Make More Money as a Dietitian

Ever caught yourself introducing yourself as your job title before anything else? In this episode, we're diving deep into the trap of role identification and how it might be silently limiting your growth, happiness, and potential. As high-achieving health professionals, we're often vulnerable to merging our identity with our professional roles. The line between "I am a dietitian" and "I work as a dietitian" might seem subtle, but it creates a profound difference in how we navigate challenges, embrace change, and define our worth. Through neuroscience insights, personal stories, and practical exercises, this episode offers a roadmap for (re)discovering who you truly are beyond your résumé, credentials, and achievements. You'll learn how to maintain excellence in your work while creating psychological freedom that allows for greater creativity, resilience, and fulfillment.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE The surprising ways role identification creates anxiety, fear of failure, and resistance to change How your brain creates and maintains your sense of self (and why change can feel threatening on an existential level) The critical difference between your "core self" and your constructed professional identity Practical language shifts that create psychological flexibility and reduce stress Daily practices for loosening the grip of role identification without sacrificing excellence How to handle others' expectations when you begin to separate your worth from your work The counterintuitive relationship between professional detachment and career growth   This episode provides both the science and the soul of identity transformation. You'll walk away with immediate practices to implement, a deeper understanding of your attachment patterns, and a framework for discovering your authentic self beyond the roles you play. Whether you're feeling burned out, facing a career transition, or simply seeking more peace in your professional journey, these insights will help you create a healthier relationship with your work while expanding your sense of who you are and what's possible. Remember, "Your résumé is a record of what you've done, not who you are."   TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL Join the waitlist for the Aligned Success Academy!

If you've ever looked at your life—the credentials framed on your wall, the thriving practice you've built, the respect of your colleagues—and wondered why it doesn't feel as fulfilling as you thought it would…you're not alone. In this first episode of our Aligned Success series, we're diving deep into the paradox that many high-achieving dietitians face: conventional success without genuine fulfillment. Today, we'll explore why checking all the boxes of traditional success often leaves us feeling strangely empty. We'll examine the unique challenges health professionals face, how our bodies signal misalignment before our minds can process it, and most importantly, how to transform that quiet discontent into a compass pointing toward authentic fulfillment. Whether you're just starting your career or you've reached the place you once dreamed of, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what true success may look like when it's aligned with your deepest values and unique gifts.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE The crucial difference between conventional success and genuine fulfillment Five physical and emotional signs your body is telling you you're off-path The "helper's trap" and why giving to others at your own expense leads to burnout How the pressure of being a "health expert" creates unique challenges for dietitians The science behind intuition and why high-achievers often override their body's wisdom Simple regulation techniques to reconnect with your inner guidance system How to reframe discontent as valuable information rather than personal failure Small, practical shifts that create momentum toward alignment without blowing up your life   This episode offers validation for those quiet feelings of discontent despite outward success. You'll walk away understanding that these feelings aren't a sign of ungratefulness or failure—they're your inner wisdom trying to redirect you toward a more aligned path. Whether you're experiencing full-blown burnout or just a nagging sense that something's missing, these insights will help you translate that discontent into meaningful action. Remember, "Success without alignment is just sophisticated suffering." It's time to create success that feels good from the inside out.   TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL Join the waitlist for the Aligned Success Academy!

Love gets tossed around a lot—especially in the personal development world. But what does it really mean to love yourself when you're a high-achieving woman who's constantly been told to prove her worth, play it safe, or put everyone else first?   In this powerful solo episode, I'm sharing a framework that's helped me (and my clients) redefine love—not as something we earn or give away at our own expense, but as a foundation for self-trust, aligned success, and emotional freedom. Today, we're going deep into what it means to let go, own your truth, value yourself, and expand fully into the life you want.   If you've ever found yourself performing for approval, staying stuck in roles that no longer fit, or craving more but feeling guilty about it, this episode is for you.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why “letting go” is the real starting point for authentic self-love How to identify when you're living someone else's version of truth—and how to reclaim your own The connection between self-worth and how you show up in your body, business, and bank account Why expanding into more isn't selfish—it's a radical act of self-love How to use the L.O.V.E. framework to realign your career, relationships, and habits with who you truly are   Loving yourself isn't about bubble baths and vision boards (though those are nice). It's about consistently choosing alignment over approval, courage over comfort, and truth over perfection. That's what we're unpacking today—and it might just change how you define love from this moment forward. If this conversation spoke to you, I'd be honored if you shared it with someone who might need to hear it too.

