In the first episode of Heartbeats, Jennifer Pace, CEO of First Coast Women’s Services, sits down with Drena Gaydon, Analee Kluge, and Sarah Wong to confront a powerful and painful myth — that “abortion is the more compassionate choice if you’re not ready to parent.”

Each story is unique, but all share a common thread: the deep emotional and spiritual impact that follows abortion. Together, they reveal the truth behind the choice, the lasting effects that aren’t often talked about, and the hope that healing is possible.

This episode shines a light on the reality that abortion is not something you can simply “move on” from — and offers compassion, honesty, and restoration for anyone who has walked this road.

Episode 1 launches October 30, with new episodes released weekly.
