269: Abortion And The Murky Undercurrents Of Your Past
Every now and then I get an email from a Shameless Mom that just blows me away.\xa0A couple weeks ago I got one such email \u2013 detailing a mama\u2019s struggle with her current relationship with an addict and her past decision to terminate a pregnancy.\xa0\nWhat was so overwhelmingly touching about this email was that a lot of the email was about how HAPPY this mama is.\xa0That 96.34% of the time she is extremely happy, caring, empathetic, and grateful.\nBut then there was the admission that, \u201cthe murky undercurrents of my past sometimes swirl with the polluted storm of my present; and my sunny disposition is immediately overcast by a darkness so ominous and pensive, that I fear I\xa0will\xa0suffocate under all the darkness......\u201d\nI asked this Shameless Mom if I could share her story and do some processing on this episode and she so kindly agreed.\xa0\nTo any mama who has struggled to make peace with your past or is currently struggling to find peace in the present, this is for you.\nLinks Mentioned:\nResource: Design Mom Gabrielle Blair speaks on abortion\xa0\nThank you to our sponsor:\n\nLola: Get 100% organic tampons delivered right to your door for 40% off.