After 55 years of living, building, healing, and growing (and yes, unlearning), I've collected more than a few hard-earned truths. In this special birthday episode, I'm opening up my journal and sharing 55 of the most important lessons I've learned — not just about business or nutrition, but about identity, mindset, reinvention, boundaries, and what it really means to live a fulfilling life on your terms.   Whether you're 35, 45, or 65, this episode is for any woman who's realizing that success, peace, and personal power don't come from doing more — they come from finally listening to yourself. These aren't Pinterest quotes or clichés — these are lived truths I've walked through, and I'm passing them on with zero filter and full heart.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE The mindset shifts that changed everything in my 40s and 50s What I've learned about emotional eating, body image, and midlife health How to redefine success without burning out or starting over Why boundaries aren't selfish — and how to actually hold them The truth about reinventing your identity (and your career) How to stop outsourcing your worth and start trusting yourself Why grief and gratitude can (and often do) exist at the same time 55 unfiltered truths to help you design a radically fulfilling life   I hope this episode gives you permission to reflect on your own journey and recognize just how much wisdom you already carry. Whether one of these 55 lessons hit home or sparked something new in you, remember: you are never too old, too behind, or too far off track to come home to yourself. If this conversation spoke to you, I'd be honored if you shared it with someone who might need to hear it too. These lessons aren't just mine — they're reminders we all need. And if it made you pause, reflect, or breathe a little deeper… then we're on the right path.   TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL Don't miss out on being part of the mindset movement!

What happens when you stop chasing success the traditional way—and start creating a business that actually feels good? In this candid episode, I sit down with best-selling author and money mindset mentor Denise Duffield-Thomas to talk about the beliefs that keep women under-earning and overworking—and how to shift into a more easeful, sustainable version of success.   We kick off by exploring the most common money blocks holding women back, and then take a deep dive into what it really looks like to create a business around your natural strengths. Denise opens up about how she's restructured her offerings, simplified her schedule, and stayed grounded in her identity as a “chill introvert millionaire”—all while serving thousands of women around the world.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE The #1 money belief that keeps women playing small Why hustle isn't a requirement for building wealth The turning point that led Denise to leave her wedding business and step into coaching How to restructure your business around your energy, not someone else's blueprint The identity shift that often comes with success—and how to navigate it with grace What Denise and I both have in common with running highly successful businesses   Whether you're in a season of growth, reinvention, or simply craving more ease in your day-to-day life, this episode will inspire you to question outdated rules and trust that success doesn't have to be so hard. Denise's perspective is refreshing, practical, and wildly permission-giving.   If you've ever felt like you're doing too much, or like you have to sacrifice your lifestyle for your goals—this is your invitation to do things differently.   TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL Don't miss out on being part of the mindset movement!

The pressure to accept insurance can feel overwhelming for dietitians in private practice. Many professionals believe they must offer insurance coverage to attract clients and build a sustainable business. In this powerful episode, we're challenging this conventional wisdom and revealing why the most successful dietitians often choose a different path. Success isn't about competing on insurance coverage—it's about creating something so valuable that clients are eager to invest out of pocket. When you position yourself correctly, clients won't choose you based on price; they'll choose you because they trust you to deliver the transformation they're seeking. Through practical examples and mindset shifts, we'll explore why a private-pay model often leads to better client outcomes and a more fulfilling practice. Whether you're just starting your private practice or looking to transition away from insurance dependence, this episode will give you the confidence to embrace your value and attract clients who are ready to invest in themselves.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE The psychology behind why clients who pay out-of-pocket are typically more engaged and committed to their results Why competing on price or insurance reimbursement puts you at a disadvantage against larger companies How to position yourself as a specialist rather than a generalist to command premium rates Practical strategies for creating offers that insurance-based models simply can't replicate The crucial difference between selling "nutrition counseling" and selling a specific transformation How to craft messaging that attracts clients who value expertise over cost Content marketing strategies that educate potential clients on the value of investing in premium nutrition services The importance of premium branding in attracting clients who expect to pay for quality   This episode challenges you to stop competing on price and start competing on value. You'll walk away understanding that the most successful private practitioners don't try to be the most affordable option—they focus on being the most effective option for their ideal clients. The question isn't "How can I compete with free?" but rather "How can I create an experience so valuable that clients see investing in it as a no-brainer?" By the end of this episode, you'll have concrete strategies to differentiate yourself in a crowded market and attract clients who recognize and value your unique expertise.   TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL Don't miss out on being part of the mindset movement!

