EPISODE 6: Can You Fire a Client Without Getting Sued?
In Episode 6, Cory breaks down one of the most common (and emotionally charged) legal questions wellness entrepreneurs face:
“Am I allowed to fire a client who’s disrupting my space?”
You’ll hear two case studies: one retreat leader was able to remove a dangerous guest without refund thanks to a strong participant agreement, while another studio owner was forced to negotiate a costly settlement because they didn’t have the right contract in place.
This episode outlines when you can legally terminate a client relationship—and how to protect yourself, your team, and your other clients by setting clear boundaries in your agreements.
Whether you run a studio, host retreats, or offer coaching packages, this episode gives you the legal foundation to enforce expectations without fear of backlash.
Key Takeaways
✔️ Why “open and honest expectations” are the key to enforcement
✔️ The single clause that gives you the right to terminate without refund
✔️ What happens when you don’t have a signed agreement
✔️ How proactive law protects your space, your staff, and your energy
