PLEASE NOTE: The content in this video was heavily inspired by one of my mentors, Luke Peterson and Francis Chan. Francis Chan's YouTube channel just released a sermon on the Power Of A Quiet Life and that sermon inspired this video, make sure you go check it out. Also, the elephant in the room is that this YouTube channel doesn't seem like a "quiet life" for myself and that is something I am wrestling with. But I want to commit to the 91/9 Rule, keeping 91% of my righteous works in private and only 9% make it on the podcast.

Episode 3. Saying “Baa” in the Face of Danger
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 46:9-10, Matthew 10:16-18, Matthew 28:18-20

What's God's mission for his people in 2021? Why do we exist as Christ's church? What's our purpose in this world?

HAES® informed eating disorders dietitian Haley Goodrich joins Jennifer for an informative and heartwarming discussion on this episode of the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast.

Co-founder of INSPIRD to SEEK, a community for weight-inclusive healthcare professionals, Haley shares her story of how she evolved to become an advocate and educator of the HAES approach to dietetics. After quickly discovering early in her career that clinical dietetics was not her jam, she reflects how becoming an entrepreneur was the only way to practice the way she wanted. After opening a private practice which grew quicker than she anticipated, she studied Intuitive Eating as a tool, learned more about how to teach her clients about HAES, and worked toward being an eating disorders dietitian.

Now running a group practice with two other dietitians, Haley discusses the process of hiring, the satisfaction of employing others, and how success in a private practice is not always based on the numbers, but sustained growth by creating relationships with referral sources and practitioners in the area.

“I was tired of living really small, and I’d rather take a risk and live a bigger life than feel really safe inside my comfort zone, and I’ll figure it out.” – Haley Goodrich

Haley also tells how she took on the Eating Disorders Chair position in the Behavioral Health and Nutrition dietetic practice group from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, how it has helped her to communicate strategically, and the importance of HAES being embraced in the academy. She also shares how INSPIRD to SEEK evolved out of her own need for community at a time before any Facebook groups, and being the only HAES practitioner in Pittsburgh, PA.

Together they shine a light on the topic of collaboration instead of competition in the niche of anti-diet practitioners, and how we all bring our own message that is unique to help each other learn and grow.

“I truly think that competition in this space is a way to distract ourself from the real purpose of our work. We don’t need to compete against each other. We’re going against the grain and a $70 billion diet industry; that’s who we need to compete against.” – Haley Goodrich

Some of the topics discussed include:

• The privilege of being a Dietitian and being able to take the risk of being a business owner.
• The challenge of finding balance her professional and personal life.
• The importance of boundaries, how they shift, and managing time on social media.
• Her passion for supporting dietitians in private practice to shift to a weight-inclusive approach. 
• Her advice to new dietitians.

Jennifer welcomes Christy Harrison to this episode of the Pursuing Private Practice podcast to share her journey of becoming an Anti-Diet Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. As an industry leader, Christy is a passionate anti-diet advocate, educator and published author, and you’ll love hearing her story of how she built a successful business in alignment with her values.  

Reflecting on her own eating disorder, Christy shares her winding journey of discovering HAES and Intuitive eating. Working as a journalist in her first career and reporting on health and nutrition at a food magazine, her own recovery fueled her interest to return to school to become a registered dietitian.

Starting her private practice early on with the specialization of disordered eating, she recalls how she ardently pursued continuing education and deepened her learning of Intuitive Eating, and why she started her podcast to get at the heart of people’s relationship with food.

“If we want to prevent eating disorders at a public health level, we have to change the culture so people are not triggered into disordered eating by weight stigma.” – Christy Harrison

You’ll hear Christy’s process of creating her first online course - Intuitive Eating Fundamentals, plus all the steps she took with her first book deal, from pitching proposals to final product, and how working with a publishing company that believes in the Anti-Diet message was key.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• How her entrepreneurial family, and experience with freelance journalism prepared her for private practice and developed her business acumen and money mindset.
• Why she chose the direction of reaching more people with courses and writing a book instead of expanding her solo practice into a group practice.
• How she took her one-on-one client’s experiences and education piece of Intuitive Eating to build the structure of her course, and why working one-on-one for several years first was essential to its success.
• The power of the community that comes along with the online course and the need for more ongoing community support to help eating disorder recovery.
• Recognizing the privilege of being a successful entrepreneur and having time for creativity to write a book; the realization of her childhood dream.
• The ups and downs of having her book out in the world, and how she deals with negative feedback with the anti-diet message.

