In this powerful and unapologetic episode of The Feisty Heroine Podcast, host Rachel Beck sits down with Abreya—a self-proclaimed “black sheep” from the Midwest who refuses to shrink herself to fit into anyone’s mold.

From being raised by a single mother in Des Moines to choosing permanent child-free living through a bilateral salpingectomy (just 10 days before Roe v. Wade was overturned), Abreya’s story is one of radical self-trust, defiance of societal norms, and unwavering personal freedom.

She opens up about what it means to be a woman who questions everything—marriage, motherhood, the “good girl” script—and why embracing her inner rebel has led to the most grounded version of herself yet.

Together, Rachel and Abreya explore:
✨ The loneliness and liberation of being the “black sheep”
✨ Why she chose permanent sterilization—and what that choice gave back to her
✨ Dating while child-free in a conservative culture
✨ Mental health, boundaries, and the power of solitude
✨ Creating a life rooted in purpose, not permission

If you've ever felt out of step with the world around you, this episode will remind you: you’re not broken—you’re building a life on your own damn terms.
