Welcome to Make More Money as a Dietitian, the podcast for nutrition professionals ready to build profitable private practice businesses that create more time, freedom, and flexibility, while supporting the life you want to live. I'm Christine Thomson, Registered Dietitian, Certified Life Coach, and Money Mindset Mentor. After mentoring hundreds of dietitians on everything from pricing to purpose, I know this: imposter syndrome isn't your weakness; it's your sign that you're ready to grow. Success isn't just about strategy; it's about building the confidence to charge what you're worth and create a business that reflects your values. Inside each episode, we'll break down what it really takes to thrive in private practice: from attracting aligned clients to raising your rates with confidence. We'll tackle the mindset shifts that transform imposter syndrome into your secret weapon, help you set boundaries that create true flexibility, and show you how to build the freedom you deserve without burning out. Whether you're drowning in low-paying client referrals or ready to finally own your expertise, this is where you learn to feel as confident in your business as you do in your clinical skills. Because how you feel about your worth matters just as much as your business strategy. If you're ready to make more money as a dietitian without sacrificing your values, your sanity, or your weekends, you're in the right place. Let's create your version of success. Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and share this with another dietitian who's done settling for less.

    Why I Haven't Recorded in 3 Weeks (And Why That's Actually Perfect)

    You know that feeling when someone disappears for a few weeks and your mind immediately goes to: "Are they okay? Did they give up? Is everything falling apart?" I haven't recorded an episode in three weeks. And honestly, I almost didn't tell you why. I just wanted to show up this week like nothing happened and keep it moving. But that's not how we do things here. Because what's been happening in these three weeks isn't what you think. I haven't been burned out. I haven't given up. And my business isn't failing. I've been in one of the most aligned seasons I've had in years. And it's looked like the opposite of what hustle culture tells us success should look like.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE   Why constant content creation might actually be blocking your next breakthrough The two seasons of business everyone experiences but nobody talks about (and why skipping one always backfires) What integration actually means and why it's where real transformation happens The pattern that's been keeping you stuck in situations way longer than you should be Why your "gaps" might actually be portals to your next level How returning to my prayer closet practice changed everything about my business clarity The difference between rest that's strategic and giving up that's reactive What I've been processing about marriage, business identity, and the future of this work   CONNECT & TAKE ACTION Find Christine: Email: christine@manipuracentre.co Podcast: Make More Money as a Dietitian on Apple Podcasts | Spotify Instagram: @money.mindset.dietitian Website: manipuracentre.co Your Next Steps: Step 1: Honor Your Season If you're in an integration phase right now, give yourself permission to step back from constant output. Real transformation requires space. Step 2: Join The Spring Equinox Experience If you're ready to trust yourself completely and create a life that actually aligns with who you've become, this retreat is for you.

    Start Before You're Ready

    If you find yourself stuck in endless research mode, watching YouTube videos about starting a nutrition practice while your actual practice remains an idea, you're not alone. So many dietitians tell me they need to know exactly how everything will unfold before they take their first step. They're spending months creating business plans for practices that don't exist yet, researching software for clients they don't have, and perfecting websites for services they've never delivered. Maybe you've been telling yourself you need a perfect business plan, the ideal website, or complete certainty about your niche before you can start working with clients. The perfectionist in you wants guarantees, and knowledge feels safe. But here's the uncomfortable truth: all that research and planning is just procrastination in a business suit. It feels productive, but it's not moving you forward. It's keeping you exactly where you are, just with more information. What if I told you that needing to know the full "how" is actually what's keeping you stuck? What if the less you knew about how everything would unfold, the better off you'd actually be? Today, I'm going to challenge everything you think you know about preparation and show you why starting before you're ready isn't just okay; it's your competitive advantage.     WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this episode, I'm sharing why the less you know about HOW to build your practice, the better off you'll be. This is for ambitious dietitians who are stuck in planning mode but ready to create real results through imperfect action.   Why "needing to know how" is really fear disguised as preparation How over-researching becomes a form of procrastination that keeps you stuck The success pattern every thriving dietitian follows (hint: they all started before they felt ready) Why clarity comes through action, not through thinking or planning How to practice "strategic unknowing" – focusing on what matters now vs. solving for every scenario The minimum viable action approach that creates momentum without overwhelm How to identify your next right step when you can't see the whole staircase   RESOURCES & LINKS Related Episodes: Episode 09: Personal Responsibility Episode 361: The 5-Figure Private Practice Blueprint: Your First Year Gameplan   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: Take One Imperfect Action Identify one thing you can do this week without needing to know the full "how" – maybe it's posting about your services or having one conversation with a potential client. Step 2: Join The Community Connect with other dietitians who are choosing action over endless planning in our free Facebook group, The Make More Money as a Dietitian Community. Step 3: Stop Over-Researching If you're tired of staying stuck in planning mode and ready to create real results, explore working with Christine privately at manipuracentre.co/booking.

