Dietitian Values: Recent Episodes
Laura Jean
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 Accredited Practising Dietitian, 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.
We don't have community, we do it.
If you want more community and or connection in the communities your part of it's an active thing. Being in a community is more than just being there!
In this episode we cover:
-
what is community, definitions & general word nerdery
-
community spaces as fertile ground not fait accompli
-
In person vs online community, is there even a difference?
-
practical tips, strategies and thoughts to support you to get cultivating
-
and all the rest of the things (gardening references as expected!).

Often in the world of business-as-usual we are presented with options and decisions that lead to pendulum swinging.
Either or decision making.
You're either getting with the program and leaving your values behind (or simply not having the space or time to consider them) OR you're feeling like to choose your values you have to swing in a whole other direction.
Good vs bad. Right vs wrong. This or that. Business savvy or not.
BUT what if there is another option? Or, to be more accurate, another infinite amount of options guided by your values, your resourcing, your capacity, your vision for your business, yourself, your community and the wider world.
Let's dive into pendulum swings and discernment points.

Business growth is an often purported term that has become defined by expectations of continual growth, 'more, more, more' and a constant state of doing business.
But is constant growth even possible?
In todays' episode we are diving into things:
-
defining growing and growth
-
looking to nature for example of growth
-
challenging some of the preconceived 'facts' about growth in the status-quo-upholding business spaces (and highlighting some contradictions)
-
looking at growth as a stage of your business and how to define it grounded in your values so that you can go after sustainable, cyclical growth that takes you where you want to go.
Growth isn't bad....just a little misunderstood.

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, let's chat about:
-
what I mean by all this
-
how to notice your cycles and cyclical patterns
-
acceptance of cycles
-
actions and practices that support transitions in and out of different cycles
-
how to plan for the cyclical nature of things inside your business
and so much more.

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 what being 'trauma informed' in business means.
Let's dive in.

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 episode I’m offering up space, seeds and contemplation questions to do a little critical analysis or audit of what is actually happening in your business so that you can get clear on whether it’s continuing the difference making of your work or in tension to it.
Let’s dive in.

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.

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 while we are chatting today.

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.
From productivity to work to rest we have been and continue to be submerged in these dehumanising systems. We are IN them....the work is choosing and actively resisting being OF them.
In this episode I'm wrapping some words around all this and offering some ways to begin uprooting and dismantling.

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

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.

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 matters. Yes, at the bigger picture view AND also in your day to day life. How you show up is exactly what cultivates that life.
So, whose world (or life) are you cultivating?

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 using that as the space to sit in and, if you're ready, plan from.
Let's dive in.

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
- soup-remacy culture and community
- annoyance, inconvenience and nervous system activation
- redefining community through our own values
- and so much more...

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 stage we are in or the climate of the political/economic/cultural.
Today we'll chat about those different layers or nests of seasons, how to get curious and how to bring both alignment and compassion in your business and your life.

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 critical of what's going on.
Of course we'll be chatting values in there and I'll be offering up a quick litmus test you can use to see if your 'shoulds' are actually taking you where you want to go.

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 for yourself and then as a way to signal to the humans in your ecosystem that they're not alone.
A reminder to ourselves and others that we are human, doing our best to human and hoping that we can human together.
If you feel unsure, if you feel uncomfortable, if you feel called to - wrap words around it and share it.
All the words and the nuance and a few caveats in this ep.

If you're guilty of prioritising everyone else's needs and agendas over your own then this one's for you!
Health and helping professionals are notorious for de-centreing their needs and I want to present an alternate option that isn't a pendulum swing into 'selfishness' but an acceptance and awareness of your own needs and how meeting those reduces both resentment and burnout.
There's a million ways to plan, and this is less a prescriptive step-by-step and more a concept to hold as you being any planning for the calendar year ahead or at any time.
No need to 'make 2025 the best year ever' (unless you want to of course) AND I invite you to consider how you could make it the most you-est year ever.
The year where your priorities are a priority in your planning and by extension, your business.

Today's episode let's chat about a couple of things.
Firstly - celebrating. Celebrate your wins, celebrate what you're proud of, celebrate you!
This time of year it's so easy to move into planning and looking ahead. Culturally we are encouraged to keep moving onto the next thing, the next goal, the next achievement. So i'd like to invite you to first notice and celebrate.
Secondly - aligning with your seasons and rhthms.
Again, there is a cultural/social message that this time of the year is for certain things. BUT we exist in different parts of the world and are all experiencing different seasons of life. So my question for you is - what actions or inactions align with your current season, capacity and resourcing?

