How to Fire a Client

We’ve all been there. You see a specific client’s name pop up in your inbox and your stomach instantly sinks. The project is completely derailed, the boundaries are non-existent, and you are exhausted from trying to people-please your way through a toxic situation.

You know you need to pull the pin, but you’re stuck staring at a blank document, paralyzed by the fear of saying the wrong thing, getting sued, or ruining your professional reputation.

You don’t have to guess what to write. Take the exact, battle-tested breakup email I hit “send” on to walk away from a massive contract with my head held high, my sanity intact, and my delivered fees firmly in my bank account.