Big nutrition companies seem to be everywhere these days, and many dietitians feel threatened by their growing presence. In this eye-opening episode, we're challenging the narrative that corporations like Nourish, Berry Street, and Fay are "stealing" clients from independent dietitians. These companies aren't actually your competition—they're proof that more people than ever are seeking nutrition services. Through personal insights and practical strategies, we'll explore how the growing corporate presence in nutrition counseling is actually changing the landscape in ways that can benefit your private practice—if you know how to position yourself. Whether you're just starting your private practice or looking to differentiate your established business from corporate options, this episode will transform how you view the market and help you stand out in a way that attracts clients eager to work with YOU specifically.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why the success of nutrition corporations signals growing demand for dietitian services, not shrinking opportunity How these companies are actually raising awareness about the value of nutrition counseling The key advantages independent practitioners have that no corporation can replicate Why competing on insurance reimbursement is a losing battle for solo practitioners The mindset shift from scarcity thinking to opportunity thinking Practical strategies for positioning yourself as the premium option for your ideal clients How to create a unique promise that communicates your value beyond "nutrition counseling" The parallels between telehealth therapy platforms and nutrition companies—and what this means for private practitioners Why clients who pay out-of-pocket often achieve better results than those using insurance   This episode offers a refreshing perspective on the changing nutrition marketplace and equips you with actionable strategies to thrive alongside (not despite) the larger corporations. You'll walk away understanding that big companies aren't taking your clients—they're helping create more potential clients by expanding awareness of nutrition services. Remember, your unique expertise, personalized approach, and specialized knowledge create an experience that no algorithm or corporate protocol can match. The question isn't "How do I compete with free?" but rather "How do I offer something so valuable that people are willing to pay for it?"   TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL Don't miss out on being part of the mindset movement!

Your life and your business are very much intertwined. At the core, there's no separating the two. While you are NOT your business and your career as a dietitian doesn't define who you are as a person, whether you succeed or fail depends very much on you.   Today on the Do All of The Things Podcast, I'm sharing this "oldie, but goodie" episode where I discuss the importance of your decisions in building the business and life you desire.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE What it means to DECIDE. It's so simple, yet many people struggle with this. How your day-to-day decisions shape everything in your life. The “indulgent emotions” that are keeping you away from achieving your goals.

In this episode, we're diving into a game-changing approach to running your practice: flowing instead of forcing.

In this episode, we're diving deep into why the path to success might be more valuable than the destination itself. We've all been guilty of getting caught in the "arrival fallacy" – that belief that everything will fall into place once we reach a certain milestone.

Ever wonder if there's a hidden price tag attached to our culture's obsession with hustling harder? In this powerful episode, I share what really happens when we believe that success requires constant pushing, grinding, and sacrificing our well-being. As health professionals, we're particularly vulnerable to hustle culture's promises. We're trained to help others, to show up fully, and to be living examples of what we teach. But what happens when this drive for excellence becomes a cycle of depletion? Drawing from my own journey and observations from years of working with dietitians, I'm sharing honest insights about the true cost of maintaining an image of perfect success. This episode is a deep dive into how hustle culture affects our relationship with ourselves, our work, and our ability to truly serve our clients. Whether you're building a private practice or working in a traditional setting, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what sustainable success really looks like.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:   Why hustle culture particularly impacts health professionals and how to recognize its influence in your own practice The subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways your body signals when you're pushing too hard How maintaining an image of perfect success actually diminishes your ability to serve clients effectively The profound difference between achievement and alignment Why vulnerability in your professional journey can become your greatest strength How to start questioning the "push harder" narrative without compromising your success What becomes possible when you begin trusting your body's wisdom over external pressure   This conversation is for every health professional who's ever wondered if there's a better way. Because here's the truth: Your worth isn't measured by your productivity, and real success doesn't require sacrificing your well-being. Let's explore what becomes possible when we dare to define success on our own terms.

