In this short and powerful episode, coach and podcast host Patrick Fox shares the one piece of advice that transformed his approach to coaching: you don’t have to fix anything.

Patrick knows how tempting it can be—especially in the beginning—to jump in with solutions, strategies, and suggestions.

But what if the real power of coaching comes from not doing that?

Tune in as Patrick explores why holding space, resisting the urge to fix, and trusting your clients to find their own answers is not just powerful—it’s essential.

If you’re a new coach (or even a seasoned one who still battles the “fix it” reflex), this one’s for you.

Patrick Fox is a life and sobriety coach who helps men stop drinking and take back control of their lives. Through his coaching, podcast, and workshops, Patrick supports entrepreneurial and high-performing men to break free from the cycle of alcohol, reconnect with their purpose, and build a life they don’t need to escape from.

As the host of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick explores the mindset, emotions, and beliefs that keep people stuck in drinking habits, with over 200 episodes and 260,000+ downloads. Known for his direct and honest approach while offering powerful reframes, Patrick blends psychology, personal experience, and practical coaching tools to create lasting transformation.
