The Efficient Coach

As an online coach, supporting your clients through emotional challenges is one of the most rewarding aspects of the job.

But what happens when the constant flow of emotional demands leaves you drained, overwhelmed, and teetering on the edge of burnout?

In this episode, we’re diving into the emotional cost of coaching and why burnout should never be the price you pay for being a great coach.

You’ll hear about:

• The subtle signs that you’re heading toward emotional burnout as a coach.

• Why setting boundaries is crucial for your energy, your business, and your ability to show up for your clients.
• How to reframe emotional support as part of your job—without letting it take over your life.

This isn’t about avoiding tough conversations or stepping away from your clients. It’s about learning to protect your energy, set boundaries, and thrive in your role as a coach.

Whether you’re a new coach just starting out or a seasoned pro who’s feeling the weight of constant demands, this episode will help you rethink how you manage the emotional side of your business.
