Brooke Martin's story captivated me after I saw it shared on social media months ago. She's a local news anchor in Indianapolis, so many people are used to seeing Brooke's face and hearing her cheerful voice on TV. Most of us were not prepared for the news she shared about her personal life, when she and her husband published a video talking about a fatal diagnosis for their unborn baby girl. Viewers watched the initial video and then followed Brooke's pregnancy journey, as she continued working on TV nearing her due date. As you'll hear in today's episode, she already knew baby Emma wouldn't survive long past birth, if at all. So how did she do it? How did Brooke share her journey so publicly, continue working and become a symbol of … [Read more...]
Pro-Life Feminist in Action: Destiny Herndon De La Rosa on the Border
Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa is so compelling to listen to. Get her started about being a pro-life feminist and you’ll just want to keep asking questions — so I did (which is why this interview is so long!) She’s not your average pro-lifer. The girl balks at political Parties (she’s an Independent), doesn’t go to church (“agnostic”) and is pro-life from womb to tomb — focusing on everyone from the most vulnerable unborn babies to men on death row to the men, women and children in detainment camps in the border right now.

No More Shame: Recovery Advocate Ryan Hampton is Changing the Face of Addiction
Ryan Hampton spent nearly a decade addicted to opioids. He also worked for the Clinton White House, had a good family and education. He wasn't the type of person you might expect to become addicted to drugs. But what we've learned in the past few years is that addiction can affect anyone. It doesn't matter your race, class, sexuality, background -- addiction doesn't discriminate and if you are wired for it, it's nearly impossible to escape once it begins. But Ryan did escape. And he did far more than that -- he has built up a powerful movement of recovery advocacy that attempts to remove the stigma and shame associated with addiction, and put a face of humanity back on victims. Only four years sober, Ryan has already written a a … [Read more...]
