The Conversation

Tik-Tokophobia

Two women. One fear. Zero judgement.

Co-hosted by Alexia and JJ, Tik-Tokophobia dives deep into tokophobia – the fear of pregnancy and childbirth – with honesty, warmth, and the occasional laugh. It's the conversation you wish you could have with a friend who actually gets it.

Lighter in tone but never light on substance. If you want to understand tokophobia from every angle – what it feels like, where it comes from, and what you can do about it – start here.
