In this episode, Krista shares a simple, no-fluff way to define your ideal client—without getting lost in avatar exercises or overthinking demographics. You’ll learn the three core signals that make someone a great fit (and the red flags that usually create stress later), plus how to handle money objections without abandoning your boundaries. Krista also talks about why it’s important not to judge someone who isn’t ready yet—and how having multiple offer tiers helps you meet people where they are while still protecting your energy and income.