In this informative episode of the Pursuing Private Practice podcast, Jennifer is joined by Hannah Turnbull to shine a light on the pros and cons of taking insurance in a private practice.

Hannah discusses how her own eating disorder recovery drove her to choose dietetics as a career. After discovering Intuitive Eating while in school, she explains why it took a while to ‘click’, and how her journey of recovery strengthens her relationship with clients.

“Intuitive Eating is the reason I’m still a dietitian today.” – Hannah Turnbull

Always an entrepreneur at heart, she shares how her transition to a private practice began while still working full-time at a hospital, and how her varied work experience prepared her for running a business.

Now one year after transitioning from a solo to a group practice, Hannah tells how she hired her team to be in alignment with her values of a weight-inclusive practice, and how she leads the business and manages her employees.

Together, Jennifer and Hannah then dive into the topic of insurance, how she brought in her value system in her decision to take insurance, and the learning curve involved.

“For me it just made sense, I like to use my insurance when I can, and I want to make that one less barrier for somebody to be able to get care that they deserve.” – Hannah Turnbull

Some of the topics discussed include:

• Why she started taking insurance to be in alignment of her values to be accessible, inclusive and equal.
• Her learning process, and how she studied other HAES dietitians who were taking insurance to learn the first steps, and establishing a system.
• Why her practice is on 3 insurance panels, and instead of an all-or-nothing approach, why it’s okay to pick and choose and start with a few, and why she decided to not contract with some insurance companies.
• The importance of doing the research for your state, and utilizing the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’s individual state organizations and also local organization reimbursement chairs for localized information.
• The Pros of taking insurance, how it grew her practice, and provides better and consistent client care with weekly appointments.
• The Cons of taking insurance, dealing with the upfront work and delay to be accepted and the added expenses.
• How she handles reimbursement rejections to advocate for the client.
• The importance of policies and procedures and having clients sign off to understand.
• Why she created her first course “Nourish Your Knowledge” with colleague McKenzie Caldwell to provide a resource they wish they had earlier to better understand HAES and Intuitive Eating.
• Her plans for 2020 including speaking engagements and webinars to teach clinicians the steps to start taking insurance, and her role as an advocate to help clients have more access to insurance and support.

This episode of the Pursuing Private Practice podcast is not to be missed, as Jennifer sits down with Marci Evans for an incredible conversation that will inspire dietitians at all stages of their career.

As a leader in the field of eating disorders, Marci helps bust the myth of doing it all alone, and why working with teams and community is necessary to build a thriving business and to support her accomplishments in the dietetics industry.

Fortunate to discover Intuitive Eating early in her internship, Marci reflects back on how it shaped her career and her own relationship with food, and influenced her niching down to eating disorders and HAES. Working at a weight-loss centric gym while attending graduate school, she cultivated her entrepreneurial skills and developed her voice and message of weight-inclusive dietetics.

You’ll hear the process of how Marci transitioned from a solo practice to a thriving group practice, and the necessary risks involved. She also shares how after teaching a University program for clinicians working with eating disorders, she bridged the course curriculum to create her online training program, Nutrition Counseling for Eating Disorders, and how she later updated it with a 2.0 version. From there, she developed even more online training programs for dietitians, to meet the demand for specialized training.  

Along the way of building a thriving group practice and online training programs, Marci explains the absolute necessity of having a team of people to help get it all done.

“If you’re unable to surrender tasks to another person, you cannot build beyond your own individual practice.” – Marci Evans

Some of the topics discussed include:

• How her Master’s degree integrated nutrition and entrepreneurship with eating disorders counselling, and provided the foundation.
• Her process of growing a group practice and the steps of developing her online course.
• How her community feedback helped her build version 2.0 of the program.
• The lack of training opportunities in eating disorder counseling, why dietitians need to learn more about it, and her passion for continuing to expand the role of dietitians.
• The challenges of her unexpected maternity leave and transitioning back to work, and how she now navigates the middle ground without over-extending herself.
• Her advice for dietitians going into entrepreneurial ventures.
• Looking ahead to 2020 and what’s next.

