This topic has been on my heart for a long time, and I’ve been wrestling with whether or not I should even talk about it. While I definitely prefer sharing the Truth with a little extra love, this episode may be a bit more of a “tough love” type of episode. However, I am speaking to myself too!   I pray this episode blesses you and helps you grow in your relationship with Jesus!   Ready to start your healing?

We did some extensive market research last fall and have continued to add to it, and do you know what the most common theme is?  “I feel so alone.”  Yet, we know that 1 in 4 women will have had at least one abortion by the age of 45. Because of that, we KNOW we’re not alone, but where are we? Where can we go to support each other in our healing? Today, I'm giving you 3 ways to find community with other women that are working towards healing from their past abortion(s).  I pray this blesses...

We do have our Workshop bonuses ending tomorrow, so if you’ve been wanting to take advantage but are hesitant because you don’t know what to expect, this episode is for you.    Full disclaimer, if you do book a one hour call with me I do record...

We’ve talked about Forbidden Grief. We know we are grieving our children, but we don’t feel like it’s allowed. We don't feel like we have permission to grieve because we chose this.  Because of this pain, it can be hard to imagine that God would want us to heal. Today, I'm sharing 3 scriptures with you that prove God wants you to heal.  I pray this blesses you!    Don’t miss our FREE Abortion Recovery Workshop on April 24th! Sign up here for details:...

Abortion is in the news so often, and because of this there is tons of misinformation about what exactly abortion is. The left uses scare tactics to try to fight for abortion access, and they do this by saying that miscarriage management and ectopic pregnancy treatment are abortions. They say that if abortion is illegal, then care for these instances will not be legal either. So, what is the truth? Let’s unpack it. I pray this blesses you!    Don’t miss our FREE Abortion Recovery Workshop on...

It’s an election year, and it's proving to be especially vile. Abortion is a huge issue anyway, but this year it is even bigger than it normally is. Right now, many states are introducing legislation that would criminalize abortion, allowing doctors and women seeking abortions to be prosecuted. This is an extremely complex issue & as someone post-abortive, it may be hard for you to hear about.  Today, I thought I would hopefully encourage you if the media headlines about abortion and...

When I recently asked our Facebook group (you can join us at bit.ly/dgfagroup) what topics I should talk about on the podcast, "relationships" came up as a requested topic! So, let's talk about it.    Do you struggle forming new relationships because of your past abortion? Dating? Friendships? Anything in between? If you do, you're not alone. Today, we're going to talk about how to handle the different types of relationships that you have with people when it comes to your past abortion.    I...

I am a person that thrives off of routines! Prior to my healing from my past abortion, I would try to implement all of these routines in my life only to be inconsistent and unsuccessful. Once I found my healing, I had the tools I needed to notice my triggers, prevent them, and also respond to them when they occurred. Having a plan in place has helped keep my symptoms of Post-Abortion Syndrome at bay and has allowed me to live in the abundant life that God desires for each of us.  I've...

Are you afraid that when people find out about your past abortion(s), they’re going to judge you?  Are you afraid you’re going to lose friends? Be uninvited from family gatherings? Viewed differently by people in your life?    While I can’t promise you that won’t happen, I can assure you that it is probably going to happen far less than you think it’s going to happen.    In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how to respond to judgment should you encounter it on your healing journey....

For those of us struggling with shame and guilt following an abortion, it can be hard to understand what Easter is truly about. If you have yet to go through healing, you actually might be feeling fearful this weekend. My prayer is that this episode will be a source of hope for you and will point you to the One who came to give you the hope that you so need.    Get ready for a message of hope!    Don’t miss our FREE Abortion Recovery Workshop on April 24th!

We’ve previously gone over forgiving others' involvement in your abortion experience, but what about the people that need to forgive you?  We may not think about the many other people affected by our choice to have an abortion, but there are likely people in our experience that have been affected negatively because of the choice we made. Now, I don’t say this to make you feel guilty or to hurt you. I bring this up, because you are likely going to encounter this thought at some point in your...

