About the show

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 Dietitian by trade and weirdo at heart, 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.

Pendulums and discernment points

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.Show notes, links, mentions & transcripts dietitianvalues.com/podcastContinue the conversation on Instagram @dietitianvalues

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.Let's dive in.Show notes, links, mentions & transcripts dietitianvalues.com/podcastContinue the conversation on Instagram @dietitianvalues

Cycles & acceptance

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 businessand so much more.Let's dive in...Want to dive deeper?

Doing work that makes a difference doesn’t guarantee a business that does things differently

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.LINKS:Capitalism, commerce & all that jazz Ep 88Are you really doing things differently Ep 156Values Audit Ep 173Show notes, links, mentions & transcripts dietitianvalues.com/podcastContinue the conversation on Instagram @dietitianvalues
