As coaches, especially if you're a mindset coach, something we don't talk about enough is what to do when our clients come to us with objectively bad circumstances and thought work doesn't seem to be helping.

I'm sharing why it's okay to let your clients hold onto their thoughts about how their situation sucks, and I'm showing you how to communicate effectively with your clients when they feel like they're just stuck in a bad situation.
