Today's "Mindset Minute" is a reminder that setbacks in life can be opportunities for growth.   If you're in a situation that hasn't worked out as you initially planned, don't give up! Try and try again. Closed doors always lead to new opportunities, as long as you don't give up.   Your power isn't in how the situation played out, but in how you moved forward.   Ask yourself: "How can I embrace se...

Today's episode is part confession and part inspiration. It's also one that is long overdue.   Authenticity is one of my deepest core values, both personally and professionally. So much so that I infuse it into the work I do with my clients. But recently, in a therapy session, I realized that I haven't been fully authentic in how I show up.   This ends here and now.    Today on the Make More Money...

Today's "Mindset Minute" is a reminder that your negative thoughts can potentially prevent you from reaching your goals.   Worrying about things that you have no control of is unuseful. Although worrying pretends to be something we should do, it is a waste of your precious time and energy.   Instead of worrying about what could go wrong, celebrate what could go right.   Ask yourself: "What worry a...

Oftentimes, when we set business goals they can feel daunting and unrealistic. Especially if it's something we've never done before.   And when you're experiencing feelings of uncertainty in this way, you will likely take self-sabotaging steps forward. This is NOT a great way to make it to the finish line.    Today on the Make More Money as a Dietitian Podcast, Christine talks about the importance...

Today's "Mindset Minute" is a reminder that you are already abundant, safe & secure.   It's time to take care of your resources and focus on what you DO have. It doesn't serve you to focus on lack.   Instead, give your time to organizations or people you care about. This will help you feel more abundant and create a natural flow of resources coming back to you.   Remember, you're always safe and w...

How you think and how you feel about your current circumstances (whether it be personal or professional) will inevitably dictate your results.   There are so many reasons why this is true. And if you need proof, just do a simple assessment of where you are now in your RD career in comparison to where you'd like to be.    We're all a work in progress, my friends.   Today on the Make More Money as a...

Starting, growing, and sustaining a business is hard work. And it's supposed to be. Whoever said it would be easy lied.   Because it's hard work, it's not meant for everyone. But if you're reading this, it's likely meant for YOU.   It's okay for business to be hard. You will fail at a lot of things, and that's okay. This is how you grow! It's a beautiful thing to create something from your mind an...

If you've ever been taught that you're not responsible for your client's results, it's absolutely not true.   Unfortunately, there's a lot of people teaching this "theory" that states "You can't be responsible for your client's results, they have to show up and do the work for themselves." Again, that's absolutely false.   What is true is that people come to US to get the results they've been stru...

In the beginning, building your business is easy. But many of us make it harder than it needs to be because of social media and technology.   What if you didn't need to utilize social media, FB ads, or any of the other online systems, strategies, and platforms to grow your business? What if it could be a lot easier and more organic than what you currently believe?    While having access to "all of...

It takes more than hard skills and determination to achieve your goals - you also need a growth mindset. The way you think about yourself and your unique abilities will have a significant impact on your career and everyday life.   Adopting a growth mindset means you not only cope better but you actively look for opportunities for learning and growth (Dweck, 2017).     Today on the Make More Money...

Thoughts are not facts. It can be difficult to accept the idea that thoughts are not facts at first, especially when we are in the throes of an emotion. While we can have lots of emotionally charged thoughts, they are not all absolute truths. Recognizing the difference between fact and opinion can assist us in challenging the dysfunctional or harmful opinions we have about ourselves and others.  ...

There is still a gender pay gap between men & women and it's not narrowing fast enough to meet the rising costs of living each year. And even though the dietetics profession is comprised of over 90% women, we are still making less than our male counterparts.  According to a recent article in Forbes magazine, the gender pay gap is narrowing at such a slow rate that it'll be 2059 before we see equal...
