Melissa Ohden sits down with Libby Owens, Executive Director of St. Joseph Pregnancy Resource Center in Missouri, to share a heartfelt conversation on navigating life's deepest losses and finding purpose in supporting women facing unexpected pregnancies. Owens opens up about her own path—marked by sibling loss, infertility struggles, and the joy of late-in-life motherhood—that fueled her passion for compassionate care. Together, they explore the transformative changes in pregnancy centers since Roe's overturn, from empowering women with facts and reversal options to tackling challenges like the abortion pill's accessibility. Owens offers raw insights on fostering open dialogues, providing healing for post-abortive women, and the simple power of listening in crisis. A must-listen for anyone seeking to understand real support beyond rhetoric.
