012 | It's Never Too Late to Make the Next Right Choice: A Mother-Daughter Conversation About Unplanned Pregnancy


Listen Later

Hi, friend!

What happens when you become pregnant at 20, are unmarried, and are terrified of telling your mother? In this deeply personal episode, I share my own story of unplanned pregnancy in college, introducing you to the beautiful outcome of that decision: my daughter, Amber.

This intimate mother-daughter conversation explores the fears, choices, and blessings that came from choosing life in less-than-ideal circumstances. I thought my deeply conservative mother would reject me. Instead, I received unconditional love and support. That grace changed everything—not just for me, but for the generations that followed.

In This Episode:

  • My vulnerable story: pregnant at a Christian university by a pastor's son
  • The fleeting moment I considered abortion and why I dismissed it
  • How hearing my baby's heartbeat at 12 weeks changed everything
  • The surprising response from my mother that made all the difference
  • Amber's perspective: growing up without much money but never feeling poor
  • Why "how you carry yourself" matters more than your circumstances
  • The cultural emphasis on instant gratification vs. deep fulfillment through family
  • Amber's own story: divorce, remarriage, and finding redemption
  • Why it's never too late to make the next right choice
  • Key Themes: Unplanned pregnancy stories, teen pregnancy support, choosing life over abortion, single mother encouragement, Christian parenting challenges, unconditional love, breaking generational patterns, second chances, God's redemption, overcoming shame, poverty and dignity, family fulfillment vs. cultural happiness

    Whether you're facing an unplanned pregnancy, supporting someone who is, or carrying regret from past choices, this honest conversation offers hope: your next choice can lead to something wonderful, even if previous choices feel defining. God specializes in second chances, and it's never too late to choose life—in every sense of the word.

    Content Note: This episode discusses unplanned pregnancy, brief consideration of abortion, and divorce with sensitivity and hope.

    May you witness God’s leading to the next right choice today, my friend.

    Always, Anna
