YOU’RE NOT THEIR SAVIOR- What if your client’s lack of progress doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong? In this episode, we’re untangling the false belief that a client’s outcome is your responsibility. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “fix” someone or guilt when results don’t show up, this is your permission slip to breathe. You are not the hero of their story—you’re the guide. And that role is more than enough. If you’ve felt the weight of your client’s progress on your own shoulders, today’s episode is a reminder you need. You’ll hear truth, encouragement, and a gentle but clear boundary about what’s yours to carry: and what’s not.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- You are not responsible for your client’s outcomes—you are responsible for your coaching process and presence.
- Progress doesn’t always look like action. Holding space and planting seeds is powerful, even if fruit comes later.
- Releasing false responsibility helps you coach from peace, not pressure.
LISTENER CHALLENGE: Take five minutes to reflect on one client success story and write it down. Let it ground you in what’s true about your coaching and your impact. Then release anything you’ve been carrying that was never yours to hold.
