I loved recording this episode with Jessica Serdikoff Romola. I'm so excited to get it out into the world for all of you. Jess and I talked very openly and honestly about how supervision is so important for dietitians, for our career, and for all the imposter feelings that we have. Jess termed the phrase "imposter feelings" — I love it – instead of "imposter syndrome" and we talk about why in the podcast episode.I think you'll really enjoy hearing Jess and I discuss what goes into supervision and break down how it can absolutely transform your business as a dietitian.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• What is supervision and "imposter feelings"?
• Challenges dietitians face and how supervision can help by providing support, advocacy, and growth
• How to handle emotional reactions and overidentification with clients
• Shifting into group supervision from 1:1 coaching

We’re kicking off 2022 with our traditional special podcast series to catch up with former podcast guests and hear about what they’ve been up to and lessons they’ve learned in the past year. So often, we set big goals and make plans, and then everything changes! 

In this episode, we celebrate business growth. All of our guests are in very different places in their businesses, working on everything from a major rebrand to expanding offerings and hiring to setting new boundaries. Please enjoy this episode!

We’re kicking off 2022 with our traditional special podcast series to catch up with former podcast guests and hear about what they’ve been up to and lessons they’ve learned in the past year. So often, we set big goals and make plans, and then everything changes! This episode is the second one in the 2022 series. 

In this episode, we discuss hiring for your business. Our three guests are all in different places in their businesses, but they all share something in common: they have all hired within the last year. Their businesses and stories are so different. There is not one “right” way to hire support in your business, and this episode sheds light on that.

I loved this episode with Victoria Myers. We talk about her 1:1 nutrition counseling private practice and how she grew and transitioned from seeing all clients to hiring other dietitians and running online programs. We talked about all of the ups and downs and challenges in between. I'm so excited for you to see behind the scenes of a successful business that runs multiple online offers and programs.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• Being in business for the long haul
• Evolving your business to support a team after being a solopreneur
• Transitioning from solely 1:1 to also offering online courses and group coaching
• The truth behind passive income

So often, we set big goals and make plans, and then everything changes! This episode is the second one in the 2022 series. 

In this episode, we discuss pivoting in business. As a business owner, I’ve had to make many pivots myself over the years. Running a business is really one big experiment around figuring out what works for you and your ideal clients. All of our guests today have made major pivots in their business within the last year. We talk about the good and the hard. I hope this episode inspires you!

Happy new year! This podcast episode is my personal business report for 2021, and it has a lot to do with what’s going on in my life right now. I’m so excited to share!

In the next few months, we will be airing a series of interviews with previous guests updating us on their past year. I wanted to kick off this series with my own personal update.

I share all of this with the goal in mind to be an inspiration and to share openly and transparently both the wins and the struggles of this past year. 

Some of the topics discussed include:

• 2021 was both the best and worst year of my life with many high highs and low lows
• The long term effect of 2020
• Growing the Pursuing Private Practice team
• Creating a CEO job description for myself and sticking to it
• How we are revamping Dietitian Business School

Here at Pursuing Private Practice, we are celebrating the holiday season! We know the holidays can bring up so many emotions, and we are wishing each of you all the self care and peace during this holiday season.

I wanted to take a second to talk about coasting in your business during the holidays. December is a time to coast as much as possible (at least that’s my own belief!). The reason for that is because there are so many other things going on in our lives that need extra attention: gift buying and giving, socializing, different routines, shifting childcare, etc. We cannot do all the things, and December is the perfect time to give yourself a break when it comes to your business growth.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• What is coasting?
• Ideas for cutting back on your workload
• How business impacts other areas of life
• The negative feelings around coasting
• How to know when it’s time to stop coasting
