Dietitian Values

Do you accept the cycles of your motivation, consistency and productivity in your business?

This is front of mind for me as I cycle back into podcasting after an unplanned month off and with conversations I've been having with others around cycles and acceptance.

Too often we impose linear expectations and time frames on what is a cyclical rhythm for beings like us that are part of nature. Reminder: you are not a machine.

So, ...

First off, congratulations to me! I always encourage you to celebrate yourself and I'm taking this opportunity to do the same - 5 years of (mostly) weekly podcasts, 200+episodes and countless hours connecting with you.

To celebrate and mark the occasion I wanted to share 5 lessons from 5 years of podcasting.

Let's dive into it....

Episode ONE: What kind of dietitian do you want to be?

If you've been asking yourself 'what can I be doing?' or some flavour of that question I want you to know you are not alone.

AND I want to offer up some thoughts and ideas for practical action that you can take.

No shoulds, simply offering up some seeds to plant.

Let's dive in.

Trauma Informed care is not new BUT it's not necessarily a well used or known term for everyone and it definitely is not something that is often talked about when it comes to doing business.

But what does it mean for doing business? Is it another thing to add to the to-do list? Do you need a certain training to do it? Will it mean addressing trauma?

In today's episode I answer all these questions and create a shared understanding of ...

If you do work that makes a difference and want a different kind of world that has to extend to how you do business.

Doing work that makes a difference, doesn’t guarantee that your business is not perpetuating dehumanising systems and possibly doing harm. AND this is not meant as a criticism or a shame/blame inducing statement…instead it’s an invitation to get curious (with a big side of self compassion).

In this e...

Social media is changing all round and that means it's role in your business might be changing too.

If your relationship with social media needs a little rejig and some boundaries this ep has got you covered with:

- staying on social media in a values aligned way

- getting clear on the role social media will play in your biz

- following through on your commitment to your values on SM ie boundaries!!

- red flags for your relationship wit...

Does using social media make you feel some sort of way? 

Does it feel unaligned with your values?

Does it feel unsupportive for your mental wellbeing?

Or is it simply a time suck for you?

Hands down one of the most fraught business  tools for health and helping professionals is social media.

In this podcast we'll cover:

- is it possible to do business without social media

- identifying your best communication avenues

- practical ...

We've all been noticing right? The continuing shift in the social media landscape.

The reduction in the reach and connection, the increase in restrictions and access...basically continuing to funnel us all towards a pay-to-play model for meeting biz goals on Socials.

So, is it time to quit social media? Good question....

- how to assess what in your business is ready for death or decomposition

...and so much more

Today I want to chat about connection.

Connection is a values thread for me - it weaves through all my other values, how I define them and how I act into them.

So, I'm offering up some space and reflection questions to get curious about connection as it shows up for you, your values and your business.

And also encouraging you to run an eye over your values and find your values thread too.

Let's dive in.

Talking about your values and what they are is one thing....acting into them is the actual point.

Let's chat about values beyond lip-speak and acting into the same values that we say we have.

Now, the thing about the people that hang around on this podcast is that you are mostly doing this - however there are 2 places where this disconnect consistently shows up for values grounded humans like you. So we are definitely covering those ...

The systems we are embedded in, their values and beliefs, are embedded in all the spaces we occupy...and also inside of us too.

The work of dismantling them and challenging them doesn't just happen 'out there' it's not just the work of protesting, calling reps or posting statements. It's the inner work of identifying and uprooting our own internalisation of these values - and a great place to get started is your business.

Hey there, in today’s episode I want to do a little check-in, share some life updates and what’s happening so far in 2026.

I also want to wrap words around the moment we find ourselves in and talk to the both/and of witnessing all that is happening while continuing with day-to-day life.

And lastly I want to plant some seeds and inspire action to get co-creating the kind of world you want to be part of and quite frankly th...

You know your values and how you want to show up in them. 

But what happens when you're stressed, unsure or confused? 

What happens when you are moving out of  familiarity and into something new and different like say  business/private practice?

Whose values show up then? 

Today we're talking about default values.

Let's dive in.

In today's episode I'm chatting about my word for the year and a few other things going on.

I generally start with focussing on how I want to feel and how I want to show up for myself and my life and then I like to choose a word that supports me to go after that.

A word for the year isn't essential - as always, take what you need and leave what you don't.

Let's dive in.

This question is a great one for both reflection and planning if you are up to that at this time of the year.

It's supportive when looking at the big picture view - whose kind of world does my business cultivate. And when looking at smaller day to day decisions - whose kind of world does it cultivate if I say yes/no?

The world we have, the culture we are swimming in, doesn't just happen 'over there' or 'by them'. 

How you show up...

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 currently is, and then usin...

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?
