EP.93: Lessons From 11 NO's in a Row

Welcome to Make More Money as a Dietitian, the podcast for nutrition professionals ready to build profitable private practice businesses that create more time, freedom, and flexibility, while supporting the life you want to live.

I'm Christine Thomson, Registered Dietitian, Certified Life Coach, and Money Mindset Mentor. After mentoring hundreds of dietitians on everything from pricing to purpose, I know this: imposter syndrome isn't your weakness; it's your sign that you're ready to grow. Success isn't just about strategy; it's about building the confidence to charge what you're worth and create a business that reflects your values.

Inside each episode, we'll break down what it really takes to thrive in private practice: from attracting aligned clients to raising your rates with confidence. We'll tackle the mindset shifts that transform imposter syndrome into your secret weapon, help you set boundaries that create true flexibility, and show you how to build the freedom you deserve without burning out.

Whether you're drowning in low-paying client referrals or ready to finally own your expertise, this is where you learn to feel as confident in your business as you do in your clinical skills. Because how you feel about your worth matters just as much as your business strategy.

If you're ready to make more money as a dietitian without sacrificing your values, your sanity, or your weekends, you're in the right place.

Let's create your version of success. Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and share this with another dietitian who's done settling for less.
