Empowering Dietitians

Jess Serdikoff Romola, dietitian supervisor and host of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast, is joined in this episode by Celestina Brunetti and Laura Jean, two fellow dietitians and podcasters in their own right. Jess, Celestina, and Laura are joining up for a true collaboration opportunity unlike any other, and to tell you more about it, they've recorded a cross-over episode to air on all three of their shows. In this episode, these three dietitians chat through their vision for the Conversation Corner they've created together, the trouble with most traditional "collaborative" spaces in dietetics, and their hope for creating a different community culture within the field moving forward.

Jess Serdikoff Romola, dietitian supervisor and host of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast responds to a listener question about burnout, motivation, and creating a routine when building a business while working from home. This episode will be the first part of a two-part answer, with this week's episode addressing the idea of boundaries, routines, and how in a capitalist society we often feel pressured to have routines...even when they may not be serving or benefiting us. Jess draws parallels between the urge to have routines along with our fear of rest, and some of the fears our clients have around permission to eat foods they love but feel they "shouldn't". And in the end, she makes a big announcement -- see below for details!

Jess Serdikoff Romola, dietitian supervisor and host of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast, is joined in this episode by Jessy Griffel, a Montana-based outpatient oncology dietitian and graduate of The Empowering Dietitians Group Program. In this episode, Jessy shares how lost she felt when enrolling in the group program earlier this year - and how she went from questioning her entire career, to being able to set boundaries, make a big career change, and align her work with her core values and the priorities she has in life. Making these changes allowed Jessy to make space in her life for passions and hobbies, and to reclaim parts of her identity as a fully-fledged human beyond her identity professionally as a dietitian.

In this episode of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast, host and dietitian supervisor Jess Serdikoff Romola addresses a frustration that has been coming up for many of the dietitians in her supervision programs - the idea that there is "one right way" to do...pretty much anything, as a dietitian. From coaches touting their Proven Frameworks that we follow diligently to build the business of our dreams only to feel disappointed or disconnected, to being tempted by promotions because they're "the next logical step" in your career even when they don't align with your personal values and goals...there are so many ways that dietitians forgo their intuition and individuality for the sake of what they think they "should" do. This episode pulls back the curtain on why this is so common, and what we can be doing instead.

In this episode of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast, dietitian supervisor and host Jess Serdikoff Romola talks about the conflicting advice she has received from business coaches on whether or not she should exclusively work with intuitive eating, non-diet, or weight inclusive dietitians in her supervision business - and how it took her stepping back from the external opinions, reflecting on it herself, and talking it through in her own supervision to feel clear and confident in her decision. Jess talks through why she continues to work with dietitians regardless of how they label their practice, provides reflection points for you as a practitioner to consider with your own work, and outlines important things to know about the Empowering Dietitians Group Supervision Program if you're considering enrolling before the next cohort begins in October.

In this episode of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast, host and dietitian supervisor Jess Serdikoff Romola addresses an issue that is often swept under the rug in the field: practitioners who, themselves, struggle with eating disorders and disordered eating. For too long, The Academy has either denied the existence of this issue or, more recently, claimed there is nothing to be done about it. Jess has been told repeatedly not to discuss it, that it wasn't appropriate, all the while seeing the impact the secrecy and shame was having on her colleagues...and herself. She talks in this episode about speaking her truth, not being afraid to rock the boat, and what we as a profession can be doing to better support each other and future generations of students to have a healthier relationship with food and their bodies.

Why do so many dietitians continue to feel isolated and alone? Jess answers these questions and, perhaps even more importantly, what we can do about it - in this episode.
