Empowering Dietitians

In this episode, I discuss...

Dietitians feel underpaid AND undervalued in their work. I don't promise my clients fancy 5-figure launches or 6-figure profits; instead, I work with dietitians on overcoming their limiting beliefs, reconnecting their work to their values, and creating a career and life that fulfills them and makes them happy. It's time to live life on your terms - and no, you don't HAVE to be in private practice to do it. Learn more at www.empoweringdietitians.com or connect with me on Instagram, @empowering.dietitians.

In this episode, I chat with Jenny Westerkamp, the dietitian behind All Access Dietetics (AAD), a company she started during her own internship with a mission to support RD2Bes and current RDs in their professional journeys. We discuss...how to apply lessons from the internship to our actual careers; why all RDs, even those not in entrepreneurial roles, need to know how to sell themselves (and tips for my fellow introverts for doing it in less intimiating ways!), and why not getting your "dream job" isn't always a bad thing. In this episode, Jenny recommended two books - Success Principles by Jack Canfield and Loving What Is by Byron Katie, and we referenced a blog article I wrote for AAD, which you can read at https://www.allaccessdietetics.com/remaining-motivated-for-dietetic-internship-and-exam/. Learn more about AAD on their website, www.allaccessdietetics.com, or on Instagram, @allaccessdietetics. You can also connect with Jenny to learn more about her background in sports nutrition on her personal Instagram, @JennySportsRD. And if you're ready to dive into working on your confidence as a current dietitian, you can connect with me more on Instagram, @empowering.dietitians, or on my website at www.empoweringdietitians.com.

In this episode I discuss...the recent controversy over CDR's credential misuse policy; what state licensure has to do with the issue; and what to do if you're feeling frustrated with The Academy. Note, I do refer in this episode to the book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" and so there is a small section with explicit language in it. I give you a head's up when it's coming if you want to skip it! To read the full CDR misuse policy, refer to https://www.cdrnet.org/rd-use-misuse.

In this episode of the podcast, I'm chatting with Lauren Bickford, fellow RD, supervisor, and certified intuitive eating counselor. In this episode, we discuss...how Lauren has created a safe space for HAES/IE interested RD2bes to feel less alone...-why compassion, empathy, and perfectionism is a perfect storm for social justice advocacy BURNOUT...the importance of becoming the dietitian of your own dreams, not a carbon copy of what a dietitian “should” be...and Lauren’s 10 Principles of Intuitive DIETETICS, which everyone can access their free download of via https://www.thefoodfightfam.com/free-guide.

In this episode of the podcast, I chat with fellow dietitian and current Empowering Dietitians client, Kourtney Johnson, about...her journey from being new to intuitive eating to, 9 months later, confidently leading a webinar on IE to other RDs...her honest perspective on what aspects of the supervision program worked for her, and which didn’t resonate as much...and why and how she has prioritized investing in multiple coaches at one time for different specialties. You can connect with Kourtney on Instagram, @intuitivelynourishedRD, on her website at www.intuitivelynourishedRD.com, and on her Facebook group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/317030849552789.

In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Australian dietitian and business coach, Laura Jean, to chat about dietitian values: what values have to do with the rising rates of dietitian burnout and dietitians leaving the field, the consequences of a profession that never asks us to define our professional identities and values as individuals, and how to start tapping into your values as an authentic individual to aid in decision-making and improve work-life fulfillment.
