Why Trusting Yourself is the Missing Link in Private Practice Growth

You're frantically preparing for client sessions again, convinced you need the perfect protocol and flawless notes to be "ready." I get it—so many dietitians tell me they feel unprepared, like they need everything mapped out perfectly before they can show up confidently for their clients. But here's what I know after working with hundreds of nutrition professionals: you're already more prepared than you think. That feeling of "I need to have it all figured out" is actually keeping you from accessing your greatest asset, your inner wisdom and professional intuition. What if I told you that your best client sessions might happen when you trust yourself enough to let go of the script and tap into what you already know?   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this raw, unscripted episode, I'm sharing why trusting your inner wisdom as a dietitian changes everything, from how you show up with clients to how fulfilled you feel in your career. This is for experienced nutrition professionals who are tired of over-preparing and ready to step into the confidence that comes from trusting their expertise. Here’s the breakdown:  Why over-preparing for client sessions might be holding you back from your best work How to distinguish between evidence-based practice and trusting your professional intuition (spoiler: you need both) The connection between teaching intuitive eating and trusting your career intuition Why seeing yourself as a healer, not just a nutrition expert, transforms your entire practice How the nutrition profession is evolving and why your unique gifts matter more than ever What it means to honor your inner wisdom in your career decisions Why business as usual won't work in 2025 and beyond   RESOURCES & LINKS Related Episodes: Episode 229: Becoming a Visionary Episode 168: Your Inner Glass Ceiling   CONNECT & TAKE ACTION Find Christine: Email: christine@manipuracentre.co Podcast: Make More Money as a Dietitian on Apple Podcasts | Spotify Community: Join 1200+ dietitians in The Make More Money as a Dietitian Community  Instagram: @money.mindset.dietitian Website: manipuracentre.co Your Next Steps: Step 1: Trust Yourself This Week Choose one client interaction where you'll trust your expertise instead of over-preparing.
