Finding out you’re pregnant is not always good news. When I saw those two lines on the pregnancy test, I felt like time stood still. I had my whole life ahead of me. I couldn’t believe I had let this happen.

For this week’s episode, I’ll be sharing my personal story of being 19 and pregnant, and I’ll be getting deep here because I believe in the power of transparency.

But beyond being vulnerable, I hope that my story lets you in on something important. There are not a lot of places where we can have conversations about unexpected pregnancy. So consider this a safe place for us to have those conversations on everything from relationships, jobs, crazy parents, all of it!

Here's where you'll find some of the highlights:

• [01:07] A little backstory. My childhood, my mom passing away, hanging with the wrong crowd, using hard-core drugs, so a lot of trauma. 
• [02:31] Moving to Massachusetts. Bought my first snow scraper, made some not-so-great friends, got into a relationship.
• [02:54] Finding out I was pregnant. All the emotions and thoughts, going to an abortion clinic.
• [04:00] Telling my dad. Our relationship was in a rough spot. This is the phone call I had with him, his response, and what I decided to do.
• [06:20] To the single moms, birth moms, maybe you've had an abortion, you are not alone. 
• [06:35] Why am I dong this? There's power in vulnerability and community. This is a safe place to talk about it all. A preview of topics to come. 

I hope my story encourages you this week!
