What do you do when a client wants to stop coaching before they finish?

In this episode, Cody shares a real situation from his coaching practice where a client—who was actually doing well—decided he wanted to step away before completing the full program. What followed was a thoughtful and intentional response that ultimately led the client to reconsider and finish what he started.

This conversation goes beyond just “saving a client” and gets to the deeper issue: identity.

You’ll hear how Cody approached the situation by calling the client into alignment with who he said he wanted to be, rather than trying to convince or pressure him to stay. Maria expands on this by highlighting the role of integrity, values, and self-perception in decision-making.

If you’ve ever had a client question the value of continuing—or felt unsure how to respond in that moment—this episode will give you a practical and powerful framework to handle it with confidence.
