Whether you're in the Pro-Choice or the Pro-Life camp, we at Secret Life believe that everyone has the right to their own beliefs, but no one has the right to tell a woman what she can or can not do with her body.

Julie shares her honest and vulnerable story about her abortions, giving up her oldest son for adoption, and releasing the shame and guilt about those choices. On the road from addiction to recovery, we confront our past and take responsibility for our actions; Julie shares her journey and the freedom it's given her. 

*Trigger Warning: Please note that this episode contains topics of suicide, trauma, and abortion. Some people may find it disturbing.
