Walk With Me Mom: From Burnout to Balance

01|Shedding Shame, Claiming Your Strength

Nicki Bradley

Hey, amazing moms! Welcome to the first episode of Walk With Me Mom: From Burnout to Balance. I’m Nicki, your friend and fellow autism mom, here to share the real, raw moments of this journey. Whether you’re folding laundry or stealing a quiet moment, I’m so glad you’re here.

Today, we’re tackling shame—those heavy moments when a meltdown in the grocery store feels like every eye is judging you. I share a personal story of feeling like I’m failing my son, plus practical ways to push back against shame and claim your strength. 

What You’ll Hear:

- How shame hits us during public meltdowns and why it doesn’t define you.

- A practical tip: Write an affirmation like “I am enough for my child” and say it daily.

- Faith encouragement from Psalm 139:14: You and your child are wonderfully made.

- Ways to connect with your child in tough moments, like a hug or silly laugh.

Takeaways:

- Shame is a liar—you’re showing up, and that’s enough.

- Use an affirmation to shield your heart.

- Lean into faith: Pray, “God, remind me who I am in You.”
