You're scrolling LinkedIn, seeing other dietitians crushing it while you're wondering if you made a mistake choosing this profession. You look at your career and think, "How did I end up here?"

Ever catch yourself daydreaming about setting your own schedule, choosing your own clients, and getting paid what your services are really worth? You're not alone. So many dietitians tell me they want to start their own private practice, but they're stuck wondering if it's actually possible to make real money in the first year. Maybe you're tired of asking permission to take time off, exhausted from workplace politics, or frankly just over feeling undervalued despite your expertise. The thought of having your own private practice sounds amazing, but then reality hits - the overwhelm of not...

EP.359: Why Confidence is Your Most Profitable Business Asset (And How to Build It)
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
Picture this: You're scrolling LinkedIn and see a post from a dietitian with 15+ years of experience, multiple certifications, and incredible client results. She's talking about her private practice, but then she says something that makes your stomach drop: "I hope $150 per session isn't too much to ask for my services. I don't want to be greedy." Fifteen years. Multiple certifications. Life-changing client transformations. And she's apologizing for charging what a new personal trainer charges for a single workout. If this scenario makes you cringe, you're not alone. But if it makes you cringe...

Ever find yourself sitting in your car after another frustrating workday, wondering how someone with your education and expertise can feel so... stuck? That voice in your head saying "there has to be more than this" is recognizing that you have so much more to offer than your current role allows. Maybe you've been feeling like your clinical job is slowly draining your passion for nutrition. You know you're meant for more, but the thought of leaving that steady paycheck has you frozen in place. Here's what I want you to know: wanting to be paid what you're worth isn't greedy, and feeling...

Sometimes the most powerful move is admitting when you've been playing small. Today, I'm revealing my own journey with imposter syndrome and why I'm changing this podcast back to its original name: "Make More Money as a Dietitian." This is NOT about going backwards; it's about finally having the courage to own what we've always been about. Because here's the truth: every conversation about money is really a conversation about self-worth. Every struggle with pricing is actually a battle with confidence. And every time you undervalue your work, you're letting imposter syndrome win. Through raw...

EP.355: Money, Meaning & Self-Worth: Healing Your Relationship With Abundance
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
Okay, let's talk about the money elephant in the room. You know that awkward tug-of-war happening inside you? The one between genuinely wanting to help people and also needing to, well, pay your bills? Yeah, that one. Look, I get it. Most of us got into nutrition because we care about people, not because we were chasing big paychecks. But here's the thing – I see way too many amazing dietitians extending sessions without charging, answering texts at 10pm, and feeling straight-up guilty about raising their rates. Meanwhile, they're financially stretched and burning out fast. In this episode,...

So many of us find ourselves checking all the boxes of "success" while still wondering if we're on the right path. In this episode, we dive deep into what I call the "clarity crisis" – that frustrating experience of being technically successful but fundamentally confused about what you actually want. I'm sharing my own journey from scattered success to aligned clarity, and why getting clear on your values isn't about limiting your options – it's about liberating your energy to flow in directions that actually matter to you.

EP.353: Breaking the Burnout Cycle: The Science of Nervous System Regulation
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
Your nervous system secretly controls your business decisions, money mindset, and client relationships. In this episode, I'm calling out the high-achiever myth that you can power through dysregulation and still create sustainable success. Let's get real: as high-achieving health professionals, we've normalized pushing through stress like it's a badge of honor. But what if that constant hustle is actually sabotaging the very goals you're working toward? What if your physiological state is secretly driving your money decisions, relationship patterns, and even your capacity to show up as the...
info_outlineHey there, my friends! Welcome back for another Mindset Minute. Today, I want to dive into a topic that's central to our lives: our work. Your job isn't just a way to pay the bills; it's an integral part of your life plan, deeply intertwined with your unique set of skills, talents, and strengths. When you align your work with these core values, the rewards go beyond just financial gain – there's a profound spiritual fulfillment that comes from doing what you love.
But how do you identify what truly matters to you? It starts with introspection. Take a moment to reflect on what ignites your passion. Are you driven by a desire to help others, or do you thrive in leadership roles? Understanding your strengths is crucial here, and a fantastic tool for this is StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath. By recognizing and embracing your strengths, you pave the way for a more purposeful and fulfilling career.
So, here's a mantra to carry with you this week: "I do what I love every day."
Now, I invite you to reflect: How can you find more passion for your current life? How can you find more passion for what you're doing right now?
Wishing you a beautiful day and an abundance-filled week ahead!
