Overcoming Fight, Flight, and Freeze to Attract Clients Effortlessly

February 16, 20251 min read

Have you ever felt frozen before hitting “Post” on social media? Or spent hours on busywork that doesn’t get clients? That’s not a lack of motivation—it’s your nervous system responding to perceived threat.

In my 30-minute video, I share how to spot these patterns—and break free. But first, let’s understand what’s happening behind the scenes…

The 4 Stress Responses Blocking Your Client Flow:

  1. 🥊 Fight: Overworking, over-posting, and proving yourself—leading to burnout.

  2. 🏃 Flight: Avoiding the real actions that bring clients—like direct offers or follow-ups.

  3. 🥶 Freeze: Staring at a blank page, overthinking every post—then doing nothing.

  4. 🤝 Fawn: People-pleasing on sales calls—agreeing to ‘think about it’ without guiding the conversation.

A New Approach: Work With Your Nervous System, Not Against It

Instead of forcing through these responses, I teach my clients to soothe their system and then take action. Here's how:

Pause for Heart-Based Breathing: Calm your system in seconds.
Shrink the Action: Can’t post? Just comment. Can’t go live? React to a post.
Celebrate Micro-Wins: Confidence grows with every small step.

One of my clients, who froze at the thought of posting on social media, started by liking others’ posts. Within weeks, her engagement increased, and she attracted clients—without ever running an ad.
