You Get to Decide What it Means 18.12.2024 59:24
What I wish I had heard after my abortion: "You get to decide what it means." ☀️💛☀️ After abortion our thoughts can swirl cycle and torment us. Birth control can’t be trusted. People can’t be trusted. I can’t be trusted. Brains are always looking for a way to categorize and catalog our experience, but as clever as they are they don’t always have our best interest in mind. We get to decide; w...
You couldn't have been or done anything more 13.11.2024 1:02:43
What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “You couldn’t have been or done any more.” ☀️💛☀️ Everything that led you here was enough. Including you. You are enough. You did enough asked enough considered enough tried enough. I know this to be true because “enough” is a fallacy. Enough is a lie we’re all striving to achieve but the truth is there is no enough . It doesn’t exist. You couldn’t have...
Your Thoughts Will Change Over Time. 15.10.2024 46:37
What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “Your thoughts will change over time.” ☀️💛☀️ Time doesn’t heal all wounds. Emotional pain after abortion is sourced in our thoughts. What we think is what we feel. In time, thoughts change. Changing thoughts, changing feelings. Tend to the gift that is your mind. Your mind is where you will find peace; your mind is where you will find freedom. Your m...
It's Okay to be Uncomfortable 09.10.2024 52:23
What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “It’s okay to be uncomfortable.” ☀️💛☀️ Comfort is a beautiful thing: a resting place a being place. But not a growing place. Comfort doesn’t expand you. Discomfort is where you grow. Discomfort is a feeling and it’s meant to be a part of your human experience. We are designed to break open before we bloom. Abortion cracks us open. It reveals to us —...
Abortion Is How You Parented That Child 02.10.2024 48:54
What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “Abortion is how you parented that child.” ☀️💛☀️ Each of our children are here to teach us something. Our relationship is mutual. Some might tell you that your baby had no voice but they are mistaken. Souls who choose wombs marked Pregnancy NOT Desired know exactly what they are here for. Anyone who tells you otherwise does not give enough credit to th...
You're Not That Special 24.09.2024 44:22
What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “You’re not that special.” ☀️💛☀️ It’s true. And it’s great news. I know you feel alone. I know you feel unique. I know you feel different. But you’re not that special. Not in that way. The complexity of your feelings the loneliness the confusion it’s all normal and typical and expected. What will make you special is how you rise . Your strength your st...
Reunite With Your Body 17.09.2024 42:06
What I wish I had heard after my abortion: “Reunite with your body.” ☀️💛☀️ You lost touch when your mom told you you shouldn’t eat that third cookie at age ten. You lost touch when your friends in middle school had less belly in their bikinis. You lost touch when you told him NO and he fondled you anyway. You lost touch when all those fertility treatments failed. Or maybe you didn’t lose to...
What You Want Matters 10.09.2024 49:57
It mattered when you chose abortion and it matters now. What you want will always matter. Even when you don’t listen to it— it matters. There have been and will be times when what you want gets swept away in other people’s dreams other people’s fears other people’s beliefs but that does not mean anything about you. Be in a relationship with your own desire: get to know her play with her dance wi...
