Transcript
In your memoir, you open up about your abortion in your late twenties. I know that you also wrote, which I think is so important to point out because to women who are listening to this, this is probably a very, very relatable feeling of the shame and embarrassment that you were feeling leading up to the procedure and the loneliness. Right? If you could go back, what kind of empathy or just kindness do you wish you could have shown yourself in that moment? It took me a long time to forgive myself, not for having the abortion. I really knew that that was the right choice for me. But it took me a long time to forgive myself for getting pregnant. I learned a lot about myself, about what was going on for me mentally and emotionally that I allowed that to happen. It really invited me to figure out how to stand up for myself and my boundaries more, how to be more honest with myself in the moment.
