Abortion Recovery | Pro Life, Abortion Pill, Biblical Healing, Redemption, Forgiveness, Trauma

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
If you've ever thought, "Shouldn't I be over this by now?" this conversation is for you.

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.

312 | The Pro-Life Message I Wish I Heard Before My Abortion
 

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.
