We chat about: - human centred supervision - going beyond the label of dietitian - pushing our edges and challenging our comfort - scope of practice in changing profession - brining our humanity into our work and all that brings up - kindness vs niceness - and so much more Fiona Suthe...

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...

What exactly is capitalism? How is it different than commerce?  Where do values come in? Can you have a business if you don't like capitalism?

The business space - especially online and coaching focused - can be very noisy. It's easy to feel constantly bombarded with advice, how to's and the next shiny thing to try. It's also easy to feel confused, overwhelmed, and stuck in inaction. So, how do you quiet the noise? How do you find the advice and information you need to take values aligned action? That's exactly what w...

Busy-ness is worn as a badge. It's culturally and socially put up on a pedestal. If you're busy then you are doing things, going somewhere right? Right?!! Why are we so encouraged to get swept up in urgency mode? Who benefits when you are focussed on moving forward and doing more? And what if busy-ness is merely a distraction.  What are you rushing towards? If you're rushing to &apo...

As the calendar moves forward into another year there’s lots of planning going on. And potentially a lot of thoughts around change and doing things differently. In today’s episode I’d like to invite you to consider things from a slightly different angle. Instead of asking ‘what do i need to change in 2023?’ how about simply asking ‘what do I need in 2023?’. I’m chatting needs, wants, changes, slow...

As we round out the final week of 2022 - also known as 'what day is it' week I want to share what's up for 2023 around here at Dietitian Values.

And I'll touch on how I'll be acting into both those words (yes, spoiler, I chose more tha...

Are you finishing up the year feeling overwhelmed, stressed, burnt out or a little bit of all of them? You're not alone.  Often there is a lot of pressure internally and externally at this time of year. A lot of expectations and a lot of arbitrary 'end dates' to things as the calendar inches towards the end of year. In today's episode I'd like to offer up a few invitations...

Planning doesn’t have to be a one size fits all approach…in fact it might not even be a supportive approach for everyone and might not even be necessary for every business. Today's episode is part 4 of a series on planning (see show notes for all episodes in the series) and we are diving into some overarching thoughts and things to hold when it comes to planning. Doesn’t sound like your typic...

The origins of the word plan are in connection with clarity and making things clear. And of course we now think of planning as a highly structured and rigid thing. So, how do you plan in a values aligned, humanity including way? That's exactly what we are chatting about in our episode today. And I'm offering up the concept of rhythms over rigidity as you approach planning for the year ah...

' Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities . Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning' Gloria Steinem This episode we dive back into planning through a non-typical angle - dreaming. If the type of business and way of showing up in the world doesn't already exist then it's up to you to dream into it. So, before you put pen to paper on...

Do you know your numbers? No, not your followers, likes or website traffic, your financial numbers. This is often an area that many health professionals would rather avoid. But knowing your numbers lets you know where you are and sets you up to dream into the plan of where you want to go. In today’s episode we cover: Knowing your expenses, ALL the expenses you need to consider beyond the obvious C...

Because the reality is that traditional marketing is not designed to ‘do less harm’. I’m offering up my thoughts and some questions and prompts for you to use in reflection around this.  Also g...
