What if the toughest decision of your life could lead to profound personal growth? In our latest episode, we engage in a heartfelt conversation with Amanda Kingsley, a life and after-abortion coach, who opens up about her deeply personal and multifaceted reproductive health journey. Amanda shares her story of navigating planned and unplanned pregnancies, challenging pregnancies and childbirths, and the emotional labyrinth of abortion, offering listeners a rare and compassionate insight into the complexities of reproductive choices.
Join us as Amanda offers a raw and honest look into her experiences, from a planned home birth that turned into a hospital induction to enduring 17 weeks of bed rest during a challenging pregnancy. Her tales of unexpected twists and the need to let go of control are not just about her personal journey but are reflective of the broader human experience in dealing with life's unpredictability. By examining these pivotal moments, Amanda’s narrative underscores the profound lessons learned and the personal growth that comes with facing such challenges.
Throughout the episode, we touch on the societal pressures and the nuanced feelings that surround abortion decision-making. Amanda bravely addresses the often unspoken realities, such as the illusion of choice in difficult circumstances. This conversation emphasizes the need for compassionate and open discussions about abortion, recognizing the emotional and ethical complexities involved. Amanda’s courage in sharing her story highlights the importance of brave, albeit imperfect, conversations in fostering deeper understanding and empathy.

Each woman’s medical course of action is individual and may not appropriately transfer to another similar situation. Please speak to your medical provider before making any medical decisions. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that evidence based practice evolves as our knowledge of science improves. To the best of my ability I will attempt to present the most current ACOG and AWHONN recommendations at the time the podcast is recorded, but that may not necessarily reflect the best practices at the time the podcast is heard. Additionally, guests sharing their stories have the right to autonomy in their medical decisions, and may share their choice to go against current practice recommendations. I intend to hold space for people to share their decisions. I will attempt to share the current recommendations so that my audience is informed, but it is up to each individual to choose what is best for them.
