When the topic of abortion comes up, conversations often focus on two extremes: “choice” versus “life.” But rarely do we talk about the women who have walked through pregnancy termination for medical reasons—the mothers who faced devastating diagnoses, impossible odds, and heartbreaking choices.

If that’s your story, you may feel like your pain has been used as a debate talking point rather than seen for what it really is: grief, loss, and deep confusion about where to go from here.

In today’s episode, I want to speak directly to you. We’ll unpack:

Why guilt often lingers—even if you felt it was the “best” decision.

How grief shows up after termination, no matter the circumstances.

What Scripture says about God’s forgiveness, and why His grace does extend to you too.

Whether you’ve buried this part of your story or you’re actively wrestling with it, I pray you’ll leave this episode knowing that God sees you, He cares for you, and His mercy is still for you.

Do you have shelves full of self-help books but still feel stuck in guilt and shame? You’re not alone. For years, I turned to personal development strategies, thinking they would fix the deep wounds in my heart after my abortion. While some of those books held great wisdom, they could never heal the part of me that only God could touch.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I shifted from chasing self-help to leaning on Scripture—and the three powerful Bible verses that finally brought me lasting peace and freedom. If you’ve tried everything the world offers but still feel broken, this episode will show you a better way forward.

You’ll learn:

Why self-help can leave you feeling empty instead of whole

How Scripture provides true healing that hustle never will

Three Bible verses that anchor you in God’s forgiveness and grace

Did you know that guilt can actually lead to depression? While depression can have many causes, guilt is often overlooked—especially for women who have experienced abortion.

In this episode, I’m opening up about one of the darkest seasons in my life when guilt spiraled into depression. I’ll share how guilt connects to shame, isolation, anxiety, and ultimately depression—and how you can recognize these patterns in your own life.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle. God offers healing, forgiveness, and freedom, even from the heavy weight of guilt after abortion.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

How guilt can become shame—and why shame keeps you isolated

Why guilt and isolation feed depression after abortion

Do you feel sad when you think about your past abortion, and you’re unsure why? Maybe you thought you were certain about your choice at the time, but now you’re left feeling lost, heavy, or even guilty—and you don’t understand why.

What you might be experiencing is grief after abortion. And friend, it’s very real.

In this episode, I give an overview of my own story of unexpectedly finding journal entries that revealed I was grieving far more than I realized.

I’ll walk you through:

Why grief after abortion is normal—even though you may not feel “allowed” to grieve.

What this grief actually looks like (and why it often goes unrecognized).

The hope and freedom God offers when you bring your grief to Him.

If you’ve been carrying unspoken sadness, regret, or questions about your abortion, this episode will help you name what you’re going through and remind you that God’s heart is for your healing.
