Have you ever grieved a baby that no one else even knew existed? If you've been carrying that ache alone, friend, you're not alone. So many women who've had an abortion are walking around with a grief they've never been taught how to name, let alone how to process — and it can feel impossible when the people around you have no idea your baby is even in heaven. In this episode, we're going back to the basics of post-abortion grief. Society hands us plenty of scripts for other kinds of loss, but no one ever taught us how to mourn a baby lost to abortion — so most of us just... didn't. We buried it instead. I'm sharing a piece of my own story of realizing I had a baby waiting for me in heaven and having absolutely no idea how to grieve him, because for years, I didn't either. We'll walk through three simple but powerful steps to finally begin mourning your baby. I'll share the what, why, and how behind each one so you can actually start walking this out, not just think about it.   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

Did you know the shame you buried after your abortion could be showing up in your body as fatigue, autoimmune flares, or anxiety you can't explain? If you've been chasing physical healing without ever touching the shame underneath it, friend, you're not alone. This week I'm joined by Dr. Tanya Paynter, a naturopathic doctor whose own crisis of faith led her into Christian apologetics and into some eye-opening research on how our relationship with God shapes our physical health. We talk about the real, physical toll that unresolved guilt and shame can take on the body, and why healing has to start somewhere deeper than a supplement or a symptom list. Tanya shares a story from her practice that will completely shift how you think about the connection between your past and your present-day health, and a piece of her own healing journey that took years to walk out. We walk through the foundation Tanya recommends for anyone carrying trauma in their body: where to start with God first, what comes next for your mind and emotions, and why you were never meant to heal alone. You're going to love this conversation!    Connect with Dr. Tanya Paynter:  Podcast - The Christian Clinician Free Guide - Why Hasn't God Healed Me Yet?

Do you feel ready (like really ready) to finally be free, but you're not sure what "the work" actually looks like? Friend, you are not alone, and you don't have to figure this out on your own. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact guided roadmap I use to walk women from shame straight into real, lasting peace. If you've ever felt hesitant to say yes to healing because you didn't know what you were signing up for, this one's for you. I'll take you back to when I started my own healing program and how terrifying it felt to commit to something with no idea what was on the other side. That fear is exactly why I built this roadmap the way I did: so no one has to walk in blind. Grab a notebook — you'll want to take notes!   🚨 Ready to begin real healing after abortion?

Do you ever look around your church pew and think, "I must be the only one who's done this"? If you've ever felt like the only woman in the room carrying this secret, you're not alone — and today I'm going to prove it with numbers, not just words. I still remember living on my small college campus, convinced I was the only person there who had ever had an abortion. That belief kept me isolated for years. So in this episode, we're breaking down three eye-opening statistics that show just how common this experience really is — and why the silence in the church is so much bigger than any one woman's story. Get ready to feel less alone, my friend.    ✨ Join us for the Abortion Recovery Workshop on 9/9 at 7pm CT This free live workshop is where we go even deeper into healing after abortion — come with your questions and leave with real next steps. 👉 https://brittanypoppe.com/workshop   ✨ Support the Podcast Do you love our content and want to support our ministry?

Have you ever been sitting in church, minding your own business, when your pastor says one sentence and suddenly you're drowning in guilt and shame? If a sermon has ever knocked the wind out of you and sent you spiraling for the rest of the day — or even into the next week — you're not alone. This week, we're talking about what to do when Sunday's sermon triggers your post-abortion grief, so you can keep moving forward in your healing instead of backsliding into shame. I get vulnerable about a time I sat in church feeling completely ashamed — even though abortion was never mentioned — and what that moment taught me about the difference between conviction and being triggered. We'll walk through two questions to ask yourself the next time this happens, and I'll teach you how to tell the difference between godly conviction and an old wound being triggered — plus how to move forward biblically instead of taking steps backward. Get ready, because this one will change how you sit in church.   ✨ Join us for the Abortion Recovery Workshop on 9/9 at 7pm CT This free live workshop is where we go even deeper into healing after abortion — come with your questions and leave with real next steps. 👉 https://brittanypoppe.com/workshop   ✨ Support the Podcast Do you love our content and want to support our ministry?

