Why You Keep Attracting the Wrong Clients (And How to Stop)

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep ending up with clients who drain you, disrespect your boundaries or just aren’t the right fit, you’re not alone. In this blog, I’m sharing the real reason we attract the wrong people and how to shift your energy, messaging and mindset to start calling in the clients you actually want to work with.

Let’s be honest we’ve all had those clients.

The ones who don’t respect your time.

The ones who second-guess everything.

The ones who leave you exhausted even if the invoice was paid.You didn’t wake up one day and decide, “I want to attract clients who drain the life out of me.”

But it keeps happening. And it’s not random.

Here’s the truth: you don’t get what you want. You get what you energetically tolerate.

And if you’re subconsciously sending out signals of “I’ll take whoever,” or “I need this sale to feel safe,” guess who shows up?

The clients who match that energy.

It’s Not About Blame — It’s About Awareness

This episode was a juicy one because we pulled back the curtain on why this happens. And no, it’s not just about your pricing or niche.

It’s about:

  • The energy behind your marketing

  • The subtle messages you’re sending in your content

  • The boundaries you’re not enforcing (because part of you thinks saying no is “mean”)

We also talked about that sneaky part of us that thinks being available to everyone is the “spiritual” or “kind” thing to do.

Spoiler: it’s not.

Being clear and boundaried is actually the most respectful thing you can do — for you and for them.

How to Start Attracting the Right Ones

Start by getting brutally honest with yourself.

Who are you really here to serve?

Not just who you can help — but who lights you up?

Who feels easy to work with, expansive, energising?

Then ask: is that who your content and messaging is speaking to?

Or are you trying to please everyone, water yourself down and hoping someone “nice” bites?

Start filtering. Start saying no.

You’re not here to be chosen by everyone.

You’re here to stand in your energy so your people can find you.

Because when you get clear on who you're here for and start showing up like you mean it those wrong-fit clients quietly disappear. And the right ones? They show up ready, respectful and already sold on your magic.
