I’m so incredibly proud of this. My work is all about getting rid of shame and stigma, and this tells me that it’s working. There’s nothing wrong with having abortions, and I’m proud of you!
From Rogan’s podcast:
me, since 2018:
I have a self compassion exercise in my upcoming book, The Abortion Companion (coming fall 2025!) where I ask you to write a note to yourself talking about your abortion with the same care you’d give to a friend. Here’s a paragraph from mine:Â
You were so afraid of what might happen if anyone found out that you didn’t talk about it for 5 whole years. But now I see you talking about your abortion on the internet for everyone to see literally every day! Which I just have to say is one of the most radical shifts you could’ve made. It’s clear that by helping other people feel okay about their abortions, you healed a big part of yourself. I wish you had known then what you know now - it would have made things so much easier on you.Â
Don’t forget to check out my trusted abortion resources page - bookmark it and share it with a friend!
