  • [079] Are You a "Fixer" Dietitian?

    Jess Serdikoff Romola, dietitian supervisor and host of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast reflects this month on the topic of "being with" discomfort rather than jumping right into fixing mode. She discusses how dietitians are trained to be fixers by the profession and society, the consequences of gravitating toward fixing, and how to shift into a different state of mind for improved fulfillment as a dietitian.

          • [070] Life Isn't a Highlight Reel - November Reflections

            This month, I launched a new program -- and it did not exactly go as planned. In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing a really raw, honest look at how I took it. (Spoiler alert: not well.) I talk about what specific factors led to some extra susceptibility to imposter thoughts and a heightened emotional response, how I recovered, and what I'm doing to feel confident moving forward. If you can relate to this story, know that confidence is possible!