    You're Number One

    You know that feeling when you wake up and your first thought isn't about your day, your dreams, or even your coffee, but instead it's about who needs what from you today? Your partner needs you to handle that thing they've been putting off. Your kids need you to solve their problems before they even head off to school. Your clients need responses to emails that came in overnight. Your team needs decisions. Your parents need check-ins. And somewhere in the back of your mind, there's this tiny voice asking, "But what about what I need?" And you push it down because there's no time for that right now. Too many people are depending on you. Too many responsibilities that can't wait. But what if we've got this completely backwards? What if the most generous, loving, impactful thing you could do for everyone in your life is to make your own life your number one priority?     WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this episode, I'm sharing why YOU’RE number one in your life (and why you need to start acting like it) so you can stop drowning in everyone else's needs and start creating the life you're meant to live.   Why we were conditioned to believe good women put everyone else first (and why that's killing us) The real cost of managing everyone else's life while yours is on pause How the "oxygen mask principle" goes deeper than you think Why your children need to see you prioritize yourself (not just hear you talk about it) The three questions to ask before saying yes to any request How to create non-negotiable time for yourself without guilt Why guilt is actually proof you're doing something different (not wrong) How to communicate this shift to your family and clients Christine's Personal Story: How her ex-husband's advice to their sons,  "You're number one," became the inspiration for this episode, and why every woman needs to hear that same message.   RESOURCES & LINKS Related Episodes: Episode 09: Personal Responsibility Episode 349: What I’ve Learned About Success, Self-Worth, and Starting Over at 55   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: Take This Week’s Challenge Identify one area where you've been putting everyone else's needs before your own and flip that script for the next seven days. Make it non-negotiable, like an emergency. Step 2: Notice What Happens Send me a message about what you're taking away from this pause. What resonated? What season are you honoring right now? Step 3: Share This Message If this episode resonated with you, share it with another woman who needs to hear that her life matters, too. She needs this tough love conversation and the reminder that she's number one.

    A Pause at 370

    After 370 episodes of this podcast, I'm sharing what I've learned about building a business that honors both your ambitions and your humanity. Sometimes the most aligned thing you can do is pause, reflect, and show up honestly instead of perfectly. Today's episode isn't about strategy or tactics, it's about the real journey of creating work that serves your life, even when that means admitting you need a nap at 2 PM.     WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why showing up honestly beats showing up perfectly every time How rest and reflection are actually business strategies, not obstacles to success The real transformation that happens over 370 episodes (hint: it's not what you think) Why honoring your current season might be more important than your next big strategy What it looks like to build a business that truly serves your life, tiredness, and all   RESOURCES & LINKS Related Episodes: Episode 48: The Power of the Pause Episode 324: Why External Actions Don’t Always Lead To Sustainable Results   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: Honor Where You Are What season are you in right now? Building? Pausing? Integrating? There's no wrong answer — just honest awareness. Step 2: Share Your Reflection Send me a message about what you're taking away from this pause. What resonated? What season are you honoring right now?

    The Life and Mindset Work Most Business Coaches Skip

    Your nutrition clients always think they just need a meal plan, but you know the real work goes so much deeper. They need to address their sleep, stress, relationship with food, and maybe some family boundary issues. The meal plan is just one piece of a much bigger puzzle. The same thing happens with your business. You think you need a marketing strategy - a better funnel, a new social media approach, maybe some sales training. But what you actually need is to address the life circumstances and limiting beliefs that are sabotaging your success behind the scenes. Here's the truth I've learned after working with dozens of dietitians: You cannot strategy your way out of life chaos. When your foundation is shaky - when you're emotionally depleted, operating from survival mode, or battling beliefs that you're not worth premium prices - no marketing tactic in the world will fix that.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this episode, I'm breaking down why so many brilliant dietitians are spinning their wheels in business, and it has nothing to do with needing another strategy. This is for dietitians who are tired of working harder but not seeing results, who know they're capable of more but feel stuck in patterns that aren't serving them. Here’s the breakdown:  Why traditional business coaching fails dietitians (and what's actually missing from most programs) The hidden "life circumstances" that sabotage business success - even when you have great strategies How limiting beliefs about your worth directly impact your pricing, client attraction, and growth potential The "emotional labor load" that's draining your business energy (and why no one talks about this) My Foundation-First Approach: the four steps to build a business that works WITH your life instead of against it Real examples of how addressing these deeper issues transforms businesses immediately Three powerful questions to identify what's really holding your business back   RESOURCES & LINKS Related Episodes: Episode 335: The Evolution of a Dietitian: Embracing Your Business Identity Episode 324: Why External Actions Don’t Always Lead To Sustainable Results   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: Do the Foundation Assessment Ask yourself these three questions from the episode: What life circumstances are currently working against my business success? What limiting belief is costing me the most money? If I could only fix one thing to support my business growth, what would it be? Step 2: Get the Support You Need Ready to stop flailing forward and start addressing what's really holding you back? Book an A la Carte Coaching Session where we get to the root of what's keeping you stuck and create the bridge between where you are and where you belong. Just $197 per session - book one or several based on your needs.

