Have you ever wondered how God can redeem even the most painful parts of your story? In this episode, I sit down with Veronica Cornejo, a ministry leader, author, and mom, who opens up about her powerful journey of finding Jesus as a teen mom, walking through the pain of abortion, and stepping into a life of freedom and ministry.

Veronica shares how God pursued her even when she wasn’t following Him, leading her to serve at Elevation Church as a project manager for eGroups teams and as a couples mentorship facilitator. She talks about the role of community, transparency, and faith in her healing journey—and how writing her book, Unshackled, brought not only healing for her but breakthrough for others as well.

If you’ve struggled with shame, secrecy, or the weight of past decisions, this conversation will encourage you to see that freedom is possible, healing is available, and your story can help set others free.

The role of community and mentorship in making life-giving decisions

Do you struggle to sleep at night because the memories of your abortion replay in your mind over and over again? Maybe the quiet of the night makes it even harder—flashbacks, guilt, and fear rise up, and you just can’t turn your thoughts off.

Friend, I’ve been there too. In this episode, I’m opening up about a recent experience where I couldn’t sleep after witnessing something traumatic—and how God reminded me that His Word is the very thing that can calm our minds when we feel overwhelmed.

If you find yourself haunted by your past abortion in the middle of the night, my prayer is that these verses will give you comfort, peace, and hope. You don’t have to stay stuck in the cycle of replaying the pain—you can lay it at the feet of Jesus and rest in His promises.

Inside this episode you’ll discover:

Why trauma often feels worse at night when it’s quiet.

How my own sleepless nights after a recent tragedy reminded me of abortion-related trauma.

4 powerful Scriptures to cling to when you can’t turn off the replay in your mind.

A reminder that peace doesn’t come from “saying a verse” but from daily surrender and trust in God’s healing power.

Whether you’ve been walking with this pain for years or you’re just beginning your healing journey, I believe God’s Word can meet you in the middle of those sleepless nights.

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.

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

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.

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.