Does comparison-itis get you thinking everyone else has it figured out and it's just you that can't get this business thing sorted?
Or do you simply just get overwhelmed and/or distracted by all the business things out there to do, try and implement?
In today's episode I want you to know that you're not doing 'it' wrong....you're probably just trying to fit yourself into somebody else's idea of what it looks and feels like to do business.
Just like how you know your clients aren't doing it wrong - they're just being gaslit by diet culture. I know you aren't doing it wrong either - it's just the same values trying to make you believe it.

Pricing is a hot topic for most health and helping professionals.
Today I want to dive into a little reflection and some curiosity around what values you are bringing to your pricing model.
Status-quo upholding businesses will be based in capitalist pricing structures aimed to exploit and extract. Usually health professionals are so worried about doing this to the humans they work with (ie.clients) that they pendulum swing the other way and extract from themselves.

It’s not always possible to act into your values.
Sometimes your commitment to safety will override your values based alignment.
You are, after all, existing and running a business within systems and norms that are invested in trying to keep you acting from safety. Acting from urgency. Acting without critical analysis. Acting without space to ground in your values.

Here we are, half way through 2023. Let's pause.
Reflection is a great tool to use regularly in your business. AND it's often easy to get caught up in the day to day and leave it for the once a year thing.
These prompts are an invitation to slow and pause and get clarity on where you are and where you want to go.
Use them as regularly as they feel supportive. Take what you need and leave what you don't.

You are not a machine.
Unfortunately, traditional approaches to creating a business ask you to act as one.
Uniform outputs. Constant productivity levels. Optimum performance.
Basic inputs. Minimal rest. No demands
Ignore human needs. Disregard your changing energy and capacity. No consideration for difference in resourcing for each individual or within an individual's experience.
It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to replicate the same system in your business.

What does living a rich life look and feel like to you?
This is a term coined by Ramit Sethi and it's all about getting clear on your priorities and the things you love so you can spend money on them and live your rich life now.
And I think it aligns with a values aligned way of being - money is a resource, a tool - so you can get clear on your values and the things you values and put your resources into those to live your rich values aligned life.
Today I thought I'd share my rich life (inspired by Shante Cofield over on Maestro on the Mic dropping hers recently).
What does your rich life look like? How can you start living it today?

Go forth and sprinkle ALL the seeds. They may not all germinate...but also, maybe they will.
Don't worry, this hasn't turned into a full gardening podcast (yet!) - I'm talking metaphorical seeds. But absolutely feel free to sprinkle all the literal seeds too!
This episode is encouragement, a rally cry but mostly an ode to hope.
When you are doing things differently. When you are at the edge of a space forging into the unknown - your profession, the way you do business, your dreams for your life and the world - it can feel hard.
This podcast is a seed of hope I'm sprinkling in your direction.

Words are not used or defined either neutrally or objectively.
The values of the culture and systems we are part of can be found liberally applied to the words we use and by extension how we feel about them, ourselves, our actions and outcomes.
In business (and life) 2 such words are success and failure.
In today's episode I want to take these words back to their origins and offer up some thoughts and outline how you can apply your values based lens to them.

Does selling your services leave you feeling some sort of way? If so, this one's for you.
I'm offering up a reframe that I use and that I share with the humans I support to reconsider how you think about letting folks know how they can work with you.
You don't have to resort to skeazy sales tactics nor do you have to silently hope that people will just figure it out themselves. You can share what you're up to in a way that give people information without pressure.
A way to share how to work with you and still leave the decision for someone to do so in their hands. And that first part is important because they can't say yes OR no if they aren't given the opportunity.

Humaning feels hard right now - overwhelming and heavy.
I believe we are at a turning point. The systems we are part of are pulling us (and in some cases pushing us) back to business as usual.
BUT perhaps amongst all the feels of the past 3 years you had a taste of life lived in a different way. A glimpse of life outside of hustle and grind.
Or, perhaps amongst all the feels of the past 3 years you had a moment to pause and ask 'what do I want from this one wild and precious life'?....What did your heart answer?
Today's episode is an invitation to ask yourself two questions:
- what if you didn't go back to business as usual?
- what if you cultivated a new way, your way, forward.

Accountability. It's a word that gets thrown around a lot. It's something that many entrepreneurs are looking for.
But what is it that you are really looking for when you go searching for accountability. What needs are you looking to be met.
I'll be honest...
Accountability. I hate the word, as I hate hell and all montagues...(any R&J fans out there?). I digress.
Let's chat about accountability today - the origins of the words and the very human needs you might be looking to get met when you go searching for it.
And, as always I'm offering a way to use your values to take you where you want to go.

