Alma Leigh, a distinguished clinical psychotherapist and veteran, boasts an impressive multifaceted career. Born
in Alabama, Alma embarked on her journey at the age of 20 when she enlisted in the US Air Force. Her childhood
experiences weighed heavily on her, magnifying her struggle with severe depression and anxiety. To cope, she
turned to abusing alcohol, which further exacerbated her mental health challenges

In the wake of this crisis, Alma’s commander recognized the urgency of the situation and directed her to seek
psychotherapy and alcohol rehabilitation during her time on active duty. This pivotal intervention set the stage
for her transformative path towards healing and recovery.

Alma’s resilience and determination fueled her pursuit of higher education, culminating in a master’s degree from
the University of Southern California, where she honed her skills in clinical social work. Drawn to the power of
words, she became an author, penning two impactful books: “Flip! From Fear to Love” and “But Who’s Gonna
Wipe Your A**.” These works reflect her candid narrative and unwavering authenticity, tackling a myriad of
struggles her clients have faced and resonating with many.

In addition to her literary achievements, Alma became a celebrated host, steering the captivating podcast “From
Fear to Love with Alma Leigh.” Here, she shares her insights and experiences, offering solace and understanding
to those grappling with their own battles. Alma’s reach extends further through her creation of the virtual
POWERshop and the establishment of Leigh Bird Media, LLC.

Alma’s influence expanded even more during her time in Charleston, South Carolina, where she hosted “The Alma
Leigh Show,” a highly praised local talk show, for two years. With her extensive background in clinical social work
and a remarkable career in the Air Force, five and a half years on active duty and another eight years as a civil
servant, six of which she served as the Director of Psychological Health, Alma’s contributions are profound. Her
dedication to the field drives her to connect intimately with clients, drawing from her own battles with
depression and anxiety.