Have you ever grieved a life you thought you'd have? If you've ever had to let go of a plan, a dream, or a version of your future you were counting on — you're not alone. This week, I sat down with Nicole, author of The Butterfly Chronicles and host of the Conservative and Chic podcast, to talk about what it looks like to trust God when life doesn't go the way you expected. Nicole was diagnosed with Turner syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, as a child — and it shaped nearly every part of her life, from her health to her education to the family she once imagined she'd have. Nicole opens up about the hospital visits, the hard questions she asked God as a kid, and the moment at 15 years old when she first found the courage to speak publicly about her diagnosis. She also shares how losing her mother — and the promise she made to her — became the spark behind writing her book. We talk about what it means to grieve the life you thought you'd have, how Nicole found purpose as an aunt when motherhood looked different than she planned, and the practical way she learned to lean on God's timing instead of her own. Nicole's story is a beautiful reminder that no two journeys to Christ look the same, and that God can still write something good out of the hardest chapters.   Resources Mentioned:  Conservative & Chic Podcast Nicole's Website: https://www.conservativeandchic.com/ Buy Nicole's Book: The Butterfly Chronicles   ✨ Join us for the Abortion Recovery Workshop on 9/9 at 7pm CT This free live workshop is where we go even deeper into healing after abortion — come with your questions and leave with real next steps. 👉 https://brittanypoppe.com/workshop   ✨ Support the Podcast Do you love our content and want to support our ministry?

"I can't forgive myself." That's the sentence I hear more than almost any other — in my inbox, my DMs, my coaching calls. Somehow, we can extend forgiveness to just about everyone else in our lives except ourselves. If that's you, friend, you're not alone. In this episode, we're talking about the #1 reason self-forgiveness feels so impossible after abortion — and why you might be the last person on your own forgiveness list. Because here's the truth: it's not about earning God's forgiveness all over again. It's about something deeper you're still holding onto. I get vulnerable about my own journey working through forgiveness in my healing — and the moment I realized I was the only one still upset with me. Then I walk you through the real reason it's so hard to let this go, and what it actually takes to finally hand it over to God for good. I pray this blesses you!    Resources Mentioned:  Sermon - "I've got Control Issues": https://youtu.be/TlLU-PHLNYs?is=XH7i62BGbLv-gLoL   ✨ Join us for the Abortion Recovery Workshop on 9/9 at 7pm CT This free live workshop is where we go even deeper into healing after abortion — come with your questions and leave with real next steps. 👉 https://brittanypoppe.com/workshop   ✨ Support the Podcast Do you love our content and want to support our ministry?

Do you see a pro-life billboard and feel your stomach drop? A commercial comes on, a headline catches your eye, someone shares a post — and just like that, the guilt floods back in. You know those reminders aren't going away. But it can feel like every time you see one, you're being called out all over again. If that's you, friend, you're not alone. In this episode, we're talking about how to stop letting pro-life content trigger a spiral of guilt — because here's the truth: those signs and headlines weren't put there to condemn you. Grace has already covered what guilt keeps trying to bring back up. I get vulnerable about a sign near my hometown cemetery that's followed me for years — one I still drive past today — and how God has met me in it, little by little, as I've healed.  Then I walk you through 3 simple steps to help you respond to those triggers with peace instead of shame — steps you can start using the very next time guilt tries to catch you off guard.

Do you sit down to pray and feel completely lost for words? You know prayer matters, but you don't know where to start. Or maybe you do pray regularly — and it feels like your words hit the ceiling. God feels silent. Your prayers feel unanswered. And the pain underneath it all feels too deep and too shameful to bring to Him. If that's you, friend, you're not alone. In this episode, we're talking about how to pray for healing after abortion — even when you feel like you don't deserve to. Because here's the truth: healing is available to you. Not because you've earned it, but because grace was never about earning it in the first place. I get vulnerable about my own prayer life over the last six months — the seasons where prayer felt dry, hard, and honestly kind of hopeless — and how Romans 8:26-27 met me right there: "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God." Then I walk you through a simple, biblical prayer framework you can start using today — five steps to help you reconnect with God in your abortion healing journey, even when you don't have the words.  Grab a notebook — you're going to need it for this one!   Resources Mentioned:  True North Church 7/26 Service Brick Device (not an affiliate link, I just love it!)   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

Do you ever wonder if your past abortion is still affecting you, even years later? Many women assume that if they aren't thinking about their abortion every day, they've moved on. But trauma doesn't always show up in obvious ways. Sometimes it hides beneath the surface, impacting your relationships, self-worth, and everyday life without you realizing the connection. In this episode, we're talking about five hidden symptoms of Post-Abortion Stress Syndrome (PASS) that often go unnoticed. While PASS is not a formally recognized clinical diagnosis, many women experience trauma-related symptoms after abortion that can emerge immediately—or even decades later. If you've ever felt like something isn't quite right but couldn't put your finger on it, this conversation may help you understand why.   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

