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

Have you ever felt like you deserve to suffer after your abortion?
Maybe you know God forgives you… but deep down, you still punish yourself through shame, anxiety, self hatred, fear, emotional numbness, or refusing to fully move forward.
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.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I can’t forgive myself.”
“I deserve this pain.”
“If I stop hurting, does that mean I stopped caring?”
“God could never fully redeem me.”
…this episode is for you.
Together, we’ll unpack 5 biblical reasons you can stop punishing yourself and begin walking in the redemption Jesus already paid for on the cross.
This conversation is compassionate, honest, scripture-rooted, and filled with hope for the woman who feels emotionally exhausted from carrying shame alone.

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.

Ever feel like you should keep going—even when everything in you is telling you to slow down?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a little behind-the-scenes of why the podcast has been quiet lately (longer than I planned after Lent!)… and what God showed me in that space.
We’re also diving into 3 spiritual benefits of rest—because rest isn’t just a break… it’s actually a biblical invitation that can draw you closer to God, not further from your calling.
If you’ve been feeling stretched, behind, or unsure if it’s “okay” to pause—this episode is for you 🤍

If you’ve noticed the podcast has been a little inconsistent lately, this episode is a quick life update straight from the heart.
Over the past several weeks, life inside our home has been full of some twists and big decisions that shifted my usual rhythms more than I anticipated. While I love showing up here consistently for you, sometimes life simply asks us to slow down, regroup, and adjust.
In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes update on what’s been going on lately, why the podcast schedule has looked a little different, and what this season has been teaching me about grace, priorities, and trusting God with your plans.
Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is pause, reset, and remember that God is still in control.
Thank you for being here, for your grace, and for continuing to walk this journey with me.

What if the reason you’re still struggling after your abortion isn’t just emotional… but moral?
So many women assume what they’re dealing with is grief.Or regret.Or trauma.
And yes — those are real.
But there’s another layer that often goes unnamed.
It’s called moral injury.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about:
What moral injury actually is
Why it affects so many Christian women after abortion
How it differs from “just” emotional pain
And how to know if this is what you’re experiencing
If you’ve ever thought:
Why can’t I just move on?
Why do I feel like I betrayed myself… or God?
Why does this feel deeper than sadness?
This episode will help you put language to what’s been sitting heavy on your heart.

If you’ve ever sat in church hoping someone would acknowledge abortion…If you’ve wondered why this kind of pain feels invisible in Christian spaces…If you’ve questioned whether your church even knows how many women are silently carrying this trauma…
This episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, we’re naming something that desperately needs light: abortion trauma is real—and for many women, the silence in the Church makes it heavier, not lighter.
I’m sharing a personal moment that still stands out to me years later—when a single sentence from my pastor changed everything. He said the word “abortion” from the pulpit, and instead of shame, it was followed by Jesus-filled hope. Even though I wasn’t physically in the room, I felt seen, known, and reminded that redemption includes me, too.
But I know many of you can’t relate to that experience.
The reality is this:
Around 70% of women who choose abortion identify as Christian
Roughly 40% are actively attending church
And well over 60% of women experience negative mental health effects afterward, regardless of how they felt about their abortion at the time
This is not rare. This is not theoretical. And it’s not something we can afford to keep ignoring.
In this episode, we talk honestly about three common reasons churches often avoid the topic of abortion—and why those reasons can unintentionally deepen the wounds women are already carrying.
You’ll hear:
Why abortion trauma is often left out of church conversations—even when it’s present in the pews
How silence can unintentionally communicate shame, even when that’s not the intent
The difference between avoiding pain and actually offering healing
Why acknowledging abortion doesn’t make the church “political”—it makes it pastoral
How Jesus-centered truth creates safety, not condemnation
My heart in this episode isn’t to criticize the Church—but to invite compassion, courage, and clarity. Healing begins when we stop pretending this pain doesn’t exist and start bringing it into the light with Christ at the center.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from your body… this conversation is for you.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kari Davis, a natural wellness advocate, life coach, and host of The Well: Health & Wholeness Podcast. Together, we talk about whole-body healing—not just emotionally or spiritually, but physically too—and how small, intentional shifts can bring real relief to overwhelmed women.
Kari shares how her journey into natural wellness began unexpectedly when her son was sick, leading her to essential oils and eventually into a calling to help women simplify their health, reduce toxins, and reconnect with God’s design for healing. After walking through profound grief with the loss of her husband, Kari learned firsthand the importance of self-care, boundaries, movement, and faith as tools for restoration.
This episode is a gentle reminder that healing doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive, and that your body and emotions are deeply connected.
In this episode, we cover:
Why emotional and physical health cannot be separated
How movement (even walking) supports mental and emotional healing
Practical ways to manage overwhelm and anxiety through lifestyle changes
The hidden toxins in everyday household products—and where to start eliminating them
How essential oils support emotional regulation and self-care
Simple, affordable swaps for natural cleaning and fragrance
Why “putting in the good” helps push out the bad—mentally, emotionally, and physically
How faith, Scripture, and gratitude anchor healing during grief and hard seasons
Kari also shares encouragement for the woman carrying shame, guilt, or grief—reminding us that God is a God of resurrection, new beginnings, and daily renewal. You are not behind. You are not failing. And healing is still possible—one small step at a time.
This episode is for the woman who wants to feel better in her body 🤍
The woman who feels anxious and inflamed—physically or emotionally 🤍
The woman craving a simpler, healthier, faith-centered life 🤍

Have you ever wondered if abortion is the one sin God can’t forgive?
If you’ve carried the fear that you’ve gone too far… that you’ve done something permanent and unforgivable… you’re not alone. This question comes up again and again in abortion recovery — and it’s one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck in shame, silence, and spiritual distance.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what the Bible actually says about forgiveness, the so-called “unforgivable sin,” and why abortion does not put you beyond God’s grace. If you’ve been afraid to hope, afraid to believe forgiveness is really for you, this episode is for you.

What happens when the secrets we carry finally come into the light?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kristina Joy Robertson, and together we share an honest, faith-filled conversation about healing after betrayal, shame, and the choices we never thought we’d talk about out loud.
Kristina bravely shares her story of walking through a seven-year affair that began during a season of deep grief after miscarriage. What started as a coping mechanism slowly turned into an addiction—one she couldn’t break without help. Through counseling, accountability, and a powerful retreat experience, Kristina reached a turning point that led to confession, surrender, and spiritual renewal.
Together, we talk about the temptation to stay hidden, the fear of telling the truth, and the freedom that comes when we finally choose the light.
This episode is for the woman who is asking: Can God really heal this? Is forgiveness possible after what I’ve done? What if my story disqualifies me from peace, love, or purpose?
We cover:
Why forcing healing doesn’t work—and how surrender changes everything
The spiritual and emotional cost of secrecy and shame
What confession, counseling, and community actually look like in real life
Rebuilding trust with yourself, with God, and in your relationships
How faith-based practices like Scripture, journaling, and prayer support deep healing
Why your story—no matter how messy—can become a source of hope for others
We close the conversation with a shared heart for creating safe, faith-centered spaces where women can stop hiding, start healing, and remember who they are in Christ. 🤍
You are not too far gone. 🤍
You are not defined by your worst decision. 🤍
And you do not have to walk this road alone.
