Ep 118: The Hidden Shame: Breaking Free From The No/Low Contact Stigma
Feeling judged because your adult child has chosen distance? You're not alone. In this raw and honest episode, Kim addresses the painful stigma surrounding low and no contact relationships with grown children.
From judgmental comments at the grocery store to family members who don't understand, the shame and isolation can feel overwhelming. But you don't have to carry this burden alone.
Kim shares four practical steps to protect your heart while navigating others' opinions: leaning into faith and forgiveness, shifting your internal narrative, finding safe support, and setting healthy boundaries around difficult conversations.
If you've ever felt invisible at family gatherings or dreaded questions about your kids, this episode is for you. You'll discover that the judgment says more about others' discomfort than your worth as a mom. Your value isn't measured by your relationship status with your adult children - you are inherently worthy.