Do you know God has forgiven you… but still can't seem to forgive yourself after your abortion? Maybe you've confessed your abortion to God countless times. You believe Jesus died for your sins. You know the gospel is true. So why does the guilt keep coming back? If you've ever wondered why forgiveness after abortion feels so difficult—or why you still struggle even though you know God has forgiven you—this episode is for you. Today we're unpacking three common lies Christian women believe about forgiveness after abortion and replacing them with biblical truth. You'll discover why forgiveness is more than a feeling, why accepting Christ's sacrifice isn't minimizing what happened, and why forgiveness is often the beginning of healing—not the end. If you've been carrying shame for far too long, I pray this episode helps you experience the freedom Jesus purchased for you on the cross.   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

Have you ever wondered why you can't "just move on" after your abortion? Maybe it happened years ago, yet certain dates, pregnancy announcements, baby showers, or even a familiar place instantly bring the memories rushing back. You may have assumed that time would heal your heart. But if you're still carrying grief, anxiety, shame, or unexpected emotional reactions, there may be something deeper going on. In this episode, we're exploring the connection between abortion trauma, the nervous system, and healing. You'll learn the difference between trauma and PTSD, why abortion can become a traumatic experience for many women, and how Jesus invites us into genuine healing—not simply surviving. If you've ever questioned why your abortion still affects you, this conversation will help you better understand what's happening in both your mind and your heart—and remind you that lasting healing is possible.   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

Were you told the abortion pill would be "just like a heavy period," that you'd feel immediate relief, or that you could simply move on afterward? For many women, the reality is far different than what they expected. Whether you've personally taken the abortion pill or you're trying to better understand what women are being told today, this episode takes a compassionate, truth-centered look at five of the most common claims surrounding the abortion pill—and compares them with what many women actually experience. This isn't about shame. It's about replacing misinformation with truth, acknowledging the reality of abortion trauma, and discovering that healing is possible through Jesus Christ. If your abortion experience left you with questions, grief, or emotions you weren't prepared for, I pray this conversation reminds you that God's grace is greater than every lie you've believed.   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

Have you ever smiled through someone else's pregnancy announcement while quietly grieving your own abortion? Maybe you avoid baby showers, scroll past pregnancy announcements as quickly as possible, or find yourself wondering why seeing happy families still hurts—even years later. If that's you, you're not alone. In this episode, we're talking about why pregnancy announcements, babies, and growing families can continue to trigger women after abortion. You'll learn what's really happening beneath those emotional reactions, why unresolved grief often resurfaces in unexpected ways, and how biblical healing can help you move forward without pretending your pain doesn't exist.

Have you ever felt like the moment you started walking in obedience to God, everything seemed to come against you? Maybe you've experienced unexpected criticism, discouragement, fear, anxiety, or even outright hostility for sharing your faith or your testimony. If so, you may have found yourself in the middle of spiritual warfare. In today's episode, I'm sharing a very personal story about what happened after I posted on social media for the anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Within hours, my post exploded with hateful comments from people all over the internet. While the experience was painful, God used it to remind me of powerful biblical truths about spiritual warfare, healing, and how we can stand firm without allowing the enemy to derail our progress. If you've ever wondered how to respond when spiritual warfare comes your way—especially during your abortion healing journey—this episode will encourage you and equip you with practical, biblical tools to keep moving forward. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why spiritual warfare often intensifies when we're walking in obedience to God. What happened when one of my social media posts unexpectedly went viral for all the wrong reasons. Why our battle is never against people, but against spiritual forces. How Jesus responded to spiritual attacks by praying Scripture. Why every Christian needs trusted, godly counselors and intercessors. How slowing down before responding can protect your heart and your witness. Practical ways to continue pursuing biblical healing after abortion, even when facing opposition. If this episode encouraged you, would you take a moment to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend? Every review helps more women discover hope, healing, and freedom through Jesus after abortion.   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

Have you ever wondered if your abortion decision would have been different if someone had simply shared a different message with you? So many women look back on their abortion and think, "If only someone had told me..." While we can't go back and change the past, we can learn from our experiences, find healing through Christ, and help create a culture that values both women and children. In today's episode, I'm sharing the pro-life message I wish I had heard before my own abortion. This isn't about condemnation—it's about hope. As I reflected on my own story, God revealed something that challenged the way I think about our culture and how we communicate the value of children. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why our culture's view of children matters more than we often realize. How welcoming children into everyday spaces communicates their inherent value. Why celebrating families instead of criticizing them can make a lasting impact. How these cultural messages may influence women facing unexpected pregnancies. The hope, healing, and redemption that are available no matter what your past holds. If you've experienced abortion, I pray this conversation encourages you rather than burdens you. There is no shame in looking back and wondering "what if." Jesus offers forgiveness, healing, and a new beginning, and He can use your story to bring hope to others.   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

