What does healing after abortion actually sound like?
Not the polished testimony.Not the “I’m fine now” version.But the real, in-process moments where truth is settling in, walls are coming down, and God is gently meeting women right where they are.
In today’s episode, I’m doing something a little different.
I’m inviting you to listen in on a real snippet from inside my Abortion Recovery Roadmap — a moment that captures what healing truly looks and sounds like when a woman finally allows herself to be honest, present, and open with God.
If you’ve ever wondered:
What happens inside an abortion recovery program?
What do women actually talk about?
Will I feel safe… or exposed?
Will this stir things up — or bring peace?
This episode gives you a glimpse.
You’ll hear the tone of the space, the compassion woven into the teaching, and the way God meets women not with pressure or shame — but with truth, tenderness, and invitation.
This episode is for the woman who:
Is curious about healing but hesitant to commit
Wonders if abortion recovery will feel overwhelming
Needs to hear what real healing sounds like before taking a step
Wants reassurance that she won’t be rushed, judged, or pushed
As you listen, notice what your heart does.Notice what feels heavy… and what feels relieving.Often, that response is telling you more than fear ever could.

What if the fear you feel about healing after abortion isn’t a sign to stop — but an invitation to lean in?
If you’ve ever felt the pull toward healing… and then immediately felt scared of what it might cost you emotionally, spiritually, or relationally — this episode is for you.
So many women want freedom but feel frozen at the thought of opening old wounds, facing buried grief, or risking disappointment. In today’s episode, we talk honestly about why healing can feel so scary, what’s really happening beneath that fear, and how God gently meets us right there.
I’m sharing my own journey — from how long I avoided abortion healing, to the nerves and spiritual warfare I experienced when I finally said yes, to the freedom I never imagined was possible on the other side.
You’ll hear:
Why fear often shows up right before breakthrough
What abortion healing actually requires of you (and what it doesn’t)
How avoidance keeps us stuck — but leaning in opens the door to freedom
Why opening your heart to God is essential for real healing
How making a simple but intentional commitment can change everything
If you’re listening to this and feeling a nudge — especially knowing you’ve been avoiding this for a long time — I want you to know you’re not behind, you’re not broken, and you’re not alone.

Do you ever wish someone would just hand you a map — a clear, step-by-step guide — to finally heal from your abortion and move forward in freedom with God?
If you’ve known healing is possible but felt completely stuck because you didn’t know where to begin, this episode is for you. Today, I’m sharing the exact healing map I wish someone had given me when I was overwhelmed, ashamed, and trying to do everything on my own.
In this episode, I open up about the years I spent wanting healing but refusing help, believing I had to carry the weight of my past alone. And then I walk you through the four foundational steps that make up a healthy, faith-centered abortion recovery journey — no secrets, no pressure, just a clear process you can start today.
You’ll learn:
Why healing begins with making a decision and partnering with God
How giving yourself permission to grieve opens the door to freedom
What it looks like to truly receive God’s forgiveness — and extend it to others
Why acknowledging and honoring your child’s life is a powerful part of healing
This episode is for the woman who’s tired of guessing, tired of spinning her wheels, and ready for a clear path forward. You don’t have to do this perfectly — you just have to start.
If you’ve been waiting for direction, this is your sign. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to walk this road alone. 🤍

Have you been feeling guilty about your abortion — or sensing a pull to finally address it — but you’re not sure where those feelings are coming from?
In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most confusing and important questions in abortion recovery: Is this shame… or is it conviction? Understanding the difference can change everything about how you heal, how you see God, and how you move forward.
I’m sharing honestly about the season when I believed my shame was coming from God — when I didn’t yet understand His grace or His character — and how that misunderstanding kept me stuck, hiding, and afraid of forgiveness.
You’ll learn:
The key difference between shame and conviction — and why confusing the two is so damaging
Why shame attacks your identity, but conviction invites you into healing
How the Holy Spirit uses conviction to lead us to repentance — not condemnation
The specific Scriptures that help separate God’s voice from the enemy’s lies
This episode will help you stop internalizing your past as your identity and start responding to God’s invitation with confidence, clarity, and hope.
If you’ve been unsure which voice you’re hearing, this episode will help you recognize truth, reject shame, and take the next step toward freedom. 🤍

Are you running from Jesus — even if you don’t realize it?
Sometimes running doesn’t look like rebellion. Sometimes it looks like staying busy, staying “fine,” or convincing ourselves we’ll deal with the pain later. In this episode, I’m sharing the moment that became a true turning point in my abortion recovery — the moment I stopped running from Jesus and finally turned toward Him instead.
I open up about my experience in a Bible-based abortion recovery program, the unexpected resistance that rose up in me when I was asked to be vulnerable, and the realization that changed everything: I wasn’t just hiding my grief from people — I was hiding it from Jesus.
You’ll hear:
What running from Jesus can look like after abortion
Why private grief often keeps us stuck instead of safe
How vulnerability became the doorway to real healing for me
Why surrendering your pain to Jesus — instead of carrying it alone — is what finally brings freedom
This episode is for the woman who wants healing but is afraid of what it will cost her emotionally. It’s for the woman who’s tired of running, tired of hiding, and ready to stop picking the pain back up after setting it down.
If you’re longing for peace, healing, and freedom, this episode is a reminder that Jesus isn’t asking you to perform — He’s inviting you to come closer. Healing is already waiting for you, friend. 🤍