- Get your values out of your head and your felt sense of them and into a form you can articulate
- See a clear path to embedding your values into your business
- Do business things with your values leading the way...and sometimes it feels easier to ignore certain parts of biz
- take imperfect action as you find your values alignment in business

PSA: if you do things differently, with the same values in place you'll get the same results.
Until you get clear on your values and embed them into the very foundation of your business and all the rest nothing will change.
Well, that's not entirely true - you will move towards either burnout or someone else's version of sucess.
If you feel like you need more time, money, clients, systems in your business I urge you first to consider the values foundation and values based markers you are moving towards.

Today I’m in conversation with Geordy Henderson chatting about her experience as a dietitian and what she’s dreaming into for our profession
Geordy is a HAES and non-diet Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD) based in Australia. Her work focusses on both supporting youth with eating disorders and families in the area of pregnancy and postpartum nutrition.
This year she has launched a new project. After experiencing burnout over and over again in her studies and career, Geordy noticed that other dietitians were feeling a similar type of way. This has led to a passion for creating a space where dietitians are encouraged to rest, to slow down when they feel called to and to turn to connection over competition. This is where Plan to Pause was born.
In this chat we talk about many things, including:
- Geordy’s burnout
- moving out of dietetics and coming back to it again
- clarity of values
- the importance of pausing, and
- an exciting space that Geordy is opening up and holding for dietitians around pausing and resting.

You're not alone.
Often there is a lot of pressure internally and externally at this time of year. A lot of expectations and a lot of arbitrary 'end dates' to things as the calendar inches towards the end of year.
In today's episode I'd like to offer up a few invitations to get curious around the opportunities for shifting things towards more values alignment at both a macro '2023' level and the micro daily level of the moment to moment.
And maybe shift things so that you can avoid the end of year overwhelm from here on out.

No, not your followers, likes or website traffic, your financial numbers.

What exactly does it mean to be trauma mindful in business?
Why is being trauma mindful essential for a human centred business?
That's exactly what I want to dive into in this episode. Of course, the whys of doing things are subjective, but I want to offer up the following for your consideration.
Why be trauma informed in business - here's the top 3 reasons (IMO):
- All humans have experienced or exposure to trauma - if you're interacting with humans you're interacting with trauma.
- An individual's interaction with your business begins well before they say yes to working with you.
- If you want things to be different you've got to do things differently.
In this episode I break these reasons down and, hopefully, plant a seed for you to consider why you might become trauma mindful in your business practices.

In the business and coaching space there’s a lot of talk about scarcity. A lot of actions and strategies both driven by and based on the manipulation of this very human driver.
The alternative offered up to ‘combat’ scarcity is usually abundance. And this is positioned as the ‘good’ opposite to scarcity.
However, I’ve got a bit of a difference around this. So, I want to share some of my thoughts and invite you to consider a few things when it comes to both scarcity and abundance.
And I want to offer up an alternative to them both - a values driven alternative of course.
Let’s dive in.

Running a business requires a lot of decisions. It requires you to be taking action and moving forward,
And as a dietitian or health professional one of the things that can get us stuck is the desire to do the 'right' thing (or not wanting to do the 'wrong' thing).
We can also get stuck in fear, a lack of confidence, the drive to please and the discomfort with disappointing.
And so making decisions and taking action can become a little fraught.
Enter your values - a space to ground in and offer an opportunity to move beyond the right/wrong binary in your business (and beyond).
Lets chat about how it works in practice and how you can use your values as a space to ground in and respond from.

Let's dive in.
Let’s chat boundaries.
Who’s got ‘em, who needs ‘em and just who is responsible for following through on them (spoiler - it’s you!).
Boundaries are simply your commitment to follow through on your values…but if they’re so simple why do they feel so hard?

Okay, now that we have a shared understanding of values (part 1) and you've got your values list (part 2) let's see just what's going on in your actions and how you show up.
Whose values can be found in your actions right now?
It's all well and good to know what your values are but are you acting into them? And if not, why not?
In this 3rd and final part of the finding your values series I'm sharing how you can get curious around what's going on for you and your values right now.
Let's dive in.
What exactly are your values?
In this episode we'll chat about the three places you can start looking for your values, including but going beyond values assessment tools.
And we'll talk about how to make action based values statements that you can actually put into practice in your business and life.
Today's episode is part 2 of a 3 part series on finding your values...or at least making a start, because finding your values is really an ongoing thing. If you haven't, I suggest checking out part 1 first.
Let's dive in.
Let's chat values, and specifically let's start with a shared understanding.
In this episode I'm sharing how I define values and some of the things I hold around values.
Today's episode is part 1 of a 3 part series on finding your values...or at least making a start, because finding your values is really an ongoing thing.
Let's dive in.
Today I want to talk about hierarchies. How they show up in any space where there is difference.
Today is also an exercise in challenging the cultural values that tell me I have to have things all figured out before talking about them. In lieu of answers or expert status around this I'm instead offering up some thoughts and questions for reflecting around and starting a conversation that I think it's important to have.
Let's dive in.
Today I'm in conversation with Jane Charlesworth an anticapitalist coach who supports people to recognise and unlearn their patterning, without shame, to build flourishing lives rooted in sufficiency.
Jane and I talk about redefining success, navigating the straddling of changing and existing in the system at the same time, permaculture and ecosystems.
Let's dive in.
Today I want to talk about acceptance as a starting point. And particularly as it relates to harm and supremacy culture.
In light of current experiences of harm being shared in the HAES(R) space we, providers/professionals who hold a lot of privilege, need to do the work of examining how we show up in the face of harm and how the values of the system around us is enacted by us.
And I think it starts with acceptance.