Have you been trying to heal after abortion on your own? Maybe you've been praying, reading your Bible, listening to podcasts, and doing everything you know to do—but you still feel stuck. Perhaps you're wondering why healing feels so hard, why God seems silent, or why the shame just won't go away. If that's you, this episode is going to challenge one of the biggest lies many women believe: that healing is something we're supposed to do alone. The truth is that God designed us for community. In today's episode, we're exploring what Scripture says about healing in community versus healing in isolation. We'll look at three powerful biblical truths that reveal why support, accountability, encouragement, and confession are essential parts of the healing journey. I'll also share a personal story about our recent move and how having support made all the difference during one of the most exhausting seasons of my life. If you've been carrying the weight of abortion in secret, this episode is your invitation to step out of isolation and into the healing God intended for you.   🚨 ABORTION RECOVERY WORKSHOP! 🚨 Ready to stop feeling stuck in shame, guilt, grief, or regret after abortion?

Do you find yourself struggling with intimacy in your marriage—even though your abortion happened years ago? Maybe you're married now, you love your husband, and you want a healthy relationship, but something still feels difficult. Perhaps you feel disconnected, anxious, ashamed, or even avoid intimacy altogether. What many women don't realize is that abortion trauma can impact far more than their emotions. Trauma affects the mind, body, and spirit. Because sex was connected to the experience that led to your abortion, your brain and body may still be carrying wounds that haven't fully healed. In today's episode, we're having an honest conversation about the connection between abortion trauma and intimacy in marriage. I'll share some of my own story, how purity culture and abortion trauma affected my relationship with my husband, and practical steps you can take to begin healing. If you've ever wondered why intimacy feels harder than it "should," this episode is for you.   🚨 ABORTION RECOVERY WORKSHOP! 🚨 Ready to stop feeling stuck in shame, guilt, grief, or regret after abortion?

Have you ever looked at a positive pregnancy test and felt fear instead of joy? If so, you're not alone. For many women, an abortion doesn't just affect the past—it affects how they feel about future pregnancies too. The thought of getting pregnant again can trigger anxiety, panic, guilt, shame, and fears about what might happen next. In today's episode, I'm sharing my own experience with fear after abortion and why pregnancy felt terrifying for years—even after I was married and wanted children. If you've been avoiding pregnancy, panicking about the possibility of having children, or wondering if God is punishing you for your past, this episode will encourage you. Friend, God is not waiting to punish you. He is a Redeemer. And your abortion does not get the final say over your future.   🚨 ABORTION RECOVERY WORKSHOP! 🚨 Ready to stop feeling stuck in shame, guilt, grief, or regret after abortion?

Have you ever wondered if God can redeem a termination for medical reasons (TFMR)? Maybe you've been carrying this story in silence for years. Maybe a prenatal diagnosis turned your world upside down, and in the middle of fear, confusion, pressure, and heartbreak, you made a decision that you now deeply regret. Or maybe the recent headlines about Jesse Ridgeway have brought all of those emotions rushing back to the surface. In today's episode, we're having a compassionate but honest conversation about termination for medical reasons and the hope that is available through Jesus Christ. If you've ever wondered whether God could still love you, forgive you, or use your story after a termination for medical reasons, this episode is for you. Friend, there is hope. No matter what you've done. No matter how long you've carried it. No matter how impossible healing feels right now. Jesus already knows your story, and He is still inviting you to come to Him.   🚨 ABORTION RECOVERY WORKSHOP! 🚨 Ready to stop feeling stuck in shame, guilt, grief, or regret after abortion?

Have you ever been caught off guard by an emotional reaction you didn't expect? Maybe it was a pregnancy announcement. A due date. A baby shower invitation. A worship song. A conversation at church. Suddenly, you're overwhelmed with sadness, anxiety, guilt, anger, or grief—and you find yourself wondering: "Why am I still being triggered by this?" If you've ever felt frustrated by your emotional reactions after abortion, this episode is for you. Today, we're talking about trauma triggers after abortion, why they happen, and what they may be revealing about areas of your heart that still need healing. Many Christian women assume that being triggered means they're failing, stuck, or not trusting God enough. But what if your triggers aren't evidence that you're broken? What if they're invitations into deeper healing? If you've been asking yourself, "Why can't I just move on?" or "Why does this still affect me?" this conversation will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and remind you that healing is possible.   🚨 ABORTION RECOVERY WORKSHOP! 🚨 Ready to stop feeling stuck in shame, guilt, grief, or regret after abortion?

