Ep. 94 You Can’t Convince Your Clients to Change (and That’s Not Your Job)


Listen Later

If you’ve ever wanted to shake a client and say, “Just trust me... eat more food!”… this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, Eve breaks down one of the toughest truths in coaching:
You can’t convince your clients to eat more, stop dieting, or change habits they’re not ready to release.
Because real change doesn’t happen through convincing, it happens through readiness and self-accountability. 

Eve shares why logic doesn’t override fear, how to recognize when a client isn’t ready to change, and how to shift from pushing harder to coaching smarter.
This is your reminder that you’re not failing as a coach, you’re working with real humans who need more than macros and motivation.

 

You’ll Learn:

  •  Why fear of change often trumps facts and data
  •  How diet trauma and “chronic deficit” thinking keep clients stuck
  •  What readiness to change really looks like (and how to assess it)
  •  The difference between carrying your client’s accountability and coaching it
  •  Practical ways to guide resistant clients toward trust and consistency
  •  Why your job isn’t to “fix” clients — it’s to help them find clarity and ownership
  •  

    Key Takeaways:

    •  You can’t push clients into readiness; you help them build it.
    •  Self-accountability is a skill not a trait and it has to be practiced.
    •  Convincing doesn’t create compliance. Clarity does.
    •  Clients don’t change when they understand what to do they change when they understand why it matters to them. 
    •  As a coach, your boundaries and systems protect both your energy and your impact.
    •  

      Quote from Eve:

      “Logic doesn’t override lived experience. Fear is louder than facts. You can’t convince clients to change, you can only meet them where they are and guide them toward their own evidence.”
