In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most emotionally charged moments in coaching…
That moment when your client is spinning.
You’ve coached them on this before. They “should” get it. But they’re stuck.
They’re spiraling in confusion, asking questions, doubting, avoiding, not implementing.
And you’re wondering: Is it me? Is it my coaching? Is it my IP? 😩
This episode is about what to do instead of panicking, blaming yourself, blaming your client, or dumping more strategy into the session like it’s going to put out the fire (hint: it won’t).
We talk about:
- The real reason your client keeps spinning on the same concept (and what to do about it)
- Why strategy is not the antidote to resistance
- How overcoaching can actually keep your client stuck
- The meaning of embodiment (no, it’s not just a vibes word) and how to coach for it
- Why information is never enough—and what transformation really requires
- What to do when your client “doesn’t get it” (without making it mean something about you)
- How to build your own safety so you can hold space for theirs
- The identity gap: how to recognize it, coach through it, and become the coach who knows how
I’m also giving real-life examples of how I used embodiment to go from a struggling coach in 2020 to a six-figure coach in 2021—starting with how I showed up before I ever hit my goals.
This episode is for you if…
✅ You’re afraid of what happens when a client doesn’t get it
✅ You’ve been trying to out-strategize your client’s resistance
✅ You’re coaching yourself through imposter syndrome before every session
✅ You want to be the kind of coach who can sit in the messy middle with a client and walk them through it powerfully
✅ You’re ready to stop treating confusion like a problem and start seeing it as the path to transformation
Whether you’re brand new to coaching or have been in this work for years, this is the stuff that separates surface-level coaches from transformational ones.

P.S. The coaching industry isn’t going anywhere, no matter what AI does. Why? Because strategy can’t replace safety. And there’s no tech on earth that can hold belief the way you can.