Have you ever wondered why you're reading your Bible, praying, going to church, and doing all the "right" things—but you still don't feel healed after your abortion? If so, you're not alone. Many Christian women assume that if they spend enough time in God's Word, the shame, guilt, grief, and trauma will simply disappear. Then when healing doesn't happen as quickly as they hoped, they start to wonder if they're doing something wrong. Maybe you've thought: Why do I still feel stuck? Why can't I seem to move past my abortion? Why do I know God forgives me, but I don't feel forgiven? Why am I still struggling with shame after all these years? In today's episode, we're talking about an important truth: Bible study is essential, but information alone doesn't produce healing. God's Word is powerful, but healing often requires more than simply reading Scripture. It requires surrender, honesty, community, and allowing God's truth to reach the deepest wounds of your heart. If you've been feeling discouraged because you're reading your Bible but still struggling after abortion, this episode will encourage you and remind you that healing is a process—and God hasn't given up on you.   🚨 ABORTION RECOVERY WORKSHOP! 🚨 Ready to stop feeling stuck in shame, guilt, grief, or regret after abortion?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the exhausting cycle of self-hatred after abortion and the biblical path toward true forgiveness and healing. If you are tired of carrying shame like it’s part of your identity, this conversation will help you take your next step toward freedom with Jesus.   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

You are not crazy for struggling. You are not weak for grieving. And you do not have to keep carrying this alone.

Have you ever felt like the abortion industry promised you freedom, empowerment, or relief… only for you to be left carrying pain, grief, confusion, or regret afterward? Maybe you were told “it’s just a clump of cells.” Maybe you were told “this won’t affect you emotionally.” Maybe you were told abortion was your only option. And now you’re sitting with questions, wounds, or heartbreak no one prepared you for. In today’s episode, I’m sharing 7 common lies the abortion industry tells women and exposing them with truth, compassion, and biblical perspective. Not to shame or condemn you, but because the truth is what sets us free. If you’ve ever felt deceived, gaslit, silenced, or emotionally wrecked after abortion, this conversation is for you.

What if forgiveness isn’t about pretending the pain never happened… but about finally releasing yourself from the prison of shame? In this deeply honest and hope filled conversation, Brittany sits down with Dr. Carron Silva, certified Catholic mindset coach, retreat leader, and author, to unpack the difficult but healing journey of self forgiveness after abortion. So many Christian women are told they need to forgive, but no one explains how. In this episode, Carron shares why forgiveness is often misunderstood in Christian spaces, what it actually means to let go of self punishment, and how Jesus invites us into mercy instead of lifelong shame. If you’ve ever struggled to believe God could truly forgive you, this episode will remind you that mercy was always meant for your story too.   Connect with Dr. Carron Silva:  https://www.drcarron.com Instagram: @silvacarron Podcast: Forgiveness is for You   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

Have you ever felt like you deserve to suffer after your abortion? Maybe you know God forgives you… but deep down, you still punish yourself through shame, anxiety, self hatred, fear, emotional numbness, or refusing to fully move forward. In this episode, we’re talking about the hidden ways women continue carrying self-condemnation after abortion and why staying trapped in punishment is not the same thing as healing. If you’ve ever thought: “I can’t forgive myself.” “I deserve this pain.” “If I stop hurting, does that mean I stopped caring?” “God could never fully redeem me.” …this episode is for you. Together, we’ll unpack 5 biblical reasons you can stop punishing yourself and begin walking in the redemption Jesus already paid for on the cross. This conversation is compassionate, honest, scripture-rooted, and filled with hope for the woman who feels emotionally exhausted from carrying shame alone.   Resources Mentioned:  Mother's Day Forum Article   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?

What if the emotional reactions, triggers, and struggles you’re facing today are connected to wounds you never fully healed from yesterday? In today’s powerful conversation, Brittany sits down with spiritual growth coach Miranda to talk about emotional healing, trauma, motherhood, spiritual breakthrough, and the freedom that comes through surrendering it all to God. Miranda shares her personal story of transformation — from living as a self-proclaimed “control freak” to walking through deep healing with the Lord after experiencing childhood divorce, military sexual trauma, struggles in marriage, and emotional pain she could no longer ignore. Together, Brittany and Miranda discuss how unresolved trauma can impact every area of life — including parenting, relationships, emotional reactions, and even our ability to grow spiritually. They also unpack how triggers can become teachers, why healing matters for future generations, and how Jesus meets us in the middle of our mess with grace, restoration, and hope.

Ever feel like you should keep going—even when everything in you is telling you to slow down? In today’s episode, I’m sharing a little behind-the-scenes of why the podcast has been quiet lately (longer than I planned after Lent!)… and what God showed me in that space. We’re also diving into 3 spiritual benefits of rest—because rest isn’t just a break… it’s actually a biblical invitation that can draw you closer to God, not further from your calling.

What if the reason you’re still struggling after your abortion isn’t just emotional… but moral? So many women assume what they’re dealing with is grief. Or regret. Or trauma.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about: What moral injury actually is Why it affects so many Christian women after abortion How it differs from “just” emotional pain And how to know if this is what you’re experiencing If you’ve ever thought: Why can’t I just move on? Why do I feel like I betrayed myself… or God? Why does this feel deeper than sadness?

