Quotes:

“Compassion is about going out there and wanting to truly feel a person's emotions. Having compassion as a therapist is the difference between a great therapist and a good therapist.” 

“I love having the opportunity and access to be able to bring this information to people in a way that is FREE. Podcasts are free.” -Nikki 

“The first step is to understand your child and to understand yourself.” 

“If I do not know why I acted a certain way or why something triggered me, then I will not do anything about it.” 

“If I know myself, then my relationships are better, my work environment is better, and everything begins to flow as long as I have an understanding of myself.” 

“People need to understand that you don’t need to be broken to go to therapy.”

“I have no shame in the game when it comes to mental health. I am here to normalize it.” 

“What mindfulness teaches you through various techniques, including mediation, is how to be present.”
