EP.325: The Parallel Struggles Between Food, Body, & Money

Do All of The Things

Have you ever noticed the similarities between your relationship with food& body and your relationship with money? In this episode, I dive deep into how struggles with body image and eating habits often mirror financial struggles, especially among dietitians. Drawing on my own experience and the patterns I've seen working with clients, we’ll explore how mindset blocks around food often show up in your money habits—and how healing one can help you heal the other.

Dietitians are particularly vulnerable to these struggles. Many of us have learned to prioritize others' well-being while neglecting our own, leading to underearning, undercharging, or even feeling guilty about making money. As we unpack the psychological ties between food, body, and money, you’ll begin to see how a scarcity mindset in one area can spill into the other parts of your life.

If you’re an RD who has ever struggled with your relationship with food & body, and you’re currently struggling with achieving your fullest earning potential, this episode is for you. I’ll share practical strategies to break the cycle of scarcity, move towards abundance, and realign your mindset for healthier habits so you can finally make more money as a dietitian.
