In this episode, we’re diving into an emotion that quietly steals progress and resilience - self-pity. It’s the feeling we often don’t want to admit, but one that can weigh heavily on our hearts.

As autism parents, we navigate medical systems, fight for support, weather meltdowns, and carry our children through storms most can’t imagine. That’s not weakness - that’s strength. We don’t need pity from others, and we definitely don’t need to turn it inward.

Together, we’ll unpack what self-pity really is, how it shows up in our thoughts (“Why does my child have to struggle so much?”), and most importantly, how to step out of it and into empowered, grounded action.

This episode is a gentle yet honest reminder that you are stronger than you think - and you are not alone.

In this gentle episode, we explore how something as simple as a walk can become a powerful tool for autism parents facing overwhelm and emotional fatigue. From navigating diagnoses to managing meltdowns, the daily challenges are real—but so is your capacity to find peace. I’ll guide you through my walking practice and introduce you to three types of walks—the Silent, the Friendship, and the Learning Walk—each designed to help you reconnect, recharge, and rediscover calm.

The Challenge:
So here's my invitation to you—join me for a 30-Day Autism Parent Walking Challenge. For the next 30 days, commit to a consistent walking practice. Share your journey in our Private Facebook Group (@livelifeinspiredautism), where we’ll support one another and celebrate self-care as a non-negotiable part of our lives.

Take a breath. Let’s take a walk together.

Today, we’re shining a light on something many of us quietly carry—the feeling of not being good enough. If you’ve ever heard that whisper in your heart, know this: you are not alone, and you are more than enough.

When someone asks how you are, don’t just say "fine"—say amazing, say fantastic! Even something as simple as clean drinking water is a reason to celebrate.

Together, we’ll explore how this belief sneaks into our lives as autism parents—and how, with a little awareness and a lot of love, we can rise above it and reconnect with the incredible strength already inside us.
