It has taken me a lot of strength, courage, and contemplation to share this part of my story with you, but with women’s healthcare increasingly under threat from the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, to each state now deciding its own abortion laws, and the ongoing efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, I cannot stay silent.
Being a woman, a holistic health coach, and having a platform, I feel a deep duty and responsibility to speak about abortion in a way that feels authentic and true for me.
To be an advocate for women’s rights,
a voice for the voiceless,
a mirror for those carrying their experience in silence,
for my own healing,
and to stay in integrity.
To stand in solidarity with my fellow sisters who have had abortions and feel deep shame and guilt because of the stigma that is cast on us as a life sentence by society and religion, that I know all too well.
For the women who will not have the autonomy or choice to decide what happens to their own bodies, their lives, or their futures.
For the women who will lose their lives because of these laws going into place…
I use my voice for you.
Because I am so grateful that I had the choice 11 years ago when I had my abortion.
For the healthcare workers who cared for me with no judgment,
for the support I received during that time,
for the lessons learned from my experience,
for the soul that volunteered to come down and teach me to choose myself, to choose my healing, to choose my now husband, to aid in my awakening, and to come home to self-love.
Without this experience, I would not be the woman I am today, and I know that deep in my bones.
So I share my story as an offering.
An offering to women and my fellow sisters who feel alone, who feel deep shame and guilt, holding their experience as a secret.
I see you.
I feel you.
And I stand with you.
This shame is not yours to carry and I pray you can find peace.
