    3 Ways to Stop Attracting Clients Who Drain Your Time and Energy
    Feb 15 2026
    If you’re a coach and your business is technically working, but still feels heavier than it should, you’ll recognise this straight away. Bad clients. The ones who drain your energy, question everything, push back on the work, and somehow take up more space than the clients who actually pay well. We all get them… and yes, they’ll probably always exist. But there are ways to get in front of your ideal clients, and stop the bad clients in their tracks. In this episode, we break down how to use your content to naturally repel the wrong people, pre-qualify leads before they ever get on a sales call, and confidently say no when someone isn’t the right fit (and sometimes with a genuine thank you at the end). You’ll hear: 0:00 - Our personal updates - Tim’s new car and a poop robo vacuum emergency 7:12 - Creating content that repels bad clients and gets you in front of your ideal audience 10:40 - How to get in front of premium clients without sounding like someone you’re not 13:15 - Are your ideal clients not on Instagram?
