The Confident Coaching Podcast

responding to client freak-outs over slow progress


Listen Later

When a client starts freaking out about their lack of progress, it’s rarely about the progress. It’s about what they’re making it mean.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • Why clients spiral even when they “know it’ll take time”

  • The real reason adjusting macros or reminding them of consistency isn’t working

  • How to validate emotion without getting stuck in emotional reasoning

  • What empathy actually looks like in coaching

  • Why trying to support fat loss and relationship with food at the same time often backfires

You’ll learn how to shift from fixing the frustration to actually addressing what’s underneath it — and how that one shift can help your clients get unstuck, stay consistent, and trust the process.

🎙️ “When we don’t validate the fear underneath the frustration, our clients stay stuck in all-or-nothing thinking — or worse, they bail.”