In this final episode of our identity series, we're combining everything we've explored about professional identity, limiting beliefs, and perfectionism to help you craft a story that truly reflects your vision. When you can articulate who you are and the unique value you bring, everything changes—from the opportunities you attract to the impact you make. This isn't about creating a polished elevator pitch. It's about getting crystal clear on your professional identity so you can show up authentically in every aspect of your career.

As dietitians, we're trained to value precision, evidence, and getting things right. But sometimes, this commitment to excellence morphs into a perfectionism that keeps us from fully stepping into our expertise. It's that voice that says you need to know everything before you can claim your authority. In this third episode of our identity series, we're tackling the complex relationship between expertise and perfectionism. It's time to explore how waiting to be "perfect" might be holding you back from making your biggest impact – and what to do about it. This episode builds on our previous conversations about professional identity and limiting beliefs, focusing on how to fully own your expertise while letting go of the perfectionism that often comes with being a healthcare professional.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:   Why perfectionism is particularly challenging for dietitians The real difference between excellence and perfectionism How waiting to be "perfect" limits your professional impact What true expertise looks like (hint: it's not about knowing everything) Ways perfectionism shows up in your career that you might not recognize How to maintain high standards without getting stuck in perfectionist patterns The connection between perfectionism and imposter syndrome Why owning your expertise actually serves your clients better   Perfectionism doesn't have to be the price of being an expert. If you're ready to make a bigger impact while letting go of impossible standards, this episode will show you how to embrace your expertise with confidence and authenticity. Because the truth is, your clients don't need you to be perfect – they need you to be present, knowledgeable, and real.

Ever notice how often you tell yourself what you "should" do in your career? These professional "shoulds" often masquerade as wisdom, but they're actually limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in conventional paths that might not align with our true potential. In this transformative second episode of our identity series, we're taking a closer look at those persistent "shoulds" that shape our career decisions. From staying in traditional roles to pricing our services "like everyone else," these invisible rules can hold us back from creating the impact we're truly capable of making. Building on our exploration of professional identity, this episode breaks down why these limiting beliefs exist, where they come from, and most importantly - how to move past them to create a career that feels authentically yours.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:   The hidden impact of professional "shoulds" on your career decisions Where these limiting beliefs actually come from (it's not where you think) The crucial difference between professional standards and limiting beliefs How to recognize when a "should" is protecting you vs. restricting you Why breaking free from traditional expectations isn't selfish - it's necessary What becomes possible when you start making decisions based on authentic choices rather than obligations How to navigate pushback when you start breaking conventional career "rules"   Whether you're questioning traditional career paths or simply tired of letting "shoulds" drive your professional choices, this episode offers a fresh perspective on creating your own definition of success. Get ready to transform those limiting beliefs into possibilities that align with who you truly are as a nutrition professional.

In this powerful first episode of our identity series, we're diving deep into how the way we see ourselves shapes everything in our careers.

Let's talk about what really happens when you find your professional tribe.

In this deeply personal episode, I share a recent discovery that made me reflect on my entire professional journey - an old YouTube video that revealed how my core message about mindset has remained constant throughout my career evolution. From my early days as a registered dietitian working with women over 40 to my current role as the founder of Manipura Centre, I explore how our past experiences and beliefs shape our professional development in ways we might not realize. This episode is all about understanding how our earlier wisdom continues to guide us, even as we evolve and grow in our careers. Through personal stories and reflections, I delve into the power of looking back at our professional path not with criticism, but with curiosity and appreciation. This episode serves as both a reminder and an invitation to explore your own professional evolution and the consistent threads that have guided your journey.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:   How revisiting past work can reveal the consistent themes in your professional journey The evolution from working with individual clients to empowering fellow practitioners Why sustainable change comes from mindset shifts rather than willpower The importance of trusting your professional intuition, even when it differs from conventional wisdom How to identify the through-line in your career, even when your path seems nonlinear Practical exercises for reflecting on your own professional evolution The value of acknowledging and learning from your past professional self Whether you're a healthcare practitioner, entrepreneur, or professional navigating your career path, this episode offers valuable insights into how our past experiences inform our present purpose.