If you’ve ever sat in church hoping someone would acknowledge abortion… If you’ve wondered why this kind of pain feels invisible in Christian spaces… If you’ve questioned whether your church even knows how many women are silently carrying this trauma… This episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re naming something that desperately needs light: abortion trauma is real—and for many women, the silence in the Church makes it heavier, not lighter. I’m sharing a personal moment that still stands out to me years later—when a single sentence from my pastor changed everything. He said the word “abortion” from the pulpit, and instead of shame, it was followed by Jesus-filled hope. Even though I wasn’t physically in the room, I felt seen, known, and reminded that redemption includes me, too. But I know many of you can’t relate to that experience. The reality is this: Around 70% of women who choose abortion identify as Christian Roughly 40% are actively attending church And well over 60% of women experience negative mental health effects afterward, regardless of how they felt about their abortion at the time This is not rare. This is not theoretical. And it’s not something we can afford to keep ignoring. In this episode, we talk honestly about three common reasons churches often avoid the topic of abortion—and why those reasons can unintentionally deepen the wounds women are already carrying. You’ll hear: Why abortion trauma is often left out of church conversations—even when it’s present in the pews How silence can unintentionally communicate shame, even when that’s not the intent The difference between avoiding pain and actually offering healing Why acknowledging abortion doesn’t make the church “political”—it makes it pastoral How Jesus-centered truth creates safety, not condemnation My heart in this episode isn’t to criticize the Church—but to invite compassion, courage, and clarity. Healing begins when we stop pretending this pain doesn’t exist and start bringing it into the light with Christ at the center.   🚨 Ready to begin real healing after abortion?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from your body… this conversation is for you. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kari Davis, a natural wellness advocate, life coach, and host of The Well: Health & Wholeness Podcast. Together, we talk about whole-body healing—not just emotionally or spiritually, but physically too—and how small, intentional shifts can bring real relief to overwhelmed women. Kari shares how her journey into natural wellness began unexpectedly when her son was sick, leading her to essential oils and eventually into a calling to help women simplify their health, reduce toxins, and reconnect with God’s design for healing. After walking through profound grief with the loss of her husband, Kari learned firsthand the importance of self-care, boundaries, movement, and faith as tools for restoration. This episode is a gentle reminder that healing doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive, and that your body and emotions are deeply connected. In this episode, we cover: Why emotional and physical health cannot be separated How movement (even walking) supports mental and emotional healing Practical ways to manage overwhelm and anxiety through lifestyle changes The hidden toxins in everyday household products—and where to start eliminating them How essential oils support emotional regulation and self-care Simple, affordable swaps for natural cleaning and fragrance Why “putting in the good” helps push out the bad—mentally, emotionally, and physically How faith, Scripture, and gratitude anchor healing during grief and hard seasons Kari also shares encouragement for the woman carrying shame, guilt, or grief—reminding us that God is a God of resurrection, new beginnings, and daily renewal. You are not behind. You are not failing. And healing is still possible—one small step at a time. This episode is for the woman who wants to feel better in her body 🤍 The woman who feels anxious and inflamed—physically or emotionally 🤍 The woman craving a simpler, healthier, faith-centered life 🤍   Get in Touch with Kari:  The Well Podcast thewellteam.com IG: @karidavis_thewell   🚨 Ready to begin real healing after abortion?

Have you ever wondered if abortion is the one sin God can’t forgive? If you’ve carried the fear that you’ve gone too far… that you’ve done something permanent and unforgivable… you’re not alone. This question comes up again and again in abortion recovery — and it’s one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck in shame, silence, and spiritual distance. In this episode, we’re unpacking what the Bible actually says about forgiveness, the so-called “unforgivable sin,” and why abortion does not put you beyond God’s grace. If you’ve been afraid to hope, afraid to believe forgiveness is really for you, this episode is for you.   Episode Resource:  What is the Unpardonable Sin / Unforgivable Sin?   🚨 Ready to begin real healing after abortion?

