we diffuse their power, we dilute it basically. Naming your thoughts So something else is to name the thoughts. So back in my castrophising days, I was able to recognise it starting. And I would say, Oh, Hello, Miss catastrophe. But I think I've got this, nice to see you here, to be honest, not out loud.     And it's something that I use with my son. He was about six and he went through I think I've talked about this before a hand washing phase. Which came with some anxiety. And he had Mr. Wash your hands say he would say, Oh, Hello, Mr. Wash your hands. No, I'm okay, this is all good. This recognition and externalisation is really powerful, but you often can't just start it straight away. You have to practice being present and recognising this in that non emotionally charged situations, which is why it's really important to stick to a practice of being present. Just you know, regularly. So I've been treated. I'm doing big sharing today I've been treated on and off in the past for clinical depression. And one of the key areas that this has really supported me was in being able to recognise the feelings of depression or to be honest, the feelings of sadness or lethargy, which in fairness to anyone who has never been diagnosed with depression or has been taking medication, that's hat's how they might see it. They might see it as a sense of sadness of lethargy, or perhaps an understanding that this will pass. But for many if you have been diagnosed and treated before, you go down this spiral of, Oh, no, no, this is depression. Here it is again. And this is future tripping in full swing. You don't know that that's what happening, but you've recognised it. It's your wood burner, you've touched it, you've burned and here it is, again, and a really, really good book for this, there are lots of books around about mindfulness and the deep intricacies of it all, but 'how to be human" by Ruby Wax and a neuroscientist whose name escapes me and a Buddhist monk is a really, really good book and I particularly liked it on Audible, but she talks about, through her depression to be able to recognise it and let it Sit with her. And this is a practice that I've worked a lot on and as I do with my clients. Through practices around the cognitive process, I said earlier the situation the thought, the emotion, the behaviour or result, awareness of thoughts and being present, I am able to say, "Oh, hello depression, take a seat, sit with me. I'm just going to watch the TV today". Do you see how acceptance is not giving in? but accepting that this is how it is right now. Right now in this moment, and I do have a choice. So in effect, inviting your Tiger to tea. The Tiger who came to tea is one of my favourite children's books, by the way, but perhaps you are taming your Tiger letting it sleep, not tiptoeing around it or in fear of waking it, but trusting that you have this. They're just there. You've invited them there. They're under your request. So being present is one thing. And then being aware of thoughts is another. Another is to seek help. If your car breaks down, what do you do? Do you ask for help immediately? Do you get out and have a look at it? Kick it around, maybe you try to fix it, maybe you try to do something beyond your limitations and beyond your control, or do you worry about what it might be or if it's this that's going to cost money, and then what impact will that have and I'm going to be late and this is going to happen, or do you seek the help of a prefessional iommediately? I am not always a wise sage, personally, I just have to say that but I do tell my children and often when saying to someone else, it's a self reminder. Because we are really good at recognising things in other people and giving advice because we're set in that calm, rational state because it is not happening to us. So what I say to My children is, if you worry about it, you might have to go through it more than once. If you worry about it every day, you're definitely going through it more than once. If you don't worry about it and see what happens, you might not have to go through it at all. So it's a bit like giving someone else advice, isn't it? And what I'm trying to say is that you can turn that on yourself. You can get yourself in that calm situation. And you can give advice and you know why? Because when it's someone else, your brain of logic and reason steps in, it's not emotionally charged. So I'll give you another example. I said about the car earlier, obviously with all that worry about the car breaking down, at what point do you call someone else for help? And are you still worrying about the future or do we wait and see what they have to say? Difficult to say? Unless you're in the situation. Here's another driving example. If you're driving a car, and someone cuts you up, or a big one for me is you let them through and they don't say thank you. You might react. You might react quite angrily, depending on who's in the car with you, but it stirs an emotion. It triggers something. It really triggers something that often goes deep deep back, But if you're the passenger, so I'm thinking about me sitting next to my husband when he's driving. And, and I've spoken about this on the podcast with Alexia Leachman, actually about my trigger. If you're the passenger and the driver gets cross, you may have some sage and rational advice. And here's the thing because you didn't step into fight or flight you didn't step into the sympathetic nervous system. It didn't affect you emotionally directly. It didn't trigger something in you. You stayed in rest and digest and Oh Hello rational thinking! This is another coaching tool that I use and you can selfcoach with this , one element is asking for help. There's a lot of self coaching you can do with this. When you write down your thoughts and emotions, read them through. And imagine a dear friend or relative is telling you this. In your sense of calm and reflection, your rational mind your solution focused mind can give some great advice. We then explore what prevents you. What prevents you from taking this advice. We explore your current your Won't your shoulds and your should not. Planning comes into this but rational planning which as I said earlier, requires the wondrous human part of the brain, who can't step in until all is calm. So when you're faced with your tiger, it is not the time to sit down and make a plan. It's why crisis management requires crisis planning. It's why we have fire drills. So we know what to do in an emergency. Practice can put something in place as a system as a system we turn to it's something that we just instinctively then know what to do. Your brain says, Oh, yeah, we've done this before. This is when we file out, it's very different filing out of a building with a fire alarm for a test and a building that you think might be on fire. But that familiarity allows you to do it while you're in that emotional response. So This is Future Tripping, how to avoid it, or to recognise it and step in and be present. But as I said, You We'll need learning to do that. Recognise your thoughts, write them down, revisit them as a friend and ask for help. Do you experience future tripping? Has this made sense to you? Is it something that is at play often in your life and it might be a significant emotional trigger? Is it something that really has come to the fore with fertility, which might be triggering a past emotional response? It might be. But as all these podcasts and all the information I give to people, this isn't just about fertility. This is about your health. And you cannot separate your physical and emotional health and you can see how with the brain this all inter plays and plays with each other. If you want any more information about what I've discussed, fertility related or not, or you want to know more about fertility coaching, the mindfully fertile programme, or anything else fertility related or otherwise, just drop me a line, or arrange a FREE chat.