In this special replay episode of "Do All of The Things," Christine shares an inspiring interview with former client Becky Wojcik that perfectly aligns with Manipura Centre's mission of pioneering the future of dietetics. The conversation showcases how dietitians can redefine success by embracing their authentic gifts and creating careers by embodying their core values. With over 20 years of experience in various roles - from clinical dietitian to academic director to mind-body practitioner - Becky's journey represents the diverse opportunities available within the dietetics profession. Her story challenges the belief that dietitians must leave the field to find professional fulfillment or financial success. Through her program "Journey to Joy" and her business Joyful Connection Nutrition and Wellness, Becky has created a unique approach that combines nutrition expertise with yoga, mindfulness, and stress management. Her work helps women break free from yo-yo dieting while fostering meaningful connections and building a positive relationship with their bodies, demonstrating how dietitians can expand beyond traditional practice models to create transformative client experiences.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:   How Becky combined her 20 years of yoga practice with nutrition to create a unique mind-body approach The importance of bringing past work experiences and skills into building an authentic practice Why mindset work is crucial for business success and overcoming limiting beliefs How in-person connections and retreats can create powerful transformation for clients The value of staying within the dietetics profession while finding your unique path Ways to align your business with your core values and natural strengths The importance of understanding that every career experience contributes to your journey If you're looking to create something new in your RD career, this episode offers a powerful reminder that success comes in many forms. Becky's story illustrates how embracing your authentic path and trusting your journey can lead to both professional fulfillment and meaningful client impact while contributing to the evolution of the dietetics profession as a whole.

Remember when you thought getting that one extra certification would finally make you feel "enough"? Or when you said yes to another low-paying opportunity because you were afraid nothing better would come along? These are just two ways the scarcity mindset shows up in our careers as dietitians – and it's time to talk about it. In this episode, we're diving deep into how scarcity thinking shapes our professional choices, often without us even realizing it. From constantly comparing ourselves to other RDs to undervaluing our expertise, these patterns keep us playing small and prevent us from creating the impact we're truly capable of making. Drawing from real examples and my own journey of unlearning scarcity, I'm sharing how to recognize these patterns and, more importantly, how to begin shifting them. This isn't just about positive thinking – it's about fundamentally transforming how you view yourself as a professional.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:   How to identify scarcity thinking in your daily professional decisions Common scarcity traps that keep us underearning and overworking Practical steps to begin shifting from scarcity to abundance thinking Why "comparisonitis" is actually a scarcity problem (and how to overcome it) The first step to breaking free from the "never enough" cycle Whether you're tired of feeling like you're constantly competing for opportunities or ready to stop undervaluing your expertise, this episode offers a new way forward.

What if everything you've been taught about success as a dietitian needs to be reimagined? After a two-year journey of deep reflection and hundreds of conversations with fellow RDs, I've discovered something profound: the traditional blueprint for success in our profession isn't just limiting – it might be preventing us from offering our most unique and valuable gifts to the world.   In this intimate episode, I'm breaking my silence on this topic to share why I stepped back in my business, what I discovered, and most importantly, what becomes possible when we dare to redefine dietitian success on our own terms. This isn't just about doing things differently – it's about creating a career that truly aligns with who you are and the impact you're meant to make.   Throughout my years of working with dietitians, one theme keeps coming up: our most powerful contributions often come from embracing our differences rather than trying to fit into a predetermined mold. Today, I'm sharing a new vision for what success could look like, along with an exciting announcement about a program that emerged from this transformation.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:   What became clear during my two-year journey of unlearning and reimagining The three questions that transformed my approach to success Details about Beyond The Blueprint, a groundbreaking 3-part series designed to help you create success on your own terms An exclusive preview of the Aligned Success Academy launching in 2025   This episode is for every dietitian who's ever wondered if there's a different way. Whether you're questioning the traditional path, feeling out of alignment with your work, or simply curious about what else is possible, you'll discover why now is the perfect time to reimagine what success could look like for you.

