Summary

Amanda Kingsley is a Certified Life Coach and Doula, and the host of the Speaking Light Into Abortion podcast. After her own unanticipated abortion as a mother of three, she recognized the need for a wider conversation around mental health and the complex emotional landscape of life after abortion. She reminds her audience that it’s okay to feel all the feelings after abortion and that we can honor our decisions by living the life we made our choice for. Amanda and I set out to have this conversation in November of 2021. But a series of life events kept pushing out our recording date. How serendipitous that we would end up recording this just days after Roe vs Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court. It was hard to have this conversation as we were both still processing what this means for us - as citizens, women, and moms. But this conversation has never been more crucial. I am so grateful to Amanda for showing up and speaking up in the middle of this devastating season. Listen in to hear Amanda share: The story of her abortion when she was already a mom of 3 Myths and truths and things we often don’t consider about abortion Some of the privileges she carried during her abortion experience Permission to hold joy and pain simultaneously when enduring hard times What she learned about abortion that she could only learn by going through it herself The expansiveness that came out of her abortion experience How she realized that 60-65% of women who have abortions are already moms and the anger that brought her Who should be speaking up about abortion right now Links mentioned: Take my Shameless Summer Survey and win $100 gift card: shamelessmom.com/survey Connect with Amanda: amandastarkingsley.com Amanda on IG Amanda’s Book: What I Wish: 100 love notes to help you survive, come alive, and thrive after abortion Amanda’s Podcast: Speaking Light into Abortion Sponsor info and promo codes: Please find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/ Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
