Stephanie opens her heart to her fellow licensed health professionals in today’s episode. She gets real about her painful decision to give up her license as a registered dietitian, and sends a powerful message to anyone who has felt small or neglected after tons of hard work and sacrifice—the message that they’re not alone.

Many people have spent years or even decades living the bulk of their day-to-day lives in their identity as a registered healthcare practitioner, in much the same way they identify as wives, mothers, or sisters.

Listen in as Stephanie shares her almost decade-long journey to becoming a registered dietitian and the struggles she faced not only in earning her qualifications, but in building a brand, starting and scaling a business, and making a real impact in her field—all with a genuine desire to add value to the lives of her clients and colleagues.

She also talks about how she had to take a few steps back even after hitting the six-figure mark in her business, highlighting the limitations of endless self-sacrifice and perfectionism. Finally, she reveals why she ultimately had to surrender her RD license and how she navigated not just the often-scary legal repercussions that surrounded her particular decision, but the intense shame that came with it.

This episode is dedicated to everyone who has given years to a profession in dietetics, has gone through scores of personal and career losses, and has given up much of what they desired in the present moment in order to experience the fulfillment of purpose and passion that set them on this path in the first place.

Key Topics:

• Your professional title as your identity (6:12)
• Releasing the RD (10:05)
• Finding purpose and happiness in the dietetics world (15:13)
• Building a well-known brand as an RD (20:55)

Stephanie sits down once again with Alissa Rumsey, a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, food and body liberation coach, and the author of Unapologetic Eating.

She helps people get free of the shame and pain of chronic dieting so they can live their most unapologetic, liberated lives. Alissa and her team offer virtual intuitive eating and non-diet nutrition coaching, group programs, and online courses to help their clients make peace with food and their body.

Listen in as Alissa gives her thoughts on how changes in the market have impacted practice owners everywhere. She explains how she gradually developed additional revenue streams to leverage her practice while multiplying her impact, such as a support and processing group, while keeping burnout at bay.

Alissa shares her approach to pricing the different offerings in her product suite and structuring her overall ladder of value. She talks about the positive impact of making the pivot from a long-term consumer-facing program, to one offering teaching sessions followed by a facilitative call a week later.

Finally, Alissa discusses her passion for what she calls “regenerative practices”, the inspiration for which was sparked when she asked herself the question: “How can we, as clinicians, make sure that we take care of ourselves so that we can show up not just for ourselves, but also for our clients?”
