**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!

It’s time for another powerful guest episode—and today, I’m honored to welcome Melissa Manion to the podcast. Melissa is an author, speaker, and bold truth-teller who is absolutely on fire for the Lord.
Her story is raw, real, and redemptive. As a single mom to a toddler, Melissa faced an unplanned pregnancy. Though she was raised in a pro-life environment, fear and pressure led her to make a decision that brought years of pain and regret: she ended the life of her unborn child.
But that’s not where her story ends.
Melissa has walked the long road of healing, and now God is using her to bring truth, hope, and freedom to others. Through sharing her testimony, she’s leading women to healing in Christ and speaking boldly about the reality of abortion in hopes of inspiring women to choose life.
This conversation is full of grace, truth, and redemption. You don’t want to miss it.

Do you long to feel close to God but quietly wonder if He’s forgotten you?
Do you look at your past abortion and think, “There’s no way God could still love me…”Or fear that what you’ve done is just too much to be forgiven?
If you’ve ever wrestled with the question “Is abortion an unforgivable sin?”—you’re not alone.
In today’s episode, we’re setting the record straight. We’ll look at what the Bible really says about forgiveness, whether there are any sins that are truly unforgivable, and what that means for your story.
This is a message of truth, grace, and hope. I’m praying it blesses you and reminds you that no matter where you’ve been, God is still inviting you home.

It’s small group season at most churches—and if you’re an introvert like me, that opening line might make you want to hide under a blanket. I get it! But hear me out: joining a small group is so worth it. You won’t regret surrounding yourself with other believers and building real, Christ-centered connections.
God never intended for us to walk through life alone. In fact, His Word makes it clear that community is part of His design for us.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing 4 powerful Bible verses that highlight why gathering with other Christians—whether in a small group or a casual Bible study—is essential for your faith and your healing journey.
Let’s dive in!

If you’ve been around the podcast for a while, you know one thing about me: I LOVE books. Honestly, I’m a librarian at heart—literally! I was even trained as one and thought that would be my career path. But God had other plans, and I’m so grateful He led me here instead.
Books are powerful tools, especially when used alongside God’s Word. The four books I’m sharing with you today have deeply impacted my own healing journey, and I pray they do the same for you.
These are more than just great reads—they’re resources to help you better understand the heart of God, find comfort in His truth, and take steps forward in your post-abortion healing.
Grab a notebook (and maybe a library card 😉), and get ready to add to your reading list!

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
✨ Before we begin, please know: I am not a mental health professional. What I’m sharing is not medical advice—just my personal story of walking through abortion recovery and what I’ve learned along the way. Always seek help from a licensed professional if you’re struggling.
That said—let’s get started, and I pray this episode brings clarity, comfort, and hope to your heart.

It’s time for another guest interview—and this one is extra special! 🎉 Today, I’m joined by my husband, John, for a candid conversation we’ve been wanting to share for a while.
Since we just released an episode on telling your spouse about your abortion, I thought this was the perfect time to bring John on and let you hear things from his perspective. In this episode, we talk about:
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.
Let’s dive in! 💬💛

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.
