**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 Part 2 of our mini-series on having hard conversations about abortion. 🙏
Last week, we talked about how to approach conversations with your pro-life friends. This week, we’re flipping the script and focusing on how to talk to your pro-choice friends about abortion—without burning bridges or compromising the truth.
We live in a culture where abortion can be one of the most divisive topics. But as Christian women who have walked through it personally, we’re uniquely positioned to share truth and compassion. Yes, the cost of abortion is real—and yes, so is the grace of God. 💔➝❤️
In this episode, I’m giving you practical tips for sharing your story, speaking truth in love, and navigating emotionally charged conversations without fear or defensiveness.
🎧 Tune in for:
What to say (and not say) to pro-choice friends
Why tone, timing, and tenderness matter
How to hold both truth and grace in your story
Encouragement for the woman afraid to speak up
You can’t control how someone will respond—but you can choose to show up with courage, love, and wisdom.
Let’s dig in!

I recorded this episode just over a month ago—so if it sounds like I’m speaking in “real-time,” that’s why! I wanted to capture my thoughts while they were still fresh and raw.
In this episode, I’m reviewing the powerful and captivating autobiography by Dr. Bernard N. Nathanson—the abortion doctor who became a leading voice for life after a radical change of heart.

We took a planned break during our retreat week… and then God extended it a bit longer than expected. 😅
In this episode, I’m sharing a few personal updates and how this pause became a sacred space for me to slow down, seek God intentionally, and listen for His direction on some long-prayed-over decisions.
He showed up. He spoke. And I finally have the clarity I needed. 🙌
If you’ve been in a season of waiting, questioning, or craving clarity, I pray this episode reminds you of the importance of rest—not just for your body, but for your soul.
🎧 Tune in for:
Why we took a break (and what happened during it)
How God met me in the stillness
Why rest isn’t optional for Christians
A word of encouragement if you're in the “waiting” too

Welcome to the FINAL episode in our Stages of Grief Series!Today, we’re exploring acceptance—the last stage of grief.
But what does acceptance really mean after abortion?Does it mean we’re “okay” now? That the grief is gone? Or that we believe abortion was a good thing?
Not at all. Grief doesn’t just disappear or get “outgrown.” It becomes part of us, and we learn to live and grow around it.
Acceptance means finding peace with your journey—even while holding the pain and regret.
Let’s dive deeper into what true acceptance looks like, so you can keep moving toward healing.

Summer is here—or at least, it’s basically summertime!
This season is meant for fun, relaxation, vacations, and soaking up the sunshine. We’re supposed to feel excitement and joy with the warmer days.
But maybe you’re not feeling that way right now.
Our family has definitely been through the wringer this past week, and when life feels heavy, it’s easy to get stuck in the doldrums.
If you’re struggling too, today’s verse is here to bring you a fresh dose of hope and encouragement.

Have you ever made a mistake or let someone down—and then tried to “make it up” to them?
Maybe you promised to be home at a certain time but were late, so you offered to make it right.Or perhaps you missed quality time with your child and promised a special treat to make up for it.
These are examples of bargaining—trying to restore peace when we know we’ve fallen short.
Though these everyday situations seem small, they reflect a deeper pattern many of us experience after abortion.
It’s common to feel like we have to pay penance or somehow “earn” forgiveness for our decision. While bargaining is just one part of the grief journey, it’s important to recognize it—and find a way to move beyond it.
I pray this episode brings you encouragement and hope as you navigate this stage of grief.
