Walk With Me Mom: From Burnout to Balance

02|Facing Fear and Finding Peace

Nicki Bradley

Hey, amazing moms! Welcome to Episode 2 of Walk With Me Mom: From Burnout to Balance. I’m Nicki, your fellow autism mom, here to walk with you through the real moments of this journey. Grab your coffee or take a quiet moment—I’m so glad you’re here.

Today, we’re diving into fear—that heavy weight of the unknown many autism moms carry. I share the raw moment of learning my children’s autism diagnoses, the fear that my son might never live independently, and how I wondered, “Am I built for this?” We’ll talk about your fears too—maybe IEP meetings, new therapies, or your child’s future—and how to find peace.

What You’ll Hear

  • My story of grappling with fear after my kids’ autism diagnoses and finding hope in small moments.
  • A practical tip: Journal for 5 minutes daily, writing one fear and one moment of connection with your child.
  • Faith encouragement from Isaiah 41:10: “Do not fear, for I am with you.”
  • Ways to face fear with small, brave steps, like a hug or laugh with your child.

Takeaways

  • Fear doesn’t define you—you’re not alone in this journey.
  • Journal to name fears and find peace.
  • Lean into faith: God says, “I’ve got you.”
