Unseen Landscapes - Coaching through Aphantasia - with Sassy Smith
Show Notes

Sassy Smith is a revolution in the world of personal coaching and, in this episode, we discuss the growing awareness of Aphantasia; the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present. 

 As the founder of The Aphantasia Coaching Academy and a pioneering force in neurodiversity, she is transforming the way coaches approach their neurodivergent clients.

Her unique journey began in 2015 when she discovered that she has aphantasia, a neurological condition that prevents her from visualising images in her mind. This led her to unravel why she had always struggled with coaching practices centred around visualisation, and, more importantly, it sparked the mission to ensure that others like her could reap the transformational benefits of coaching.

 With an extensive background in leadership, coaching, women's health and  specialising in aphantasia, SDAM, anauralia and alexithymia, she offers a unique perspective on neurodiversity that is backed by personal experience and research.
