Nikki Sapp’s Struggles
It may sound like Nikki has blitzed through life going from one opportunity to the next. Born an extremely talented and gifted woman it may be easy to assume so. But, this is not the case and Nikki Sapp has inner demons that she has had to struggle with throughout her life.
First of all, her rocky relationship with her mother is something that has always plagued her. The two of them never had that mother and daughter bond and they had a very turbulent relationship.
Having Children
This gave her her own fears about having children. She worried that she may not connect with them and she may have the same difficulties with her own children. After the birth of her children she suffered from Postpartum anxiety. So, as a new mother experiencing these feelings she felt completely alone and helpless. She struggled with this as many other women also do navigating life as a new mother.
