Do All of The Things

If youve ever looked at your lifethe credentials framed on your wall, the thriving practice you've built, the respect of your colleaguesand wondered why it doesn't feel as fulfilling as you thought it wouldyou'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 YOULL 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 failurethey'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.

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. Every share helps this message reach more women who are ready to live life on their own terms.

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.

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

• 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.

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.
