She Called Me Crying β€” Then Quit Her Six-Figure Career 😳🎧

Loading player...
What if the biggest problem in your life is the one you've learned to tolerate?

In this episode of Meet My Business, host Hendrik Baird sits down with clarity coach Nicci de Wet du Toit, who describes herself simply as "a deep listener" β€” someone able to hear what people don't say, and to help them see the blind spots standing between them and the life they actually want.

Nicci shares the story of a senior professional who called her in tears, unable to reconcile her outward success with an inner sense that something wasn't right β€” and what happened after Nicci refused to let her simply "hang on." She also opens up about a client in his late sixties who, after decades of uncertainty, found the courage to be honest about who he is. Along the way, Nicci talks candidly about the early struggles of building a business she could barely put into words, what she wishes she'd known when she started, and why she believes almost every person deserves the chance to be truly, deeply heard.
