Episode 18: The Day I Fired the Wrong Clients

What if the bravest business decision you could make… was to say no?

In this episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I share the raw truth about one of the scariest (and most freeing) parts of running a business: firing clients who aren’t aligned.

I take you behind the scenes of some of the hardest calls I’ve ever had to make, letting go of clients who didn’t share my values of trust, respect, loyalty, and integrity. Clients who micromanaged, distrusted, or drained the very energy I built my business to protect.

This isn’t just about business strategy.

It’s about boundaries.

It’s about freedom.

And it’s about remembering that not every door is meant to stay open.

In this episode, I share:

• The story of the first client I ever let go, and why it changed everything
• How misaligned clients can cost more than money (stress, energy, and joy)
• Why bigger contracts don’t always mean better business
• The power of protecting your peace, even when the decision feels scary
• The reminder that some doors must close for the right ones to open

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve ever felt trapped by difficult clients but were too scared to let go
• You’re learning to trust yourself in making hard business calls
• You want to build a business rooted in alignment, not just revenue
• You need a reminder that your peace is worth protecting
