In this vulnerable episode, Alexis Frank shares her unfiltered experience navigating postpartum anxiety, death anxiety, and emotional trauma after the birth of her third child. As a mother, mental health advocate, and survivor of medical neglect, Alexis opens up about the raw, real, and often overlooked challenges women face after childbirth.

She discusses:

  • The terrifying anxiety that gripped her postpartum experience
  • The deep emotional toll of fearing death in the early days of motherhood
  • How her interactions with the American healthcare system invalidated her pain
  • The physical complications after birth that triggered emotional spirals
  • How healing began with acknowledging trauma, not minimizing it

Alexis invites listeners into a deeply personal story of survival, healing, and self-empowerment — encouraging other women to embrace their emotions and realize they are not alone.

If you've ever felt silenced, unseen, or overwhelmed in your motherhood or healing journey — this episode is for you.
