Shame is a heavy burden, but it’s not one you have to carry forever. In this deeply moving episode of the Starting Over Wealth podcast, host Tricia sits down with Tonya Bailey Jones, a fellow faculty member at the Redefining Wealth Institute and author of Pearls in the Pew. Together, they open up about the silent struggles many women of faith face after abortion—the weight of guilt, the battle against negative self-talk, and the isolation that often follows.

Tonya shares her personal journey of healing, the power of self-forgiveness, and how women can reclaim their identity and worth in God’s eyes. This conversation is a powerful reminder that grace is greater than shame and that you are never too far from God’s love. Tonya’s book, podcast, and resources serve as a lifeline for those seeking healing and restoration.
