EP.374: The Final Lesson: What Money Was Really Teaching Us
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
After six years and 373 conversations about money, pricing, and professional worth, I'm going to tell you something that might surprise you: this was never really about the money. Every episode where we challenged limiting beliefs about what dietitians can earn, every conversation about raising your rates and owning your value, every deep dive into money mindset: all of it was preparation for something deeper. Something more essential than your bank account or your business revenue. It was about learning to trust yourself completely. And that's what this final lesson is about. In this...

EP.373: Why I Haven't Recorded in 3 Weeks (And Why That's Actually Perfect)
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
You know that feeling when someone disappears for a few weeks and your mind immediately goes to: "Are they okay? Did they give up? Is everything falling apart?" I haven't recorded an episode in three weeks. And honestly, I almost didn't tell you why. I just wanted to show up this week like nothing happened and keep it moving. But that's not how we do things here. Because what's been happening in these three weeks isn't what you think. I haven't been burned out. I haven't given up. And my business isn't failing. I've been in one of the most aligned seasons I've had in years. And it's looked...

EP.372: Start Before You're Ready
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
If you find yourself stuck in endless research mode, watching YouTube videos about starting a nutrition practice while your actual practice remains an idea, you're not alone. So many dietitians tell me they need to know exactly how everything will unfold before they take their first step. They're spending months creating business plans for practices that don't exist yet, researching software for clients they don't have, and perfecting websites for services they've never delivered. Maybe you've been telling yourself you need a perfect business plan, the ideal website, or complete certainty...

EP.371: You're Number One
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
You know that feeling when you wake up and your first thought isn't about your day, your dreams, or even your coffee, but instead it's about who needs what from you today? Your partner needs you to handle that thing they've been putting off. Your kids need you to solve their problems before they even head off to school. Your clients need responses to emails that came in overnight. Your team needs decisions. Your parents need check-ins. And somewhere in the back of your mind, there's this tiny voice asking, "But what about what I need?" And you push it down because there's no time for that...

EP.370: A Pause at 370
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
After 370 episodes of this podcast, I'm sharing what I've learned about building a business that honors both your ambitions and your humanity. Sometimes the most aligned thing you can do is pause, reflect, and show up honestly instead of perfectly. Today's episode isn't about strategy or tactics, it's about the real journey of creating work that serves your life, even when that means admitting you need a nap at 2 PM. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why showing up honestly beats showing up perfectly every time How rest and reflection are actually business strategies, not...

EP.369: The Life and Mindset Work Most Business Coaches Skip
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
Your nutrition clients always think they just need a meal plan, but you know the real work goes so much deeper. They need to address their sleep, stress, relationship with food, and maybe some family boundary issues. The meal plan is just one piece of a much bigger puzzle. The same thing happens with your business. You think you need a marketing strategy - a better funnel, a new social media approach, maybe some sales training. But what you actually need is to address the life circumstances and limiting beliefs that are sabotaging your success behind the scenes. Here's the truth I've learned...

EP.368: The Real Reason Business Coaching Isn't Working for You
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
You're doing everything "right" in your business, but still struggling to get where you want to be. You've bought the courses, hired the coaches, followed the frameworks to a T—and you're STILL not seeing the results everyone promised you'd get. Maybe you've even started wondering what's wrong with you, why everyone else seems to "get it" while you're stuck spinning your wheels. Here's what I've learned after working with hundreds of amazing dietitians: You're not failing at business. Business coaching is failing you by treating you like a machine instead of honoring who you are. If...

EP.367: Why Trusting Yourself is the Missing Link in Private Practice Growth
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
You're frantically preparing for client sessions again, convinced you need the perfect protocol and flawless notes to be "ready." I get it—so many dietitians tell me they feel unprepared, like they need everything mapped out perfectly before they can show up confidently for their clients. But here's what I know after working with hundreds of nutrition professionals: you're already more prepared than you think. That feeling of "I need to have it all figured out" is actually keeping you from accessing your greatest asset, your inner wisdom and professional intuition. What if I told you that...

EP.366: When Success Isn’t Enough
Make More Money as a Dietitian | Private Practice, Business Confidence, Career Flexibility, Financial Freedom
Ever look at your successful practice and think, "This should be enough"? You have everything you thought you wanted: steady clients, professional recognition, maybe even the financial stability you once dreamed of. But there's a persistent feeling that something's missing, a voice inside saying, "There has to be more than this." Maybe you find yourself going through the motions of your workday, checking off tasks that used to excite you but now feel routine. Or perhaps you catch yourself daydreaming about what else you could be doing with your expertise, your time, your one precious life....

EP.365: Why Your Years Of Experience Aren't Translating To Income (And How To Fix It)

Ever find yourself scrolling LinkedIn and seeing yet another post from a seasoned RD talking about financial struggles? You know the ones - "After 20 years in clinical nutrition, I'm still living paycheck to paycheck." Your heart sinks because you recognize yourself in their words. You may be that experienced RD, sitting there with multiple certifications, decades of knowledge, and a resume that should command respect and premium salary. Instead, you're making marginally more than the new grad who just started last month. You're handling the complex cases, training the newbies, and essentially...
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!
