Jenna Hollenstein on compassion and witnessing the evolution of Dietetic practice, asking "is this a tipping point?"

Jenna shares witnessing a new mood, observations of the current tipping point, the importance of compassion as we evolve as clinicians and as we witness the evolution of others, what compassion is and isn’t and how we embrace it, mindfulness and meditation; the notion of acceptance, making connections and a new training opportunity available for dietitians. 

Here Fi and Jenna speak about:

• Living in NYC; its overstimulating nature and rich diversity with many opportunities for observation.