    The Real Reason Business Coaching Isn't Working for You

    You're doing everything "right" in your business, but still struggling to get where you want to be. You've bought the courses, hired the coaches, followed the frameworks to a T—and you're STILL not seeing the results everyone promised you'd get. Maybe you've even started wondering what's wrong with you, why everyone else seems to "get it" while you're stuck spinning your wheels. Here's what I've learned after working with hundreds of amazing dietitians: You're not failing at business. Business coaching is failing you by treating you like a machine instead of honoring who you are.  If you've ever felt like you're swimming upstream in your own business, wearing a costume that doesn't fit, or forcing yourself into someone else's mold, this episode is going to give you the permission you didn't know you needed.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this episode, I'm breaking down why traditional business coaching often fails sensitive, value-driven dietitians and how to build a business that truly honors who you are, so you can stop fighting against your nature and start leveraging it as your biggest advantage. Here’s the breakdown:  Why building someone else's version of success will always feel like swimming upstream The specific ways traditional business advice fails dietitians (and what to do instead) How to recognize when you're trying to fit into the wrong framework The permission you need to build a business that serves your life, not consumes it   RESOURCES & LINKS Related Episodes: Episode 343: Creating a Flow-Based Practice Episode 338: Breaking Up With ‘Should’ - Moving Past Professional Identity Limits   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: Stop Fixing Yourself You're not broken. You're just trying to fit into the wrong framework. Join our community of dietitians who are building businesses that honor who they actually are. Step 2: Honor Your Sense of Discernment Ask yourself: What has my intuition been telling me about my career and how I am uniquely wired to practice nutrition? Write it down. Don't overthink it. Just acknowledge it. Step 3: Build Differently If you're tired of forcing yourself into someone else's business model, explore working with me by booking a strategy session at manipuracentre.co/booking.

    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. Notice what happens when you show up from confidence rather than fear. Step 2: Honor Your Inner Wisdom Ask yourself: What has my intuition been telling me about my career that I've been afraid to act on? Write it down. Don't judge it. Just acknowledge it. Step 3: Do The Inner Work If you're tired of feeling like you need to have everything perfect and ready to trust your expertise, book a strategy session at manipuracentre.co/booking. Let's explore how your unique gifts can transform your practice.

    When Success Isn’t Enough

    Ever look at your successful practice and think, "This should be enough"? You have everything you thought you wanted: steady clients, professional recognition, maybe even the financial stability you once dreamed of. But there's a persistent feeling that something's missing, a voice inside saying, "There has to be more than this." Maybe you find yourself going through the motions of your workday, checking off tasks that used to excite you but now feel routine. Or perhaps you catch yourself daydreaming about what else you could be doing with your expertise, your time, your one precious life. That restlessness isn't a sign that something's wrong with you. It's your inner wisdom recognizing that you've evolved beyond the goals you set years ago, and it's time to honor that growth. You're not alone in this struggle, and you're definitely not ungrateful for wanting more. What you're experiencing happens when the achievements that were supposed to fulfill you start feeling disconnected from who you've become. The high achiever's dilemma isn't about wanting too much; it's about recognizing that you've outgrown the container you created and now it's time to build something that actually fits who you are today.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this episode, I'm sharing why successful dietitians often feel stuck and unfulfilled despite achieving their professional goals, so you can understand the difference between external success and internal alignment. This is for high-achieving nutrition professionals who have built something real but find themselves wondering if this is really what they worked so hard for. Here’s the breakdown:  Why traditional markers of success can become their own kind of mental bondage The hidden cost of being the "go-to" dietitian and maintaining professional expectations How your current success was built on who you were, not who you've become The real reason you feel stuck (hint: it's not about strategy or tactics) The three pillars of aligned success that honor both your achievements and your evolution Practical first steps to start realigning your practice with your current values and priorities Permission to want more than "successful on paper" without guilt or apology   RESOURCES & LINKS Related Episodes: Episode 320: The New 9 to 5 Episode 322: Reinvention   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: Join the Community Connect with other dietitians transforming their careers in our free Facebook group, The Make More Money as a Dietitian Community Step 2: Get Weekly Insights Sign up for the Manipura Centre Saturday Newsletter for mindset tips and business strategies specifically for experienced RDs at manipuracentre.co Step 3: Start To Love Your Work Again If you're tired of going through the motions and ready to create work that actually excites you again, explore how we can work together at manipuracentre.co/booking
