Dietitian Values

I'm often talking around these parts about resting and pausing. Slowing and grounding. BUT..... When is it time to push? Is there a time to push? Short answer - yes.

It doesn&ap...

What does living a rich life look and feel like to you? This is a term coined by Ramit Sethi and it's all about getting clear on your priorities and the things you love so you can spend money on them and live your rich life now. And I think it aligns with a values aligned way of being - money is a resource, a tool - so you can get clear on your values and the things you values and put your re...

'We are planting seeds for a forest we may never get to spend time in' Ada Conroy Go forth and sprinkle ALL the seeds. They may not all germinate...but also, maybe they will.

For the 100th episode of the dietitian values a friend suggested I chat about my story - what brought me to where I am and how I do things.

Words are not used or defined either neutrally or objectively. The values of the culture and systems we are part of can be found liberally applied to the words we use and by extension how we feel about them, ourselves, our actions and outcomes. In business (and life) 2 such words are success and failure. In today's episode I want to take these words back to their origins and offer up some tho...

Does selling your services leave you feeling some sort of way? If so, this one's for you. I'm offering up a reframe that I use and that I share with the humans I support to reconsider how you think about letting folks know how they can work with you.

Humaning feels hard right now - overwhelming and heavy. I believe we are at a turning point. The systems we are part of are pulling us (and in some cases pushing us) back to business as usual. BUT perhaps amongst all the feels of the past 3 years you had a taste of life lived in a different way. A glimpse of life outside of hustle and grind. Or, perhaps amongst all the feels of the past 3 years yo...

Accountability. It's a word that gets thrown around a lot. It's something that many entrepreneurs are looking for. But what is it that you are really looking for when you go searching for accountability. What needs are you looking to be met. I'll be honest... Accountability. I hate the word, as I hate hell and all montagues...(any R&J fans out there?). I digress. Let's chat...

You're a values driven person, a values driven practitioner and you want to be a values driven human in your business... BUT perhaps you find it tricky or unclear to do any of the following: -  Get your values out of your head and your felt sense of them and into a form you can articulate - See a clear path to embedding your values into your business - Do business things with your values lead...

PSA: if you do things differently, with the same values in place you'll get the same results. Until you get clear on your values and embed them into the very foundation of your business and all the rest nothing will change. Well, that's not entirely true - you will move towards either burnout or someone else's version of sucess. If you feel like you need more time, money, clients, s...

That's exactly what w...
