Sometimes your clients don’t need a fresh start, they simply need to learn how to start from where they are.

On today’s show, Julia explores how the language of “getting back on track,” “falling off,” and “starting over” can unintentionally reinforce shame, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing thinking.

Instead, she shares how coaches can help clients approach changes in their routines with curiosity, self-compassion, and intentionality.

She walks through a simple framework for helping clients recognize where they are, normalize the changes that happen throughout different seasons of life and rebuild realistic routines to reframe the way they approach their goals moving forward.

So tune into today’s Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 455 to discover how helping your clients start from where they are, not from where they think they should be, can create a more sustainable, empowering, and personalized approach to health and wellness.

Enjoy the show!
