Fearless Practitioners

I know for a lot of y’all who are extroverts this can be a BIG adjustment and really hard to do.   So how can you thrive while working alone?

In this episode of the Fearless Practitioners Podcast, I chat about how and why it’s important as a solo practice owner to find your groove when working alone.

Listen in as I share some tips that will help you with some of the challenges you might be facing as a solo practitioner.

• Relieving the pressure of working alone.

Owning a private practice is a journey, and often one that is taken alone.

You might be wondering - where should you go with your practice next?

Are you ready to grow, to scale? Or do you need some more foundational work first?

Who doesn’t love hearing a wildly successful journey of growing a private practice?

Imagine launching a practice right out of the gate of a Dietetics internship and then poof -  fast-tracked to become a solo practice owner. 

Imagine starting with humble beginnings and working out of a renovated closet as a make-shift office for 6.5 years, and then transitioning to a larger office and growing your team.

In this episode of the Fearless Practitioners Podcast, I talk with Ryann Hilton, one of my coaching clients and a dear colleague.  Ryann is the founder of Nourish RX and shares with us her journey of growing a practice in alignment with her goals. Listen in as Ryann shares her 10 years of experience with plenty of examples and advice for listeners at any stage of their career.

Ryann Hilton is the owner of NourishRX, a group nutrition practice north of Boston specializing in the treatment of eating disorders and related body image concerns. She is a graduate of Simmons University with a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and is certified by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals Foundation (IAEDP) as a Certified Eating Disorders Registered Dietitian (CEDRD). She has provided nutrition treatment to individuals in all levels of eating disorder care: outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, residential and inpatient and has previously served as the PHP/IOP dietitian at Walden Behavioral Care, a Boston area eating disorder and psychiatric treatment center. As the Pediatric and Adolescent Outpatient dietitian at Mass General Hospital for Children at North Shore Medical Center she was a member of the multidisciplinary feeding therapy team working closely with occupational therapists and speech and language pathologists to assess the nutritional needs for children with ARFID, ADD/ADHD, dysphagia and growth-related concerns.

• The #1 secret sauce for making a practice boom with steady referrals (hint: it involves picking up the phone!)
• Learning curves along her journey, and what she wished she started much earlier at the beginning of her practice.
• The huge benefits to achieving goals and growing her practice by hiring a bookkeeper and understanding her numbers, profit & loss, and key performance indicators.
• The best and worst advice she received, and her advice to listeners for what they need to do to take action - this week!

Y’all keep asking me when is a good time to leave my full-time job and start a practice, so I thought I would pull this episode out of the vault because it answers this EXACT question.  

There are so many factors to consider and this is an individual question. Giving up the security of a full-time job is risky and can be a roller coaster of emotions. The biggest reason people don’t quit their jobs is the fear of uncertainty and loss of security. 

In this episode of the Fearless Practitioners Podcast, I chat about the top 3 steps you need to take in order to know if you are ready to transition into private practice and quit your full-time job!

• How to know when to leave your full-time JOB.
• The Honesty Check: ask yourself these important questions.
• Let’s Talk Money: things you need to consider.
• Establishing Your Foundation: laying the groundwork.

Have you ever felt like the content monster keeps knocking on the door and you're not sure what to feed him?!! 

One of the challenges that we can face as entrepreneurs is having to continually create new content that shows our audience our expertise and knowledge.

In this episode of the Fearless Practitioners Podcast, I talk with Jess Freeman who shares her story and has some wonderful tips on how to help us with our content in order to connect with our audience in meaningful ways.  Listen in and learn what to feed that content monster and how to build a plan that helps people learn what you do!

"As the owner of Jess Creatives, LLC, I am committed to making my business and community a diverse, inclusive, and equitable space for my clients and audience. I value diversity in its many forms and want to highlight that in my work, the contractors that work in my business, my content, and my online communities. I value ongoing anti-racism education for myself and my audience, as well as supporting equity-centered organizations.

Since Jess Creatives primarily works with nutrition and fitness professionals, we have committed to monetarily supporting Diversify Dietetics on a monthly basis. We fully support their mission to increase ethnic and racial diversity in the dietetics field. When selecting brands, partnerships, and/or softwares in my business, I’m committed to making an ongoing effort to prioritizing companies that are Black or minority-owned (like Zoom, Calendly, and Notion) and/or are also committed to their own anti-racism work. 

My Christian faith is a value I hold strongly in my life, right alongside believing that Black lives matter and LGBTQIA+ rights matter."

• Show up and keep showing up … be consistent.
• Build a content plan because when you have a plan you are more likely to stick with it.
• People forget what you do - remind them through your content.
