A Personal Story on the Choice Chat Podcast

In this poignant episode of Choice Chat, we share Stephanie’s deeply personal and powerful story of navigating motherhood, loss, and the decision to have an abortion. Her reflection is a testament to the complexities of reproductive choices and the long road to understanding and reclaiming one’s voice.

Stephanie never imagined she would make the decision to end a pregnancy. Yet after enduring multiple miscarriages, navigating the depths of secondary infertility, and raising three children, she found herself facing a choice that tested every layer of her being. Her story explores the toll on mental health, the strain on marriage, the role of family, and the quiet strength it takes to choose yourself—especially when the world might not understand.

Stephanie’s words remind us that abortion isn’t just a political issue—it’s a human one. Her vulnerability opens space for others to feel seen, heard, and less alone.

If her story resonates with you, we invite you to listen—and if you’re ready, share your own.

Episode 3 – Beyond the Procedure: What Does an Abortion Doula Do?

Together, they explore how doulas provide logistical help, emotional care, and advocacy — reminding us that abortion is healthcare, and it’s about real people, not debate topics.