Such a great pleasure to chat with Alexia Leachman about the emotional aspects in Fertility, relationships and life itself which may impact Fertility. As I've discussed many times, the intrinsic fertility design of the body can only work effectively if you feel safe.  The negative emotions that we experience feed into a fight or flight response and therefore can reduce or even halt fertility until the danger perceived is passed. Alexia specialises in helping people to overcome their fears and achieve what’s on the other side, whether that’s a great business, life or having a calm, fear-free birth. At the heart of her work is a new emotional clearance technique that she’s simplified so that creating head space is something we can all do whenever and wherever we want.

How finding your niche can build a profitable business - Alexia Leachman Alexia Leachman's journey from the corporate world to a business owner is a brilliant example of how many times business owners often pivot, change and evolve their business before they find something that is a true passion for them. It also highlights how a small niche can have a large market of customers who are desperate for your services. Alexia started out in marketing in a corporate environment and left to set up a business as a personal brand expert, her journey continued as she became a coach and mindset mentor, helping business owners overcome obstacles and mental barriers related to developing their personal brand.  Alexia has an awesome appetite for learning and helping others, this led her to a new area of business. Her business evolved and has now niched into an area which was directly influenced by overcoming her own personal fear of childbirth. Alexia used the tools she had learnt and devised a method to overcome her own Tokophobia (the fear of giving birth) During maternity leave with her second child she started to talk about overcoming her fears and it became obvious that there were hundreds of women experiencing the same thing. After answering numerous emails helping others to overcome their fears (using the methods she had practised herself) and whilst still on maternity leave, Alexia decided to write a book called ‘Fearless Birthing' and started to record a Podcast – Fear Free Childbirth. Interest in demand in Alexia's work escalated and over a short space of time, she put her branding business on hold to concentrate on fulfilling the needs of the hundreds of people looking to her for help.  Alexia talks about How she built her business based on demand and listened to what her audience wanted How purposefully building a business is allowing her to move to France Starting a petition to stop the ‘scaremongering' often seen on TV programs such as One Born Every Minute   How she got featured in the press and recognised within the birthing sector How Facebook didn't come first when marketing her business How she used her Podcast as the main driver - to tell the stories of women with a fear a childbirth How sharing her own stories and the stories of others attracted more clients More about Alexia A therapeutic coach, an author and the host of the award-nominated Fear Free Childbirth podcast.  Alexia overcame her extreme fears to have two fear-free home births and she now helps women to overcome their fears so that they approach their birth with confidence. Alexia has helped thousands of women worldwide to shed the fear and claim their positive birth experience through her private sessions, her online programmes and products, and of course her podcast.  She is the author of Fearless Birthing and Clear Your Head Trash. Alexia appears regularly in the press, TV, radio and online including the BBC, SKY and ABC and has been featured in Huff Post, Mail Online, Psychologies, Red, Easy Living and Mother & Baby magazines.  Fear Free Childbirth podcast The Fear Free Childbirth is an award-nominated podcast to help pregnant mamas prepare for a positive, fear-free childbirth experience. It's a mix of positive birth stories, birth experts sharing their wisdom and Alexia sharing advice on mindset and tackling fears.    Links Website   http://www.fearfreechildbirth.com/     www.clearyourheadtrash.com Facebook                            https://www.facebook.com/fearfreechildbirth/  Twitter  https://twitter.com/AlexiaL                                                https://twitter.com/afearlessbirth  Instagram                           https://www.instagram.com/fearfreechildbirth/    If you enjoyed listening it would be great if you could leave a review to help other people find us - Thank you   Also ...