What happens when the secrets we carry finally come into the light? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kristina Joy Robertson, and together we share an honest, faith-filled conversation about healing after betrayal, shame, and the choices we never thought we’d talk about out loud. Kristina bravely shares her story of walking through a seven-year affair that began during a season of deep grief after miscarriage. What started as a coping mechanism slowly turned into an addiction—one she couldn’t break without help. Through counseling, accountability, and a powerful retreat experience, Kristina reached a turning point that led to confession, surrender, and spiritual renewal. Together, we talk about the temptation to stay hidden, the fear of telling the truth, and the freedom that comes when we finally choose the light. This episode is for the woman who is asking: Can God really heal this? Is forgiveness possible after what I’ve done? What if my story disqualifies me from peace, love, or purpose? We cover: Why forcing healing doesn’t work—and how surrender changes everything The spiritual and emotional cost of secrecy and shame What confession, counseling, and community actually look like in real life Rebuilding trust with yourself, with God, and in your relationships How faith-based practices like Scripture, journaling, and prayer support deep healing Why your story—no matter how messy—can become a source of hope for others We close the conversation with a shared heart for creating safe, faith-centered spaces where women can stop hiding, start healing, and remember who they are in Christ. 🤍 You are not too far gone. 🤍 You are not defined by your worst decision. 🤍 And you do not have to walk this road alone.

What does healing after abortion actually sound like? Not the polished testimony. Not the “I’m fine now” version. But the real, in-process moments where truth is settling in, walls are coming down, and God is gently meeting women right where they are. In today’s episode, I’m doing something a little different. I’m inviting you to listen in on a real snippet from inside my Abortion Recovery Roadmap — a moment that captures what healing truly looks and sounds like when a woman finally allows herself to be honest, present, and open with God. If you’ve ever wondered: What happens inside an abortion recovery program? What do women actually talk about? Will I feel safe… or exposed? Will this stir things up — or bring peace? This episode gives you a glimpse. You’ll hear the tone of the space, the compassion woven into the teaching, and the way God meets women not with pressure or shame — but with truth, tenderness, and invitation. This episode is for the woman who: Is curious about healing but hesitant to commit Wonders if abortion recovery will feel overwhelming Needs to hear what real healing sounds like before taking a step Wants reassurance that she won’t be rushed, judged, or pushed As you listen, notice what your heart does.

What if the fear you feel about healing after abortion isn’t a sign to stop — but an invitation to lean in? If you’ve ever felt the pull toward healing… and then immediately felt scared of what it might cost you emotionally, spiritually, or relationally — this episode is for you. So many women want freedom but feel frozen at the thought of opening old wounds, facing buried grief, or risking disappointment. In today’s episode, we talk honestly about why healing can feel so scary, what’s really happening beneath that fear, and how God gently meets us right there. I’m sharing my own journey — from how long I avoided abortion healing, to the nerves and spiritual warfare I experienced when I finally said yes, to the freedom I never imagined was possible on the other side. You’ll hear: Why fear often shows up right before breakthrough What abortion healing actually requires of you (and what it doesn’t) How avoidance keeps us stuck — but leaning in opens the door to freedom Why opening your heart to God is essential for real healing How making a simple but intentional commitment can change everything If you’re listening to this and feeling a nudge — especially knowing you’ve been avoiding this for a long time — I want you to know you’re not behind, you’re not broken, and you’re not alone.   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

Have you been feeling guilty about your abortion — or sensing a pull to finally address it — but you’re not sure where those feelings are coming from? In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most confusing and important questions in abortion recovery: Is this shame… or is it conviction? Understanding the difference can change everything about how you heal, how you see God, and how you move forward. I’m sharing honestly about the season when I believed my shame was coming from God — when I didn’t yet understand His grace or His character — and how that misunderstanding kept me stuck, hiding, and afraid of forgiveness. You’ll learn: The key difference between shame and conviction — and why confusing the two is so damaging Why shame attacks your identity, but conviction invites you into healing How the Holy Spirit uses conviction to lead us to repentance — not condemnation The specific Scriptures that help separate God’s voice from the enemy’s lies This episode will help you stop internalizing your past as your identity and start responding to God’s invitation with confidence, clarity, and hope. If you’ve been unsure which voice you’re hearing, this episode will help you recognize truth, reject shame, and take the next step toward freedom. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

Are you running from Jesus — even if you don’t realize it? Sometimes running doesn’t look like rebellion. Sometimes it looks like staying busy, staying “fine,” or convincing ourselves we’ll deal with the pain later. In this episode, I’m sharing the moment that became a true turning point in my abortion recovery — the moment I stopped running from Jesus and finally turned toward Him instead. I open up about my experience in a Bible-based abortion recovery program, the unexpected resistance that rose up in me when I was asked to be vulnerable, and the realization that changed everything: I wasn’t just hiding my grief from people — I was hiding it from Jesus. You’ll hear: What running from Jesus can look like after abortion Why private grief often keeps us stuck instead of safe How vulnerability became the doorway to real healing for me Why surrendering your pain to Jesus — instead of carrying it alone — is what finally brings freedom This episode is for the woman who wants healing but is afraid of what it will cost her emotionally. It’s for the woman who’s tired of running, tired of hiding, and ready to stop picking the pain back up after setting it down. If you’re longing for peace, healing, and freedom, this episode is a reminder that Jesus isn’t asking you to perform — He’s inviting you to come closer. Healing is already waiting for you, friend. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