I am beyond excited today to introduce you to my new friend, Clara Munger.  Clara Munger is 23 years old, and, when she was 21, she had a chemical abortion. As a Christian, it can be challenging to face the damaging effects and consequences of abortion. Clara has started her ministry, Redeemed & Restored Ministry, to share about her testimony and to bring hope that what the enemy meant for evil, God can turn it around for good (Gen. 50:20). I just know that you are going to be blessed by...

How do you move forward when you can’t stop thinking about your past? How do you move past something so painful and at times, so incredibly raw? How can you move forward from something that you’ll never be able to forget?   It may seem impossible, but I promise that with God, it IS possible to move forward from your past decision or decisions of abortion. Grab your coffee and get comfy, because it's time to learn how!    FOR LIMITED TIME:  I have created an abortion recovery coaching...

It is my absolute honor to introduce you to my friend, Kay Kiefer! Kay and I met shortly after my abortion and, after 10 years of wandering in the wilderness, Kay was the person I was able to go to when I needed to seek Christ's redemption.  Kay is the founder and executive director of We Are Everywhere, a ministry dedicated to empowering Christian ministries and individuals to reach out in love, truth, and grace to women whose lives have been impacted by abortion. I absolutely cannot wait...

We made it to 100 episodes!! A year ago at this time I had no idea the impact that the podcast would have and I am just so incredibly grateful for all of you who faithfully listen. You are AMAZING and have blessed me so much!    As a thank you, we are going to have a GIVEAWAY for the month of March! This month, we are giving away a Bible study from Daily Grace Co. The study we are giving away is on the book of Ruth, called Ruth “Fields of Grace.” How do you enter? You will want to leave a...

"Follow your heart."  "You are enough."  "You are worthy."  If we listen to the world, we only get so far before we crash and burn. The fact is, we are NOT enough. We are NOT our own redemption. Redemption is only found through Christ.  So, what do we need to do? We need to turn to the Word of God to seek the truth about redemption so that when we are faced with these trials, when we are seeking healing, forgiveness, and wholeness from a past decision of abortion, we know what God says about...

Do you feel peace in your life? Or, do you feel like you are in a constant state of distress? When you hear people talking about feeling peaceful, do you yearn for that feeling but feel as though that’s just impossible for you?    Shame will do that to a person. Living in a constant state of shame wreaks complete havoc on your spirit. It’s why Satan loves it so much and wants us to live that way forever - he loves seeing how much shame can cripple our daily lives and make us feel completely...

Before we dig into today’s episode, I just have to give a disclaimer: this episode is not bashing therapy/mental health counseling! I am a firm believer that therapy is important, that licensed professional counselors/therapists are highly skilled, and I respect them immensely and hope to become one someday! I encourage therapy for sure.  This past fall when I was conducting market research for the podcast, the most common phrase I heard over and over again was: "therapy isn’t working." It's...

A majority of the women I encounter are women who have already chosen abortion. These women have been bound by the chains of shame and guilt for so long, and are searching for hope and just don’t know where to find it. Many women take this secret to the grave, never finding true wholeness and healing.  Now and then, I do receive a message from an abortion minded woman. They find my podcast and reach out sharing with me why abortion is the best choice for them and why it’s necessary. I’ll be...

The post-abortion mission field is ripe for harvest. With an estimated 878,000 abortions in the first 10 months of 2023 just in the US alone, there is no wonder why we have women in distress needing help and not knowing where to turn. At the same time, each of those abortions is also a life lost at the hands of the father of lies.  Perhaps you’re feeling called into this mission field. You have a desire to share your testimony. You want to help other women choose life and not make the same...

Thinking about telling other people about your abortion can be terrifying. Believe me, I’ve been there. Despite having this podcast and speaking at public venues about my story, I still have these feelings at times. Anytime I meet someone new and they ask what I do, I sometimes am not sure what to say. After all, my past is pretty obvious after I share what I do!    So when we think about telling the people closest to us, it can be even scarier. We have already done an episode about telling...
