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.

Why do I feel like I betrayed myself… or God? Why does this feel deeper than sadness?

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.   🚨 Ready to begin real healing after abortion?

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 🤍   Get in Touch with Kari:  The Well Podcast thewellteam.com IG: @karidavis_thewell   🚨 Ready to begin real healing after abortion?

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.   Episode Resource:  What is the Unpardonable Sin / Unforgivable Sin?   🚨 Ready to begin real healing after abortion?

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.

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.

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.

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.   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

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. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

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. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

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. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

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. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

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. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

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. 🤍   🚨 Ready to take your first step toward healing after abortion?

What happens when God redeems every part of your story—even the chapters marked by shame, regret, and loss? In this powerful and hope-filled episode, I sit down with Crystal Allen—a Christian entrepreneur, wife, mom of three, and grandmother of seven—who bravely shares her journey of faith, failure, forgiveness, and healing after abortion. Crystal opens up about her life as a business owner alongside her family, running a home renovation company together for the past three years. But beneath the success story is a deeper testimony—one marked by growing up in a strict religious environment, seasons of rebellion, a difficult early marriage, and a decision that would later weigh heavily on her heart. Crystal vulnerably shares her experience with abortion, the regret that followed, and how God gently led her through post-abortion healing. Through faith, surrender, and forgiveness, she discovered that her story was not beyond redemption. This conversation is filled with hope for any woman carrying guilt, shame, or fear after abortion—and for anyone wondering, “Does God really forgive me?”   Connect with Crystal: Instagram: @thrifty_cab YouTube: The Thrifty Cab Facebook: The Thrifty Cab   ✨ Ready to begin your healing journey?
