    In this episode, originally aired as episode 118 of season 4, I chat with Stephanie Clairmont - former Registered Dietitian and current owner of The Leveraged Practice, a business dedicated to helping nutrition and wellness professionals avoid the burnout of 1:1 work by creating sustainable and scalable business models that suit their life goals.



    We discuss the systemic nature of healthcare provider burnout, and how each of our businesses aims to address those issues from different but complementary perspectives.

    [176] Bonus Series - Dietitian Money Scarcity

    Note: Empowering Dietitians is on a Maternity Leave hiatus January - April 2024. During this time, we will be re-airing top episodes of the show with new intros, updates, and insights.




    One of the biggest complaints dietitians have is their compensation. We are a chronically underpaid field, and this can create a lot of money scarcity for us. How can we learn to have a more abundant, or secure relationship with money that allows us to make decisions in alignment with our true values and priorities -- without ignoring the fact that money is a necessity in our society? Listen in to hear Jess' take, originally aired as episode 119 during season 4.

So empowering!

Jessica’s episodes are so honest, authentic, and relatable for the depth of what dietetics really is. It’s so refreshing and reassuring to hear the issues explained in a tangible way and that truly is empowering to reduce isolation and grow personally and professionally. Every dietetics student and professional or anyone who has regular contact with a dietitian should listen!

So refreshing

Jessica’s podcast is so refreshing, insightful and just plain entertaining. Not just for dietitians. Practical and useful information. Jessica is a talented interviewer and storyteller.
