EP.329: Breaking Free from the 'I'm Not Here for the Money' Mindset in Dietetics

Do All of The Things

As dietitians, we enter our field driven by a passion to help people live healthier lives. But often, there’s an underlying belief that follows us: “I became a dietitian to help people, not to make a lot of money.” While it sounds noble, this mindset can limit our professional growth, financial stability, and even our ability to fully serve our clients.

In today’s episode, we explore the origins of this common belief and how it impacts not only our careers but also our well-being. Together, we’ll look at the hidden costs of holding onto a “service over earning” mindset and how shifting our view of money can lead to greater impact, fulfillment, and financial freedom.

Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned pro, this episode will challenge you to rethink the way you view your earning potential and financial success as a dietitian. By reframing money as a tool for impact and self-respect, together we can grow into new levels of empowerment in our field.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

• The historical and cultural origins of the “not here for the money” mindset in dietetics

• How this belief can lead to financial strain, burnout, and reduced impact

• Ways to reframe money as a tool for achieving your mission and expanding your reach

• Practical strategies to start overcoming this limiting belief

• Addressing common fears and objections about charging for your services

• Action steps to begin embracing financial empowerment as a dietitian

This episode is about challenging the beliefs that hold us back and redefining our relationship with money in a way that enhances our mission to help others. And remember, thriving doesn’t just benefit you—it paves the way for future dietitians to step into their full potential. After you listen, let me know your thoughts and share this episode with a colleague who might need this empowering reminder!