This episode features serial entrepreneur, author, podcaster and general "good gal" Alexia Leachman.Alexia and I go on a journey through Alexia's own career, and then end up in a personal branding / business masterclass.

We then go on to discuss how any entrepreneurial journey starts by identifying your skills, passions and beliefs, and then finding a group of people who you can help – and this could be from anywhere!

Alexia Leachman of The Fear Free Childbirth Podcast lost her mom at 30. This loss sent her on a massive personal journey, where she ended up learning the tools and techniques that helped address her fears around becoming a mom herself. She's since been on a mission to help other women unlock their fears of pregnancy and childbirth. We'll touch on the reality of "being a mom without a mom." Also on the show, a listener wants to know the most common challenge in overcoming grief, and I talk about how grief is like an involuntary scavenger hunt.

“Once you’ve done a couple of podcasts it’s really easy to launch a new one”. Stepping into the Podcast Diva spotlight today is Alexia Leachman. Alexia is a personal branding and reputation management consultant, coach, writer, consultant, speaker, head trash clearer, mojo hunter, stress-free pregnancy and pain-free childbirth expert and of course – Podcast Diva. With three podcasts under her belt so far, including two award nominated shows, episode 7 is stuffed full of great stories and tips straight from Alexia’s experience of the why, how and what to podcast. “Blogging takes too long!” In episode 7 of Podcast Divas you find out: What a mojo hunter is Why Alexia’s embarrassed by her first podcast The advantage of show notes as blogs posts How to get people from your blog posts to your podcast How Alexia went from podcast #1 ‘Mojo’ to podcast #2 the ‘Head Trash’ show in 5 days Some stuff about success in New and Noteworthy How to use a podcast to increase your email list How podcasting doubled Alexia’s email list and keeps growing The joy of amazing stats What happens when you put a show on hold for 9 months The PR-ability of being in New and Noteworthy Why podcast #3 – the Fear-free Childbirth How a podcast from Nottingham UK ended up in Las Vegas, USA How Alexia went from fearful to a fear-free painless birth Email series to book Why two weekly podcasts is too much How to be realistic about what you can do The benefits of editing your own show The pros and cons of outsourcing How to do a complete podcast episode in two and a half hours Why interviews are a longer process Why podcasting is a personal branding win-win The allure of podcast players in cars Retro-fitting your intros and outros “I did it so badly and so wrong (my first podcast) I realised I should be on iTunes rather than just posting on my own site.” Key Tips for Podcasters Make your show notes a standalone blog post rather than a transcript. Use your intro and outro to drive sign-ups to an opt-in or email list. Use your first few weeks in New and Noteworthy to cash in on your PR-ability and ask for sponsorship. Launch 5 episodes all at once to start with. Don’t be afraid to take a break from your podcast schedule. Create images for Instagram and Pinterest in Canva and overlay them with quotes from episodes of your shows to publish on social media. Use Wordswag for the phone and iPad to create images and quotes. Retro-fit your intros if you get a new lead magnet. #1 tip for Divas-in-waiting Just start – maybe your first few episodes will be terrible but it just doesn’t matter – just get it out there and before long you’ll be amazing at it. “It’s not about me, it’s about the value it brings to others. So if I’ve got a little bit of an issue about how my voice sounds, I’ve just got to get over it.” Apps, plug-ins and hosting Bluberry plug-in (for great stats) Libsyn for podcast hosting (and great stats!)