If you’ve ever wondered why the thoughts before your abortion sounded so convincing — and the thoughts after sounded so cruel — this episode will open your eyes.
Satan has a script when it comes to abortion. He knows exactly what to say to get women into the clinic… and exactly what to say afterward to keep them trapped in shame, silence, and fear. Today, we’re exposing that script — and more importantly, learning how to shut it down.
In this episode, I share vulnerably about the spiritual warfare I experienced before and after my abortion, how the lies shifted the moment it was over, and why that pattern is not accidental. We talk about why shame is the enemy’s favorite weapon — and why it loses its power the moment it’s brought into the light.
You’ll learn:
How spiritual warfare shows up before and after abortion
Why the enemy moves from justification to accusation — and how that keeps women stuck
The two practical steps you can start today to shut shame down
How naming lies and replacing them with God’s truth leads to real freedom and peace
This episode isn’t about minimizing responsibility — it’s about understanding the battle you’ve been fighting and realizing that shame was never meant to be your sentence. Healing is possible. Wholeness is possible. And freedom is closer than you think.
If shame has been controlling your thoughts and stealing your peace after abortion, this episode will help you recognize the lies, reclaim truth, and begin walking in freedom again. 🤍

Does prayer feel pointless lately? Do you find yourself wondering if it even matters — or if God is listening at all?
If you’ve ever felt like God is distant, silent, or hard to reach after abortion, this episode is for you. Today we’re talking honestly about why prayer can feel ineffective and why God can seem far — even when you love Him and want a closer relationship.
In this episode, I’m sharing from my own spiritual journey and the seasons when God still felt distant, even after years of growth. Not from a place of condemnation or shame — but from understanding. We’re going to look at what might be getting in the way and, more importantly, what you can actually do to change that.
You’ll hear:
Three common reasons God feels far after abortion
Why distance doesn’t always mean abandonment — and what it often really points to
How shame, avoidance, and control quietly disrupt intimacy with God
One simple, practical step you can take this week to begin feeling closer to Him again
This episode isn’t about doing more or being perfect. It’s about starting where you are, stopping the hiding, and learning how to spend time with God in a way that’s honest, consistent, and life-giving.
If prayer feels hard, distant, or empty right now, this episode will help you understand why — and show you how to take the first small step back toward closeness with God. 🤍

Has it been years since your abortion — and now, out of nowhere, everything feels like it’s falling apart?
Maybe you spent a long time feeling “fine.” You built a life, deepened your faith, and convinced yourself the past was behind you. And then suddenly, the grief, guilt, and regret you thought you had dealt with come crashing in all at once. If you’re wondering how you’re supposed to survive today — let alone tomorrow — this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m sharing my own story of how the weight of unhealed shame and grief surfaced more than a decade after my abortion — during a run where God met me in a way I didn’t expect and didn’t understand at the time. I’ll talk honestly about the fear, confusion, and self-punishment I carried, and how major life moments have a way of bringing buried pain back to the surface.
You’ll learn:
Why it’s normal for abortion grief to resurface years — or even decades — later
How life transitions, loss, stress, and exhaustion can unlock unhealed trauma
Why your body and heart remember what your mind tried to forget
What you can actually do when the grief feels overwhelming and impossible to ignore
If you’ve ever thought, “Why now?” or “I thought I was past this,” I want you to know: you’re not broken, you’re not weak, and you’re not alone. There is a reason this is surfacing — and there is a path toward healing and peace.
If regret has found you again after all these years, this episode will help you understand why — and remind you that God’s grace is still sufficient for you. 🤍

Do you ever feel like God has gone silent because of your past? Like you’ve done the one thing that disqualified you from His presence, His blessings, or even His attention?
Friend, you are not alone — and you are not forgotten.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about the hidden way shame after abortion quietly sabotages your spiritual growth. I’m sharing vulnerably from my own prayer journals and the patterns I didn’t recognize for years — including how shame shaped the way I prayed, what I believed about forgiveness, and why I felt like God was always just out of reach.
You’ll hear:
Why shame doesn’t draw you closer to God — it keeps you stuck at arm’s length
The three most common lies women believe after abortion that block spiritual intimacy
Powerful Scriptures that directly confront the belief that you’re unforgivable, ruined, or forgotten
How God’s forgiveness is not fragile, conditional, or temporary — even after abortion
We’ll also talk about what it actually looks like to grow spiritually while you’re healing — not after you “fix yourself,” but right where you are.
You are not unforgivable.You are not ruined.You are not forgotten.
Jesus came to set you free — and this episode is for the woman who needs that reminder today. 🤍