If you’ve ever wondered why the thoughts before your abortion sounded so convincing — and the thoughts after sounded so cruel — this episode will open your eyes. Satan has a script when it comes to abortion. He knows exactly what to say to get women into the clinic… and exactly what to say afterward to keep them trapped in shame, silence, and fear. Today, we’re exposing that script — and more importantly, learning how to shut it down. In this episode, I share vulnerably about the spiritual warfare I experienced before and after my abortion, how the lies shifted the moment it was over, and why that pattern is not accidental. We talk about why shame is the enemy’s favorite weapon — and why it loses its power the moment it’s brought into the light. You’ll learn: How spiritual warfare shows up before and after abortion Why the enemy moves from justification to accusation — and how that keeps women stuck The two practical steps you can start today to shut shame down How naming lies and replacing them with God’s truth leads to real freedom and peace This episode isn’t about minimizing responsibility — it’s about understanding the battle you’ve been fighting and realizing that shame was never meant to be your sentence. Healing is possible. Wholeness is possible. And freedom is closer than you think. If shame has been controlling your thoughts and stealing your peace after abortion, this episode will help you recognize the lies, reclaim truth, and begin walking in freedom again. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

Does prayer feel pointless lately? Do you find yourself wondering if it even matters — or if God is listening at all? If you’ve ever felt like God is distant, silent, or hard to reach after abortion, this episode is for you. Today we’re talking honestly about why prayer can feel ineffective and why God can seem far — even when you love Him and want a closer relationship. In this episode, I’m sharing from my own spiritual journey and the seasons when God still felt distant, even after years of growth. Not from a place of condemnation or shame — but from understanding. We’re going to look at what might be getting in the way and, more importantly, what you can actually do to change that. You’ll hear: Three common reasons God feels far after abortion Why distance doesn’t always mean abandonment — and what it often really points to How shame, avoidance, and control quietly disrupt intimacy with God One simple, practical step you can take this week to begin feeling closer to Him again This episode isn’t about doing more or being perfect. It’s about starting where you are, stopping the hiding, and learning how to spend time with God in a way that’s honest, consistent, and life-giving. If prayer feels hard, distant, or empty right now, this episode will help you understand why — and show you how to take the first small step back toward closeness with God. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

Has it been years since your abortion — and now, out of nowhere, everything feels like it’s falling apart? Maybe you spent a long time feeling “fine.” You built a life, deepened your faith, and convinced yourself the past was behind you. And then suddenly, the grief, guilt, and regret you thought you had dealt with come crashing in all at once. If you’re wondering how you’re supposed to survive today — let alone tomorrow — this episode is for you. In this episode, I’m sharing my own story of how the weight of unhealed shame and grief surfaced more than a decade after my abortion — during a run where God met me in a way I didn’t expect and didn’t understand at the time. I’ll talk honestly about the fear, confusion, and self-punishment I carried, and how major life moments have a way of bringing buried pain back to the surface. You’ll learn: Why it’s normal for abortion grief to resurface years — or even decades — later How life transitions, loss, stress, and exhaustion can unlock unhealed trauma Why your body and heart remember what your mind tried to forget What you can actually do when the grief feels overwhelming and impossible to ignore If you’ve ever thought, “Why now?” or “I thought I was past this,” I want you to know: you’re not broken, you’re not weak, and you’re not alone. There is a reason this is surfacing — and there is a path toward healing and peace. If regret has found you again after all these years, this episode will help you understand why — and remind you that God’s grace is still sufficient for you. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

Do you ever feel like God has gone silent because of your past? Like you’ve done the one thing that disqualified you from His presence, His blessings, or even His attention? Friend, you are not alone — and you are not forgotten. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the hidden way shame after abortion quietly sabotages your spiritual growth. I’m sharing vulnerably from my own prayer journals and the patterns I didn’t recognize for years — including how shame shaped the way I prayed, what I believed about forgiveness, and why I felt like God was always just out of reach. You’ll hear: Why shame doesn’t draw you closer to God — it keeps you stuck at arm’s length The three most common lies women believe after abortion that block spiritual intimacy Powerful Scriptures that directly confront the belief that you’re unforgivable, ruined, or forgotten How God’s forgiveness is not fragile, conditional, or temporary — even after abortion We’ll also talk about what it actually looks like to grow spiritually while you’re healing — not after you “fix yourself,” but right where you are. You are not unforgivable. You are not ruined. You are not forgotten. Jesus came to set you free — and this episode is for the woman who needs that reminder today. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?
