Manage episode 407410763 series 3560537
Psychologist and mindset coach Nikki Sammet joins me today to talk about how she empowers her clients to achieve their goals and unlock the keys to knowing themselves better. This same philosophy is also at the center of how she supports her three-year-old son who was recently diagnosed with autism.
Nikki walks us through how she identified her son might be on the autism spectrum and early interventions that have been helpful. Her son's diagnosis transformed her perspective on motherhood and business, inspiring her to be an advocate for other parents of children with special needs.
In our conversation, Nikki emphasizes how important it is to reframe challenges as opportunities for growth and shares advice for any parents who are processing the complicated feelings that come with their child’s autism diagnosis.
