Living Purposefully After Abortion
I recorded this episode from my car as I was thinking about all of you and how this community is evolving and will continue to evolve. We can't see our own growth if we don't look back and reflect on it, and we don't really grow if we're not stepping into the unknown and taking chances with our voices.