As dietitians, we enter our field driven by a passion to help people live healthier lives. But often, there's an underlying belief that follows us: “I became a dietitian to help people, not to make a lot of money.” While it sounds noble, this mindset can limit our professional growth, financial stability, and even our ability to fully serve our clients.   In today's episode, we explore the origins of this common belief and how it impacts not only our careers but also our well-being. Together, we'll look at the hidden costs of holding onto a “service over earning” mindset and how shifting our view of money can lead to greater impact, fulfillment, and financial freedom.   Whether you're early in your career or a seasoned pro, this episode will challenge you to rethink the way you view your earning potential and financial success as a dietitian. By reframing money as a tool for impact and self-respect, together we can grow into new levels of empowerment in our field.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: The historical and cultural origins of the “not here for the money” mindset in dietetics How this belief can lead to financial strain, burnout, and reduced impact Ways to reframe money as a tool for achieving your mission and expanding your reach Practical strategies to start overcoming this limiting belief Addressing common fears and objections about charging for your services Action steps to begin embracing financial empowerment as a dietitian This episode is about challenging the beliefs that hold us back and redefining our relationship with money in a way that enhances our mission to help others. And remember, thriving doesn't just benefit you—it paves the way for future dietitians to step into their full potential.

Ever felt like no matter how much you achieve or push forward, you seem to hit an invisible ceiling? In today's episode of Do All of the Things, we explore why this happens and how to break free from the limitations we unknowingly place on ourselves. Drawing a fascinating parallel between the weight set point theory and the "mental set point" concept—inspired by Gay Hendricks' book The Big Leap—we dive into how our minds can often hold us back just as much as our bodies might. Just as your body has a natural weight range, your mind can have a comfort zone around success, happiness, and fulfillment, making it hard to move beyond.   We'll discuss how these set points influence our lives, especially for those who feel like they're on the verge of something great but are held back by internal resistance. This Upper Limit Problem, as Hendricks calls it, often surfaces when we're close to breakthrough moments. Recognizing when this is happening—and why—is vital to freeing yourself from the invisible ceilings that limit your potential.   Join me as we look at how these ideas connect and, most importantly, what we can do to raise our mental set points, creating space for lasting growth and fulfillment. Whether you're a nutrition professional, entrepreneur, or simply someone looking to unlock your potential, today's episode offers actionable strategies and insights to help you break past these barriers and create a life that feels truly aligned.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: What weight set point theory is and how it applies to our mental and emotional states. How Gay Hendricks' concept of the “Upper Limit Problem” shows up in everyday life. Why both our body and mind can resist change when we attempt to reach new levels of success or happiness. Common ways resistance manifests when we push beyond our mental set points. Five practical strategies to shift your mental set point and expand your comfort zone. How self-compassion and support systems play a critical role in long-term transformation. Tips for visualizing and achieving your goals with less resistance and greater ease.   Breaking past your set points—whether mental or physical—requires intention, patience, and the courage to step beyond what feels comfortable. As we dive deeper into these concepts, remember that growth doesn't happen overnight, but every step you take builds resilience. I hope today's episode gives you the tools to identify your own set points and the confidence to move beyond them.

Have you ever noticed the similarities between your relationship with food& body and your relationship with money? In this episode, I dive deep into how struggles with body image and eating habits often mirror financial struggles, especially among dietitians. Drawing on my own experience and the patterns I've seen working with clients, we'll explore how mindset blocks around food often show up in your money habits—and how healing one can help you heal the other.   Dietitians are particularly vulnerable to these struggles. Many of us have learned to prioritize others' well-being while neglecting our own, leading to underearning, undercharging, or even feeling guilty about making money. As we unpack the psychological ties between food, body, and money, you'll begin to see how a scarcity mindset in one area can spill into the other parts of your life.   If you're an RD who has ever struggled with your relationship with food & body, and you're currently struggling with achieving your fullest earning potential, this episode is for you. I'll share practical strategies to break the cycle of scarcity, move towards abundance, and realign your mindset for healthier habits so you can finally make more money as a dietitian.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: How emotional eating and emotional spending are closely connected.

