    EP 95: Emotional Eating, Sales Call Scripts and Client Check-In Questions (Q&A Part 2)

    A client can have hyper-positive check-ins every single week and still be struggling through an entire month without telling you. In part two of this live Q&A, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas gets into why that happens, what coaches are accidentally doing to make it worse, and what to do instead.   In this episode, she covers: Why calling a client an 'emotional eater' (or letting them call themselves one) makes the behavior harder to change, and the difference between overeating, binge eating, and binge eating disorder that every coach needs to knowThe check-in question coaches think is supportive that actually puts the wrong responsibility on the wrong personHow to identify fixed mindset in clients through their language instead of telling them they have it (and why telling them never works)What to do when a client feels unworthy, shuts down, or says 'I don't know' to every question about her self-worthThe rocks analogy for prioritizing when a client has too much going on and coaching time is limitedHow to get clients to name specific emotions instead of just saying 'good' or 'bad' (including when to use a feelings wheel)  If you've ever thought you and your client were fully aligned on a plan, just for them to fall off track anyway, the gap between those two moments is exactly what this episode is about.   Resources Mentioned: EP 49: Understanding Stress and Emotional EatingEP 50: Use This Tool to Combat Stressful SnackingEP 58: Drawing the Line: Fitness Coaching and Mental Health CounselingEP 6: What to do When a Client Feels "Not Enough"EP 36: The 4 Best Types of Questions to Ask Your Coaching ClientsBinge Eating vs. Over Eating (IG Post)  Connect with me on Instagram!    Grab 5 Free Lessons in Mindset and Behavior Change Coaching [HMCC WAITLIST]   LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

    EP 94: Don't Tell Your Clients They Have a Fixed Mindset (Q&A Pt. 1)

    This Q&A session was so good, we had to bring it to the podcast! Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas takes real questions from coaches and breaks down the moments quietly making or breaking client results. Unsupportive partners, scale obsession, meal prep struggles, and the fixed vs. growth mindset conversation: she brings her psychology background to the actual coaching challenges you're facing. In this episode, she covers: Why clients who lack support from family or a partner struggle more than you think, and how the conversation that hasn't been had yet is usually the real problemHow to use reflection and motivational interviewing when a client keeps missing meals and blaming it on a busy weekWhy celebrating small wins for your clients instead of helping them celebrate their own wins is creating a dependency you really don't wantHow to help a client shift her fixation on the scale without scrapping her weight goal altogetherWhy directly telling a client they have a fixed mindset will backfire, and what Kasey does instead If you've ever felt unsure how to coach through a mindset block without naming it out loud, this episode has the practical language you're looking for.   Episodes Referenced: EP 90: 5 Coaching Strategies for More Consistent ClientsEP 52: When Clients Care ONLY About Weight Loss  Connect with me on Instagram!  Grab 5 Free Lessons in Mindset and Behavior Change Coaching [HMCC WAITLIST] LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

    EP 93: What to Do When Clients Won't Answer Your Questions

    What do you do when you can't figure out what your client actually needs? Coaching alone is hard, and without peer review or a space to troubleshoot tricky client scenarios, it's easy to feel stuck, uncertain, or like you're missing something important.   In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas and co-host, Sarah Tierney, pull real questions from HMCC students and alumni about challenging client situations. From clients who struggle with open-ended questions to moments when coaching feels more like a sounding board than a strategy session.   In this episode, you'll learn: How to navigate when you can't tell if a client has a knowledge gap or a self-efficacy issueWhat to do when clients struggle to answer open-ended questions (and why offering multiple-choice guidance can be a game-changer)How to address red-flag language from clients without making them feel judged or shamedAnd so much more!  If you've ever felt directionless with a client, unsure what question to ask next, or wondered "am I even helping?", this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to troubleshoot real client scenarios more effectively.   Episode #33: What to do When a Client Ghosts You   Connect with us on Instagram:  @coachkaseyjo @sarahmichelletierney   Grab 5 Free Lessons in Mindset and Behavior Change Coaching [HMCC WAITLIST]   LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

    EP 92: The Science of Not Giving Up (And How to Coach It)

    Your client falls off the plan. You tweak the plan. They fall off again. In this episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down why changing the plan isn't fixing the problem, and what's actually going on underneath it: psychological flexibility. Research consistently links it to better outcomes in weight loss, exercise adherence, and emotional regulation, and it's one of the most overlooked skills in coaching.   In this episode, she covers: What psychological flexibility actually is (and what it's not)The research linking psychological flexibility to better client outcomesThe six core processes from the Acceptance Commitment Therapy model and how to apply each one in coachingThe specific language patterns that signal a client is psychologically inflexible, including "just tell me what to do," "if I can't do it perfectly why bother," and "I'll start over Monday"How to reinforce flexible behavior when it's already showing up in your clientsWhy reconnecting clients to their values is what makes discomfort meaningful instead of just hard  If you've ever had a client who looked motivated, said all the right things, and still couldn't follow through, this episode is for you.   Connect with me on Instagram!  Grab 5 Free Lessons in Mindset and Behavior Change Coaching [HMCC WAITLIST] LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

    EP 90: 5 Coaching Strategies for More Consistent Clients

    Have you ever watched a client fall off track and chalked it up to a lack of motivation? What if that's not actually what's going on? Clients who can't seem to stick to the plan might have nothing to do with motivation and everything to do with this: lack of discomfort tolerance. The process of behavior change requires staying resilient when things get uncomfortable, and this is something coaches are almost never taught how to help their clients build. Until now. In this episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down the real reason clients struggle to stick to the plan and shares practical strategies coaches can start using right away. She covers: Why clients don't struggle because they don't know what to do (they struggle because they can't tolerate the discomfort that comes with doing it)The research behind self-efficacy, stress mindset, and psychological flexibility and why it all matters for behavior change5 coaching strategies to build discomfort tolerance, including urge surfing, stress reappraisal, and reflective debriefingThe coaching mistakes that accidentally keep clients stuckIf you want to help clients push through the hard stuff and actually see results that last, this episode is for you.   Connect with me on Instagram!  Grab 5 Free Lessons in Mindset and Behavior Change Coaching [HMCC WAITLIST] LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

    EP 89: Momentary Restriction [Coaching Tool] with Sarah Tierney

    You've heard this before: "If you don't want to be tempted to eat it, then don't have it around". But is this really an effective strategy to use with your clients? In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas and co-host Sarah Tierney break down a powerful coaching tool: momentary restriction (also known as abstinence sampling). With this tool, the goal isn't to take away the foods that your clients crave forever, but instead bring more awareness to the behavior itself in order to change it. They discuss: Why awareness of current behaviors is step one before any change can happenWho makes a good candidate for this strategy (and who doesn't)How to present this tool so clients actually buy in and stick with itIf you want a practical, research-backed tool to help clients build self-awareness around challenging foods or behaviors, this episode gives you the framework to use it effectively.
