"Meat and Potatoes" Weekly Wisdom

Inspirational quote in black letters on a white background.

What kind of dietitian are you?

There are no limits for the kind of dietitian you want to be. None. If you want to be a dietitian who specializes in different types of peanut butter, do it!  I know that seems a little wild but what I am saying is you do not need to get another certification or degree to do what you want to do - you have that already. Practice what you enjoy and gets you excited to help others. I have talked with dietitians who don't dietitian anymore (meaning they do not work with clients) but have honed their skills in a lot of different areas - marketing, research, teaching, business, communications, sales, accounting, finances, human resources, project management, IT, culinary, do I dare keep going? You are more than a dietitian. 

YOU ALSO DON'T HAVE TO BE ONE KIND OF DIETITIAN FOR LIFE. 

What you are doing now might not be your forever job or passion. Things will happen, life will happen that changes your trajectory. Be open to what is out there in the world, listen, talk with others, doodle and dream. You will always be you at your core and let the journey take you where you want and are destined to be. I will always be a meat and potatoes kind of dietitian but the toppings, that's where it gets interesting.
