71 | What Is Post Abortion Syndrome and How Do I Know If I Have It?

Do you ever notice certain times of the year when sadness hits you—and you’re not even sure why?

Do you feel anxious around babies or pregnant women? Dread your yearly doctor’s exam? Struggle with anger, anxiety, eating disorders, or self-harm?

And… have you experienced one or more abortions in your past?

If you said yes to any of these, you’re not alone. You may be dealing with something called Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS)—a term used to describe the emotional and psychological aftermath that many women silently suffer after abortion.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about:

• What PAS is

• How to recognize the symptoms

• Why your grief is real—and valid

✨ Before we begin, please know: I am not a mental health professional. What I’m sharing is not medical advice—just my personal story of walking through abortion recovery and what I’ve learned along the way. Always seek help from a licensed professional if you’re struggling.

That said—let’s get started, and I pray this episode brings clarity, comfort, and hope to your heart.
