Here at the Manipura Centre, we believe that all goals are achieved in the same way. With your brain. It doesn't matter if you're striving for physical, mental, or financial wellness - your brain is pretty much running the show.

And if you don't learn how to manage your brain, it can keep you from achieving your highest potential, which is what you're meant to do while you're here on this planet.

On this week's episode of the Make More Money as a Dietitian Podcast, Christine explains why some of us don't create change in our lives until we hit "rock bottom."

Sometimes when we see people behaving out of character, our first instinct is to judge what's happening on the surface. Did you watch the 2022 Oscars last weekend? What were your thoughts about how Will Smith reacted towards Chris Rock? It was totally out of character for how he conducts himself publicly, that's for sure.

But it's not an unusual reaction, especially when a person is having a trauma response.

On this week's episode of the Make More Money as a Dietitian Podcast, Christine provides a neuroscience perspective on Will's actions, because most of us will judge the event based on what we see happening on the surface. She also talks about how you can start cultivating higher quality thoughts, so you're not just reacting to triggers, but taking action towards what you desire in your life and career as a dietitian.

• Why the Oscar "slap down" had little to do with defending Jada Pinkett-Smith.
• The sequence of brain events that happened for Will as a result of the inappropriate joke.
• The importance of being more trauma-sensitive by not casting jokes on other people's insecurities.
• Two ways to think higher-quality thoughts of your own, so you can experience more positive results in life & work.

According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, the word certainty (noun) is defined as the state of being completely confident or having no doubt about something. Certainty is an emotional state, not an intellectual one. To feel certain, your brain must filter out more [uncertain] information than it processes.

Oftentimes, we’re afraid to focus on the certainty of our goals becoming a reality because they feel so unattainable. It may feel unrealistic to have 100% certainty in anything because life is so unpredictable.

On this week’s episode of the Make More Money as a Dietitian Podcast, Christine talks about the miraculous gift associated with having certainty and how to use this emotion to usher in what you desire most for your life.

• Why we need both certainty & uncertainty in our lives. 
• How perfectionism breeds uncertainty.
• An example of how to use certainty in uncertain circumstances.
• The importance of not attaching to a specific timeframe in which your goals should be achieved, and what you should do instead.

As experts in nutrition science, we're trained to be thinkers and doers. And that's perfect when you're in school, completing the internship, and/or landing your 1st job as an RD.

However, becoming an RD entrepreneur comes with a whole new subset of characteristics. Entrepreneurship is like getting a triple advanced degree in personal development, business development, and professional development. The journey isn't for the faint-hearted, that's for sure.

But as doers & thinkers, we tend to enter entrepreneurship thinking all we need is to learn the HOW. But that's far from the truth of what it takes to succeed.

On this week's episode of the Make More Money as a Dietitian Podcast, Christine talks about the importance of doing the inner work on yourself as a business owner, so that you show up in your business (and your life) as the best version of yourself.

• Why you need the balance of feminine & masculine energies to build a business.
• The importance of creating a strong self-concept to succeed as a business owner.
• Why you shouldn't rely on your job to create happiness & fulfillment in your RD career.
• How to think when things don't go as planned in your business.
