“Meet your clients where they’re at” sounds like good coaching advice… but is it always?

In this episode, Jeremiah and Coach Natalie discuss the difference between supporting a client and enabling the same patterns that are keeping them stuck.

We talk through when a coach should take things slow, when it’s time to push harder, and why real progress often requires getting uncomfortable.

Because the goal of coaching isn’t to keep you where you are. It’s to help you change.
