In today's episode of The Dietitian Success Podcast, Krista Kolodziejzyk sits down with Laura Jean, Registered Dietitian. Through her business, Dietitian Values, Laura helps other RD’s create a business that truly aligns with their core values. Her coaching is for those who want their patients/clients to feel seen, heard and known, and who want to ditch the bullshit that permeates the nutrition and fitness industry, kick the I’m-the-expert-image and put the joy back into their work (and life). 

Krista & Laura chat about: 

• What it really means to discover your values 
• How to know if an opportunity is just scary because it's new, or if it truly isn't aligned with your values and beliefs
• Thoughts on why RD's are leaving the profession
• How to get started with creating a practice that makes you feel fulfilled and aligned
