ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, I’m talking about how to support clients authentically without slipping into the therapist role, trauma-dumping, or feeling like you need to “fix it.”
You’ll hear:
Why clients bringing “life stuff” into nutrition coaching is a good thing (and how you can prepare for it)
How a strong coach-client relationship impacts engagement, retention, and outcomes
What to do with your own emotions so you’re not carrying your clients’ stress at night
How to resist the “righting reflex” (aka the urge to give advice) and facilitate values-aligned action instead
When and how to set (or reset) boundaries and scope of practice, including how to bring up therapy support in a way that builds trust
If you’ve been feeling unsure about what to say when clients are overwhelmed by the news cycle, politics, human rights issues, or personal crises… this one will help you show up with more steadiness and skill.
