Mindset Coach Nikki Sammet’s Journey With Neurodiversity, Motherhood & Aligning To A New Normal

The Goodwin Social

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.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

- How Nikki’s Instagram account for her dog changed her career and informed her coaching style

- How to find the right coach for your needs

- The difference between therapy and coaching

- Nikki’s initial reaction to her son’s developmental delays

- Undoing the internal biases and stigma of autism

- How Nikki plans on combining her coaching style with her passion for autism advocacy