Setting goals and working hard to achieve them can be frustrating when the results fall short or don't last. Many of us are conditioned to believe that if we just do more, hustle harder, or follow the latest strategies, success will inevitably follow. But what if the real key to lasting change isn't in what you're doing, but in how you're thinking? In today's episode, we uncover why external actions alone don't create sustainable results—and why focusing on your inner work is the missing piece.   External actions are important, but they're only part of the equation. Without addressing the internal beliefs, mindset, and emotional patterns driving those actions, even the hardest work can feel unproductive or misaligned. True transformation happens when you align your internal world—your thoughts, beliefs, and values—with your external actions.   In this episode, we'll explore the deep connection between your mindset and your outcomes. You'll learn how shifting your inner beliefs can transform the results you see in your outer world, leading to sustainable, fulfilling success. Get ready to dive into why mindset shifts, self-awareness, and inner alignment are the foundation for long-term growth.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Why External Actions Fall Short: The reason why external actions like working harder, copying strategies, or ticking off tasks often don't lead to lasting success. The Importance of Inner Work: How your mindset, beliefs, and internal dialogue are the foundation for sustainable, meaningful change. Mindset Shifts for Long-Term Success: Key mindset shifts that lead to breakthrough results in your personal and professional life. The Burnout Trap: How neglecting inner work leads to frustration and a sense of unfulfillment despite hard work and effort. Tune in to discover why the inner work is just as important—if not more—than the external actions you take to achieve success.

Welcome back to another episode of "Do All of the Things."  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 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.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: 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. READY TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL?   Private Coaching w/Christine will get you there!

Nope, this is the real deal, and it's time to seize it with both hands. There are no rehearsals, no second takes; it's all happening right now.   It's time to shake off those excuses and dive headfirst into making things happen. Your life deserves the meaning and purpose you crave, so why wait? Embrace your full potential and watch how you amaze yourself and everyone around you.

Welcome back to another episode of "Do All of the Things."  In our journey of growth and self-discovery, one of the most profound lessons we can learn is to find beauty in our imperfections and to celebrate the messy, imperfect aspects of ourselves and our lives.   When I first started on this podcasting journey, it felt like stepping into uncharted territory. There was this pressure to be flawless, to deliver perfect content every time. But as I've embraced imperfection, I've come to realize that it's in those raw, unpolished moments that true connection and authenticity thrive. So, today, I'm excited to dive deep into the art of embracing imperfection and how it can transform our lives.   You see, our society often glorifies perfection, whether it's in our personal relationships, our careers, or our appearance. But the truth is, perfection is an illusion, a standard that none of us can truly attain. And yet, we strive for it relentlessly, fearing judgment and rejection if we fall short. But what if I told you that our imperfections are not flaws to be hidden but gifts to be celebrated?   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: The Perfectionism Trap: Explore the impact of perfectionism on personal growth and well-being, and discover how embracing imperfection can lead to greater fulfillment. Cultivating Self-Compassion: Learn practical strategies for cultivating self-compassion and navigating the challenges of imperfection with resilience and grace. Shifting from Fear to Courage: Discover how to overcome the fear of imperfection and embrace courage in taking imperfect action towards your goals.

Your job isn't just a way to pay the bills; it's an integral part of your life plan, deeply intertwined with your unique set of skills, talents, and strengths. When you align your work with these core values, the rewards go beyond just financial gain – there's a profound spiritual fulfillment that comes from doing what you love.   But how do you identify what truly matters to you? It starts with introspection. Take a moment to reflect on what ignites your passion. Are you driven by a desire to help others, or do you thrive in leadership roles? Understanding your strengths is crucial here, and a fantastic tool for this is StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath. By recognizing and embracing your strengths, you pave the way for a more purposeful and fulfilling career.   So, here's a mantra to carry with you this week: "I do what I love every day."    Now, I invite you to reflect: How can you find more passion for your current life?

