you can't take control of your clients results

As a coach, counsellor, or healer, it’s natural to want your clients to experience the big, beautiful and sustainable healing. I mean, it makes sense to want that, you pour your heart into your work, offering your knowledge, skills, and support to guide them toward the life they desire. But here’s the thing… you cannot control your clients’ results.

This truth can be hard to accept, especially if you deeply care about your clients. But their progress is ultimately in their hands. Your role is to provide tools, guidance, and a safe space for growth, it’s not to carry the weight of their results

It’s tempting to feel responsible if a client doesn’t achieve the outcome they hoped for. Maybe they didn’t take the steps they committed to, or life got in the way of their efforts. But this doesn’t mean you failed. Clients are on their own unique journeys, and those journeys might include lessons that unfold differently than expected.

The work we do isn’t about fixing people or guaranteeing results, it’s about empowerment. You’re there to hold space, to offer insights, and to walk alongside your client, not to carry them. Their healing, growth, and success come from their willingness to show up, take action, and face what needs to be faced.

When you let go of the pressure to control outcomes, you free yourself to show up more fully and authentically in your work. You can then focus on what you can control - your presence, your integrity, and your ability to guide with compassion.

And lastly, trust that your clients are exactly where they need to be. Sometimes, the seeds you plant will bloom later than expected. Sometimes, the growth isn’t visible right away. But every session, every conversation, every moment of connection has the power to create lasting impact, even if it’s not immediately clear.

If you feel yourself deeply connected to your clients' results and want to let that go, let’s chat about my biz mentorship. I teach you the strategy, but most importantly, I teach you the mindset and the energetics for being in biz.

With love & support,