“I feel really strong about continuing to elevate and expand the role of dietitians.” – Marci Evans

Jennifer is delighted to welcome Amber Thomas to this informative episode of the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast. As a Registered Dietitian specializing in Cancer Nutrition, Amber shares her journey and expertise of bridging an Intuitive Eating, weight-inclusive practice with oncology nutrition.

Having specialized in oncology for her entire dietetics career of 16 years, Amber tells how she became concerned with seeing cancer patients that wanted regimented diet protocols, and how they feared food and judged themselves for what they ate. When her friend and fellow dietitian Melissa Preston gave her the Intuitive Eating book, it transformed her approach with guiding her patients to a better relationship with food.

She also shares how Intuitive Eating helps patients heal after treatment from the psychological impact of cancer that can create a dissociation and mistrust of the body, and how the principles guide them to trust and listen to their body again.

“This is where I need to be guiding people to a better relationship with food, so they can choose foods that are health-promoting after cancer treatment, and not fear food like I was seeing.” – Amber Thomas

Some of the topics discussed include:

• Why she transitioned to private practice after working at a cancer center for 10 years, and how she found an online coaching approach to oncology nutrition. She feels it works the best to provide better support for her clients, and that online coaching provides balance with her family.
• The dynamics of working with the intersection between cancer, Intuitive Eating, and HAES, and how Medical Nutrition Therapy and Intuitive Eating can be integrated together.
• What dietitians need to know about cancer nutrition research, such as the harm in popular “prevention" food messages with black and white language, and how weight stigma shows up in cancer care.
• Why some Intuitive Eating principles have a lot of nuance during cancer treatments when tuning into the body is compromised, such as the signals of hunger/fullness and taste, and when flexibility is required.
• Why she wishes dietitians understood more about the trauma cancer patients experience, and encourages them to improve their counselling skills to better meet the patient where they’re at (financially, emotionally, physically) with more sensitivity to their circumstances.
• How being consistent with her message and offerings have benefited her private practice, and her plans for 2020 which include starting a podcast to provide education with a different message about cancer nutrition.

In this episode, I talk about how to maintain self-discipline while pursuing goals.

Many of us set goals but then have a hard time sticking to the things we know we need to do. Having a list in site can help, as well as having accountability partners.

Also try to create physical barriers to bad habits. For example, say you want to stop snacking late at night. You could put a lock on your pantry to physically keep yourself out (extreme but still effective).

There are many pathways to a full-time private practice, and Jennifer’s guest Glenys Oyston shares her journey of an incremental process to realizing her dream. Listen to her inspiring story of discovering Health at Every Size, niching down, and overcoming impostor syndrome on this episode of the Pursuing Private Practice podcast.

Glenys tells us about her experience of being a restrictive dieter in her twenties, and how she chose the Dietetics industry with the career goal of being a weight loss dietitian. Throughout her years of course work, her obsession with food restriction and fear of gaining weight was dominating her life, and upon discovering HAES as a student, reflects on the transformation it had on her perspective, breaking her free from the diet lifestyle.

Incorporating the principles of HAES with her inpatients and primary care work with spinal cord injuries and geriatrics, she met her future podcast partner Aaron Flores, RDN whom she learned about Intuitive Eating. All the while, she worked full-time with the dream of one day having her own private practice.

Glenys tells how she transitioned into a practice incrementally over three years, and dealt with impostor syndrome by pushing through and learning by doing.

“The only way to get through the fear is to go straight through it, and keep working at it until you’ve helped enough people that you start to feel good about it.” – Glenys Oyston

Some of the topics discussed include:

• How discovering Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating broke her free from restrictive eating issues, and empowered her to be okay with her natural body size. 
• The journey of starting her private practice with an incremental progression over several years; first with a blog in late 2014, ‘Dare to Not Diet’, then a podcast in 2015 with Aaron Flores, to taking her first clients in 2016.
• How she learned as she went, and has benefited from being one of the first to join the Pursuing Private Practice program (hyperlink?). https://jennifermcgurkrdn.teachable.com/p/ppp-for-ie
• How she dealt with fear of failure and impostor syndrome at each stage, and has built confidence by taking action and putting things in perspective to enjoy the ride. 
• Why she has narrowed down her niche of only working in areas she enjoys, and knows when to refer clients to other dietitians, without considering them as competition.
• The realization of her dream of full-time practice, and by making space for networking, more clients came.