In today's episode, I'm sharing the importance of acknowledging accomplishments. This is a topic that emerged from a period of deep introspection and soul-searching in my own life. As someone who tends to focus on setting and achieving goals, I've often overlooked the importance of pausing to celebrate my wins along the way. This realization dawned on me during a recent phase of uncertainty and limbo in my personal and professional life, prompting me to slow down and reflect on the journey I've been on over the past decade.   Through this process of introspection, I compiled a comprehensive list of my accomplishments spanning the past 10 years. This journey has been both enlightening and humbling, as I've uncovered a myriad of personal and professional milestones that I had previously overlooked or dismissed. From forging meaningful connections with loved ones to achieving career milestones and pursuing personal passions, this exercise has provided valuable insights into my growth, identity, and aspirations.   As I reflect on this journey of self-discovery and recognition, I'm reminded of the power of gratitude and celebration in shaping our perspectives and fostering resilience. By taking the time to acknowledge our accomplishments, no matter how big or small, we not only honor our hard work and perseverance but also gain clarity and inspiration for the road ahead. Join me in this episode as we explore the impact of recognizing and celebrating our achievements, and learn practical strategies for incorporating gratitude and self-reflection into our daily lives.    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: The significance of slowing down and recognizing your achievements amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. How compiling a list of accomplishments can provide valuable insights into your personal and professional growth over time. The importance of celebrating both big milestones and small victories, creating a sense of fulfillment and motivation for the future.

Hey there, my friends! Welcome back for another Mindset Minute. Today, I want to dive into a topic that's close to my heart: living your values. Each of us possesses a unique power system—a set of core values that guide our decisions and actions. These core values are deeply ingrained within us, and shaped by our experiences, beliefs, and aspirations. And here's the beautiful thing: when we align our lives (and our careers) with our values, magic happens. We experience a profound sense of internal happiness, and God responds in kind, rewarding us with flourishing relationships, fulfilling careers, and a life that truly resonates with our soul's deepest desires.   To start living your values, I invite you to reconnect with your childhood—the purest essence of who you are. Reflect on the things that mattered most to you back then. Maybe it was helping others, expressing yourself creatively, or immersing yourself in physical activities like dance. Your childhood holds the key to uncovering your authentic self and rediscovering the values that have always been within you. By identifying and embracing these values, you pave the way for a happier, more meaningful approach to life.   So, here's a mantra to carry with you this week: "I am in love with my life. I live my values and show up with integrity in all my interactions. My values are a reflection of my soul's deepest desires."    Now, I invite you to reflect: What are your values?   Wishing you a beautiful day and an abundance-filled week ahead!     READY TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL?   Grab a copy of the workbook “How to Calculate Your Rate as an RD Entrepreneur” Discover practical steps to determine your value, understand expenses, set income goals, and calculate your ideal hourly rate.

Welcome back to another episode of "Do All of the Things."  In today's episode, let's dive into the concept of business hypergrowth, something that's become almost synonymous with success in the entrepreneurial world. From social media feeds flooded with promises of overnight million-dollar businesses to the relentless pursuit of scaling to astronomical revenue figures, the pressure to achieve MORE can feel overwhelming. But here's the thing: success isn't a one-size-fits-all equation, and bigger doesn't always mean better. As someone who's experienced the pitfalls of hypergrowth firsthand, I've come to realize that true success lies in aligning your business goals with your personal values and lifestyle goals.   So, with that said, I want you to know it's okay to have a  “big enough” business.

In this episode, we'll explore practical questions to help you assess your current situation and redefine what success looks like for you. Whether you're just starting out or already deep into your entrepreneurial journey, it's time to shift the narrative from chasing the money bag to building a business that supports your desired lifestyle.    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:   The importance of defining success on your own terms as an RD Entrepreneur.

Hey there, my friends! Welcome back for another Mindset Minute. Today, we're diving deep into the concept of true financial abundance. It's easy to get caught up in the belief that resources are limited, whether it's time or money, but I want to challenge that thought. Take a moment to examine the beliefs you hold about your circumstances. Are they serving you or holding you back?   As you observe others experiencing abundance and prosperity, see it as a reflection of what's possible for you. There's no need for a scarcity mindset when you realize that abundance is not a finite resource. It's about recognizing your own worth and embracing the flow of abundance into your life. So, as you go about your week, pay attention to the signs of wealth around you.   So, here's a mantra to carry with you this week: "My thoughts determine my prosperity. I am worthy of abundance, and I welcome it into my life."    Now, I invite you to reflect: What outward expressions of abundance do you notice around you, and how do they align with your own desires?   Wishing you a beautiful day and an abundance-filled week ahead!       READY TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL?   Grab a copy of the workbook “How to Calculate Your Rate as an RD Entrepreneur” Discover practical steps to determine your value, understand expenses, set income goals, and calculate your ideal hourly rate.