Traditional business is transactional. A values driven, human centred, trauma informed business is all about relating.
Relating to yourself, the humans you want to work with and the humans you want to collaborate and hold space with.

And also challenge you a little to take action to add or deepen the relating in your business.

Today I'm adding some nuance to the conversation around values.
Often on 'find your values' lists and exercises I see things listed that aren't really values, but more spaces where you act into your values - they are things you value.
Values are verbs - they aren't simply things that are important to you they are ways of showing up that are important to you. They talk to the way you want to act in the world and the kind of world you want to build.
So, if your values aren't actionable then how can you show up in them?

Connections are a key to growth, for both you and your business.

Where do you figure in your business? Have you built a business that actually has space for you? Your needs, your wants?
Or are you creating a space where everyone else gets included but you?
Today I want to chat about that exact thing and offer up some prompts to reflect on your business, where it is now and where you want it to take you.
Let's dive in.
Doing business differently needs to include joy...otherwise why are we doing it in the first place?
If the work you do is in aid of building a 'better' world I'm guessing that vision includes joy too.
So, today's episode is a reminder, if you need it, to find and make time for joy.
And once you do, a gentle encouragement to share it.
Let's dive in.
If you've been overlooking your wins, the little day-to-day ones and the big picture ones, today's episode is a reminder to take time to take stock and celebrate.
Humans can tend to have a little bit of a negativity bias, so if celebrating your wins doesn't come easily know it's not you...and know that making an effort to shift and add in the celebrations has a myriad of impacts.
So, as 2021 comes to a close here's the reminder, if you need it, to celebrate the wins, celebrate you.

Urgency culture would have you filling all your time and all spaces and gaps to do, to act, to rush forward.
The pause creates a space to ground into your values. The pause creates a space to respond from.
How can you work with pauses that are thrust upon you from external forces? How can you build pauses into your business for sustainability, reflection, alignment and growth?

If you interact with other humans in any way in your business - clients, collaborators, partners, staff - then you will be interacting with trauma and its impacts.
A human centered business is a trauma informed one. There is lots of research and documentation to support and outline how to be trauma informed in the clinic room and around service provision.
But when I went searching for how to be trauma informed in the running-the-business side of things I came up blank....and so I created my own framework.
In this episode I'm introducing the six principles of trauma informed business practices.
Let's dive in.
Where do you want to go? What's your big picture dream?
Business can get us swept up in the tactics and details, which are important.

Running your biz by someone else's values is unsustainable, it leads to burn out and it leaves your true self unseen, unheard and unknown - and the world needs you in it. Your business needs you in it. The humans you work with need you.
Getting clear on your values is one thing - disentangling your true values from those that have been socially and culturally programmed for you to follow is another.
In today's episode I'm talking about how to start that process, why it's important and practical suggestions to support you as you go.

Do you put the pressure on to get it all done? All by yourself? All the things?
And then do you end up overwhelmed with an ever growing to do list?
In this episode I'm talking productivity, perfectionism, procrastination and the to-do list. I'm offering up some observations and a strategy of sorts for you to consider to get the to-do list sorted and, most importantly, decouple your worth from what you do.
Let's dive in.
What values do you bring into your business?
And equally importantly - who's values do you bring into your business? Yours or someone else's?
Without getting clear on your values you are likely to default to professional or cultural norms. Running your business by someone else's values is guaranteed to lead you to burnout and resentment - not exactly a recipe for success.
In today's episode I'm chatting all things values - what are they, how do they differ from things you value and how to get clear on yours. And of course, why they are so important in building a flourishing business.
Let's dive in.
Who's version of a dietitian are you conforming to? What kind of dietitian do you actually want to be? Is there a disconnect?
In today's episode I'm talking about the idea of the 'good' dietitian, suggesting some opportunities to challenge the status quo and ultimately, an invitation to be your kind of dietitian. I'm also sharing a little about how I came to be a dietitian (spoiler I didn't really know what I was signing on for!).
