**Top 2% Globally Ranked Podcast**
Do you struggle with shame because of your past choice of abortion? Do you suffer from low self-esteem, intense guilt, or the fear of punishment because of what you did? Do you wish you could move forward, find peace with God, and finally experience healing after abortion—but feel unworthy or unsure where to start?
I’m so thankful you’re here! This podcast will help you redeem your past, find forgiveness and peace, and finally heal from your abortion once and for all. If you’re longing for biblical healing, freedom from abortion regret, and a restored relationship with Jesus, you’re in the right place.
Hey, I’m Brittany—wife, homeschooling mom, pro-life speaker, and abortion recovery coach. For over 10 years, I carried the weight of my abortion silently, desperately wanting to grow closer to God but feeling unworthy… like I had committed the unforgivable sin.
I believed that in order to “win back” my salvation, I needed to do all the right things and somehow save myself through works. I became a “yes girl” and overworked and overachieved myself straight into a depression I was desperate to crawl out of.
After I finally crashed and burned, God opened my eyes: If I was going to grow closer to Him and truly heal my heart, I needed to come back to the true gospel of Jesus, accept His forgiveness, and stop running in fear.
I dug into the Bible, found accountability and community with other Christian women, and stopped listening to the lies of the enemy that kept me stuck in shame and guilt. And now—I’m here to help you do the same.
If you’re ready to finally shed the shame and guilt that’s weighing you down…
Recognize your true identity in Christ so you’re no longer consumed by self-esteem or body-image struggles…
Experience real intimacy in your marriage and relationships…
And restore your relationship with Jesus so you can walk in true healing after abortion, then this podcast is for you.
Fill up your favorite mug with some coffee and crack open that Bible, because it’s time to receive the Good, Good News!

Do you ever notice certain times of the year when sadness hits you—and you’re not even sure why?
Do you feel anxious around babies or pregnant women?Dread your yearly doctor’s exam?Struggle with anger, anxiety, eating disorders, or self-harm?
And… have you experienced one or more abortions in your past?
If you said yes to any of these, you’re not alone. You may be dealing with something called Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS)—a term used to describe the emotional and psychological aftermath that many women silently suffer after abortion.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about:
What PAS is
How to recognize the symptoms
Why your grief is real—and valid

How I told John about my abortion
What he honestly thought and felt
How it’s impacted our marriage and family life
What it’s like to walk alongside a spouse on a healing journey
Our prayer is that this episode encourages you in your own marriage and helps you see that opening up about your story can lead to deeper connection and healing.

Many women who have had one or more abortions carry this secret alone—even within their marriages. If you’re living with this hidden truth, you know how heavy it can feel. Maybe you don’t have to imagine it, because it’s your reality. And chances are, it’s affecting your marriage.
Keeping secrets in a marriage rarely leads to peace or intimacy, and today we’re going to talk openly about why sharing this part of your story with your spouse is so important.
No matter how long ago your abortion happened, if you’re not in a dangerous or unsafe situation, confiding in your spouse can be a crucial step toward healing and closeness.
This conversation may feel difficult, but I pray this episode equips and encourages you to take that step with the person you are meant to be closest to.
Grab your earbuds and get ready.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month—a time when many women feel a deep wave of grief and guilt, especially those who have experienced abortion.
It’s common to wrestle with feelings of guilt while wanting to grieve the children we lost. Watching others mourn losses from miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant death can make us feel like our grief isn’t valid because we made a different choice.
But here’s the truth: there is no wrong time to honor the children lost to abortion. God created them, and they are with Him in heaven. When we confess our pain and sin to Him, He longs to bring healing and wholeness.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing six meaningful ways you can honor your children—whether during this awareness month or anytime your heart feels heavy.
I pray this episode brings you comfort and hope today.

Welcome to our very first BONUS episode! This week, I had the incredible opportunity to share my testimony with 40 Days for Life outside the local abortion facility in Moorhead, MN.
While the building looks different, it’s the same clinic where I had my abortion nearly 13 years ago—almost to the day. Remarkably, the ownership, many of the staff, and even some of the escorts and sidewalk advocates remain the same.
This experience was deeply healing, and I want to share my fresh reflections with you.
So grab your earbuds, pour yourself a warm cup of coffee, and join me for this special episode.

Grief is not something we can control—especially when it comes to the loss felt after abortion. Sometimes, grief catches us unexpectedly. It may feel especially strong around the due date of your child, the anniversary of your abortion, or during holidays and family gatherings.
No matter when grief hits, God’s desire is for us to experience joy—even in the midst of our pain.
In today’s episode, we’ll explore how to find joy and hope during those difficult seasons of grief.
I pray this episode brings you comfort and encouragement today.

Did you know the word “abortion” doesn’t actually appear in the Bible? It’s true—the exact term isn’t mentioned anywhere in Scripture.
So what does that mean for us today? How do we understand when life begins according to God’s Word? And most importantly, how do we know if God forgives us for the choices we’ve made?
In this episode, we’ll dive into these important questions together. You might want to have your Bible handy—you’re going to want to follow along! 😉

Have you ever thought about the other people involved in your abortion experience? Maybe those who helped you make that decision are carrying their own feelings of shame and guilt. Do you find yourself struggling with anger or resentment toward them?
While we are ultimately responsible for our choices, it’s natural to have complex emotions about others who played a part. Yet, the Bible calls us to forgive—just as God has forgiven us. But what does true forgiveness look like, and how can we begin that process?
In today’s episode, I share a powerful story about forgiveness and offer practical steps you can take to start forgiving those connected to your abortion journey.

Society often tells us that abortion has no lasting negative effects—that women walk away physically and emotionally unharmed, ready to live full, unaffected lives.
But that’s simply not true. Abortion can deeply impact women both physically and mentally. The mental health challenges many face after abortion are very real and are often referred to as Post-Abortion Syndrome.
In today’s episode, we’re discussing three common ways abortion can affect mental health—and practical steps you can take toward healing.
If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or self-harm, please reach out immediately. Call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988. You are not alone.
