Dietitian Values
The Dietitian Values podcast is a space for conversations that go beyond lip speak, challenge the status quo and, bring us together to learn and unlearn in connection and community. Join me, Laura Jean Dietitian by trade and weirdo at heart, as I chat to insightful guests, brain dump my thoughts and start those kind of conversations where we'll probably end up with more questions than answers. Let's create a space for encouraging and inspiring accountable action.

The end of a calendar year is nigh and the desire to look forward and get started planning is high.
The business coaches are getting loud with their 'make 2026 the x year ever' and perhaps you are are ready to leave 2025 behind.
BUT....before we rush forward I've got a little pause point for you. I'm planting a seed for both reflection and grounding first.
Reflection of what has been and grounding into what current...
Offering up a little question for reflection question for you today - or a spur to action - take it as suits for you:
What are you going to do about i?
Tension points, values misalignments, energy & capacity drains...what are you going to do about it?
Cultivating joy, seeing opportunities, passion projects a plenty....what are you going to do about it?
Wanting things to be different, wanting to cultivate a different kind of busines...
Enough: as much as required.
We've talked about defining your enough in your business (and life of course because that's where your biz is nested). But how do you actually start moving towards a life and business that is enough?
That's exactly what we're up to in this episode - we'll dream, grab the data, critcally analyse shit and make a plan to do things differently and cultivate your enough-ful life.
Let&ap...
How we define community, the values we think of it through and act into it by are important.
I recently read a post about the 'cost of community' and it didn't sit with my values for a couple of reasons - I want to chat it through in today's episode and offer up some thoughts on how we conceptualise community and cultivate it together.
In this episode:
- community doesn't have a cost
- relating and community
- so...

If you've been asking yourself that question you are not alone. Humans who are doing things differently want the world to be different and want their actions to make a difference. No more business as usual.

As seasons being to shift here I thought I’d do a little check in episode.
I’m talking about:
- my word of the year and where I’m at with that

- What’s happening biz-wise as I continue to Bare-Ass-Minimum things
- garden action as we near towards spring
- bird chat - I know you are here for that!
- and so much more….
Let’s dive in.

I've talked about the idea of relational inspiration on other eps but I think it deserves its own stand alone episode.
In this one I'll:
- define relational inspiration
- chat about how it can be used as a lens or space for grounding
- offer it up as an alternative to 3 different areas of status-quo building concepts that have never sat right with me, and maybe not for you either:
- Accountability
- Role models
- Social proof
Let's chat about critically analysing, grieving and leaving the status quo behind.
It's 2025, and I'm sick of seeing '1,2,3 step' formulas and just do these '3 things to make your first $1M' suggestions that are so surface level and so f*cking 2015!
It's beyond time to do things differently, and not just because the status quo success outcomes are only available to a select few, but because it&...
Burnout doesn't have to be inevitable - but it can be, if you are cooking with this recipe:
Take your finite time, capacity & resourcing, add in a cupful of extra things to do and sprinkle on some overwhelm and anxiety...and you've got the perfect recipe for burnout.
But seriously, let's chat burnout and what will get you there quicker than you can say 'dinner's ready'!
Whether you're in burnout,...
Hands up my fellow people-pleasers and recovering (unlearning?) people-pleasers.
Let's chat about how people pleasing shows up in your business and how it gets in the way of cultivating a sustainable business for you.
In this episode we'll cover:
- defining people pleasing
- what we might actually be up to when we attempt to people please
- 3 ways people pleasing shows up in business: service structure, pricing and marketing
- Usin...
Does a to-do list serve you?
Today I want to offer up some questions and some space to get curious around the good old to-do list, how it's serving you an perhaps if it is at all (or at least in its current iteration)
A tool is only as much use in your business as it is useful to you.
Let's dive in.

It feels topical, dare I say seasonal, to talk about season as we transition from summer to autumn, winter to spring, or between dry/wet depending where you are in the world.
It offers a moment to pause and notice. To observe how the seasons and their transitions impact you and how you interplay with the seasons.
And of course seasons aren't just related to those of the natural ecosystem around us - they can refer to the life st...
Do you 'should' on yourself?
Do you place obligations of correctness onto your actions or criticise them based on a cultural definition of correctness?
Well, you should stop that! Just kidding....
In this episode I'm chatting about the habit of 'shoulding'. Sharing why it's a red flag in your relationship with yourself and your values and encourage you to take the opportunity to get curious and get critic...
Hello, hello...it's been a while.
Have had a little unexpected pause on the podcast (but you know we love a pause around here).
I'm back today to check-in, chat life update and let it be a reminder (or an opportunity to plant seeds) for some reflection and checking in of your own.
Let's dive in.

There are a lot of values disconnects and tension points at the best of times when running a values grounded business inside a status-quo upholding business system.
And these 'unprecedented' times continue to add more tension.
Tension can be uncomfortable AND it also holds possibility (h/t James Olivia Chui Hillman).
Where are the opportunities to wrap words around what you are feeling and processing. Firstly as a support fo...
Knowing your values is one thing, checking in with your business and it's alignment with your values is a whole other thing.
In todays episode I want to chat to you about carrying out a values audit. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds. Basically a temperature check of where your business is in relation to your values.
I'm going to offer up some overarching thoughts, offer a suite of op...
