305 | Why Certain Things Still Trigger You After Abortion (The Trauma Response Christian Women Need to Understand)

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.

304 | Reading Your Bible Daily but Still Not Healing After Abortion? Here’s Why

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.

300 | Why Forgiveness Feels Impossible After Abortion + How to Start Healing | Special Guest, Dr. Carron Silva

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.

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.

“God could never fully redeem me.”
…this episode is for you.

298 | The Trauma You Never Healed May Still Be Leading Your Life | Special Guest, Miranda Wendler

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.
This episode is raw, faith-filled, and packed with encouragement for the woman who feels stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or desperate for deeper healing.
