Dietitian Values

Where do you figure in your business? Have you built a business that actually has space for you? Your needs, your wants? Or are you creating a space where everyone else gets included but you? Today I want to chat about that exact thing and offer up some prompts to reflect on your business, where it is now and where you want it to take you. Let's dive in. Show notes, links, mentions & tran...

Doing business differently needs to include joy...otherwise why are we doing it in the first place? If the work you do is in aid of building a 'better' world I'm guessing that vision includes joy too. So, today's episode is a reminder, if you need it, to find and make time for joy.  And once you do, a gentle encouragement to share it. Let's dive in. Show notes, links, ment...

If you've been overlooking your wins, the little day-to-day ones and the big picture ones, today's episode is a reminder to  take time to take stock and celebrate. Humans can tend to have a little bit of a negativity bias, so if celebrating your wins doesn't come easily know it's not you...and know that making an effort to shift and add in the celebrations has a myriad of impac...

Today I want to talk about the power of the pause.  And no, pausing is not a negative thing!! Urgency culture would have you filling all your time and all spaces and gaps to do, to act, to rush forward. The pause creates a space to ground into your values. The pause creates a space to respond from. How can you work with pauses that are thrust upon you from external forces? How can you build pauses...

In this episode I'm digging into social media messaging and some examples of where, when I've run things through my  own values filter, the mark has been missed. Hold onto your hats (your critical thinking hats hopefully!) for this one my lovely humans. This episode may make you feel some sort of way...but the intent is to get you curious and thinking about how you can use your own value...

If you're a human working with humans, you're working with trauma. So, how do you do that while doing less harm? And how do you do it across all areas of your business? Today I'm chatting to Katie Kurtz to discuss just that. Katie is a licensed social worker, coach and trauma specialist. Katie's work is redefining what it means to hold space through a trauma informed lens and b...

Diet culture is sneaky in many ways....especially in how it markets. The bad news is that traditional marketing and diet culture marketing are generally the same thing. The good news is that there is another way. Today I want to offer up an opportunity to bring your values based filter to your marketing and messaging to check for any diet culture tactics that might be sneaking in and support you t...

Is your business moving you towards the life you want to be living. Have you given yourself space or allowed the possibilities of dreaming into the life you want to be living, the business you want to be building. One way to do that is to think about your ideal day - in business and out of it. What are the non-negotiables, the joy fillers, the nourishing actions, the restful spaces? Putting aside...

Energy, mood, motivation - they all change over a week, month, year. But do you find yourself coming back to what feels like the same place, the same feeling? Have you ever zoomed out to look at how what's happening seasonally and cyclically inside and outside of you impacts on how you show up in your business? Today's episode is an invitation to get curious, build awareness and use that...

Do you struggle with perfectionism?  You’re not alone. Especially in the dietetics & nutrition field!

Jess is a US-based registered dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor who splits her time between a smal...

Do you get stuck looking for the 'right' way to take action, the 'right' way to say something, the 'right' way to move forward in your business? Today I'm talking about how there is, in fact, no one 'right' way and offering up a few thoughts on challenging this common perfectionist way of approaching things with a way to reframe things and a few questio...

Does imposter syndrome come up for you? What if I told you that imposter syndrome wasn't a 'you' problem. That it is in fact a social and cultural programming to keep you from showing up, to keep you stuck in feelings of  not being good enough. In today's episode I'm talking about just that. And offering up a reframe to support you to ditch the imposter syndrome  and it&ap...

Today I want to invite you to consider your enough. Enough, to me is a space of contentment - and while that's not the usual marker thrown around in traditional business I feel it's a good starting point for a values based definition of success. A point of discernment. So, what is your enough and how exactly can it be used to build more alignment in your business? Let's dive in. Epi...

Today I'm in conversation with Naureen Hunani a multiply divergent Registered Dietitian from Montreal, Canada.

Join us as we chat about accepting difference, centering lived experien...

This is a big question holding so many dietitians (and other health professionals) back from getting started in business. It also holds many people back from actually moving their business beyond the 'scraping by' setting. Can you relate? If so, you're not alone. Today I want to talk about my take on this: spoiler, the short answer is yes - but you'll have to listen in for the...

Self trust is a business strategy. If you work as a nondiet dietitian (or any helping professional) you are probably supporting the humans you work with to trust themselves and their bodies around food. That same self trust is important around you and your business. How do you build it? How do you show up with trust in yourself? How exactly does it support your business? That's what we'r...

Goals are important...but they're only useful if they take you somewhere you actually want to go. Whose goals are you working towards in your business? What are they in aid of? Do they support  your version of success? And are they taking you where you want to go? In today's episode I'm offering an invitation and space to figure out the answers and move you towards values based goal...

It's too easy to fall to the bottom of the to do list when you run your own business. In today's episode I want to chat about the importance of scheduling you first and extending the values in your business towards you, the business owner too.

If you interact with other humans in any way in your business - clients, collaborators, partners, staff - then you will be interacting with trauma and its impacts. A human centered business is a trauma informed one. There is lots of research and documentation to support and outline how to be trauma informed in the clinic room and around service provision. But when I went searching for how to be tr...

Where do you want to go? What's your big picture dream? Business can get us swept up in the tactics and details, which are important. AND I think it's also important to dream, to think of the big picture and the vision you have for you, the business you want to run and the humans you want to work with - and that's what we're chatting about today. 'Dreaming, after all, is a...

In today’s episode I’m talking all about the importance of relationships for your business - with the humans you want to work with, your collaborators, your support crew and, most important and often most overlooked, yourself. Let...

Today I’m offering up some questions and prompts for reflection, sharing my redefinition process and offering up a loose guide to support you to do the same. Let’s dive in. F...