What do you call the negative thoughts, feelings and emotions that clog up your mind and get in the way of you living your best life? In today’s episode of the Changeability Podcast we are delighted to be joined by a guest who calls them our ‘Head Trash’. The last few episodes of the Changeability Podcast have been about how to discover your negative limiting thoughts and self-beliefs – and last week (in episode 15) we explored a way of examining and releasing them. Today we look at it from a different angle with an expert with her own take on the subject and how to do it. Alexia Leachman joins us to talk about head trash - what it is and how you can clear your head trash. Alexia is the founder of Head Trash and host of the chart topping The Head Trash Show podcast. We were also honoured to have our youngest ever guest making her first podcast appearance. If you listen carefully you might hear some cute baby noises in the background from Alexia’s new daughter Sofia. In episode 15 you’ll find out about: What your head trash is What happens when you clear your head trash and why you want to do it How a personal disaster and the unravelling of her life led Alexia to her head trash A five-step system to clear your head trash How this will help you in your work, business and life   “Be the change you want to see in the world”  "Start with the man in the mirror."

When Alexia was 30, her mother suddenly died of cancer, and her life spun out of control.  She had focused her own life choices around what was best for her mother, and with her mother gone, she lost her center.  She fell down a dark hole and had no idea how to get out.   She tried many different practices, looking for the ones that were most effective for her.  Some helped a little.  Others were major turning points for her.  She didn't have any plan or guidance. She followed her intuition and just kept trying different practices until she found what worked best for her.   Alexia shares deeply about one of the most significant breakthroughs for her, Head Trash Clearing, a method she created based on Reflective Repatterning.  She describes what it's like to do, how it helps her, and how she uses it in her day to day life.  She gives some startling examples of the results she's had with the technique, and why she started a company to share this work with the world.   Alexia admits that she tried many practices that didn't provide much benefit for her, but she continues to explore and practice, always inspired to find a new, more efficient way to help her live a happier, more fulfilled life.

Richard and Dr Mark welcome special guest and founder of headtrash.co.uk Alexia Leachman onto this week’s show. Alexia talks about how you can reduce the amount of head trash you have in your brain. Alexia was a former sales and marketing expert but moved on from that into setting up her own business as she was very interested in mindset and helping people clear their brains to improve their life. Alexia’s work involves using mindset techniques including mental re-patterning, energy psychology, thought field therapy, emotional freedom and much more on her clients and she talks about how she utilises these techniques to clear their minds which has a major impact on their life and gets them back to their best. All of these techniques work when you feel constantly stressed or suffer from feeling such as grief and things like that. Alexia tells us about the five step process of clearing the stress that you feel plus shares more information on her fantastic business.  Show Notes You can get a free download of the five step process on the home page of Alexia’s website www.headtrash.co.uk there is also a very interesting podcast on there.