“I’m in competition with the diet industry. I don’t buy the traditional competition model. I’m there to lift up my fellow dietitians.” – Glenys Oyston

Think you need to wait for life to settle down before starting your private practice? Julia Werth didn’t think so. Growing her practice did not take a back seat to planning a wedding for Jennifer’s guest on this episode of the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast. You’ll be delighted to hear Julia’s story of how she successfully balanced both, and manages a dual career as an Intuitive Eating Registered Dietitian and a journalist.

Julia discusses her own previous struggle with an eating disorder as an athlete, and dealing with the body image pressures that came with being a dancer and runner.

She shares her story of recovery while studying nutrition and discovering Intuitive Eating during her Dietetic internship, and how she started her own business right away, specializing in eating disorder recovery, inspired from her own experience.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• Why she didn’t wait until after the wedding was over to build her business. 
• How Julia’s approach of ‘act now, think later’ launched her practice so quickly after her internship, and the virtues of learning by doing.

Jennifer welcomes Heather Caplan, founder of WIND, to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast.

Providing events focused on continuing education and connection for weight-inclusive dietitians, WIND fills a gap in the industry by bringing dietitians together for community, education and connection where weight-inclusive care is the norm.

The story of how WIND was conceived, launched and has evolved is what Heather shares with Jennifer in this episode. Together they discuss her own journey of overcoming an eating disorder, the process of un-learning, and the initial confusion of establishing her role as a dietitian with a weight-inclusive approach.

When she discovered the paradigm of Intuitive Eating, Heather expanded her learning curve and embraced the weight-inclusive niche that led to opening her own private practice. Now three years into her own business, together they discuss how a natural progression happened from working with clients, to also supporting other dietitians, and the reward of giving back to the profession and helping to shift the perspective in the industry.

“If we’re not having these topics represented at the major Dietetic conferences, let’s have our own conference.” – ­Heather Caplan

Some of the topics discussed include:

• The ways her private practice has evolved from its origins with her prior clientele as a running coach.
• How starting a nutrition podcast early on was the key to growing her practice, and why she shifted her message from addressing clients, to other dietitians who were already listening. 
• What sparked the idea to start hosting small conferences to supplement the limited number of HAES-aligned sessions at FNCE.
• How she tested the concept, gathered support, and successfully hosted a small sold-out test event in February 2019 that Jennifer spoke at.
• The benefits of in-person smaller events versus hundreds of people, and the lessons she’s learned with limited event planning experience.
• How WIND is evolving, Heather’s plans for upcoming events in 2020, and how dietitians can get involved.

Jennifer kicks off 2020 by welcoming Intuitive Eating industry leader Evelyn Tribole to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast.  This first episode of the year is full of Evelyn’s personal insights, reflections and stories on the Intuitive Eating movement, and is not to be missed.

With the much anticipated release in 2020 of the 4th edition of Intuitive Eating: An Anti-Diet Revolutionary Approach, Evelyn reveals to Jennifer what’s been changed, what motivated her and co-author Elyse Resch to modify it, and their surprising need to scrub weight stigmatizing statements.

Evelyn discusses her supervision training experiences with other healthcare professionals, and how Intuitive Eating is moving beyond Dietitians to other specialties and international professionals. She acknowledges how the Intuitive Eating principles are utilized differently by other practitioners, the importance of teaching the same message, and adhering to scope of practice as the movement continues to grow globally.

Together Jennifer and Evelyn reflect on how the Intuitive Eating movement is still evolving, and how Evelyn balances work and life with all the big changes for Intuitive Eating over the past few years.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• How Intuitive Eating has evolved and changes to the book’s 4th edition coming out in June, 2020.
• How Evelyn uses her support system to run her business, her meditation practice, ways she juggles work-life balance to stay energized, and what she would tell her younger self.
• Her recent entry to Instagram, discovering the online community, and her new role as an Instagram influencer.
• How the marketing efforts of certified Intuitive Eating Counsellors can cross the lines with weight loss and the need to be in alignment to represent the brand, and ways different marketing approaches can be very successful and explodes their practice.
• What's next for Intuitive Eating, and her plans to train more health professionals to continue impacting the world.

“I’ve had so many Dietitians tell me they were about to quit the profession, and then they found Intuitive Eating and it lifted them up.” –Evelyn Tribole
