Feeling stuck playing it safe? Learn how bold, imperfect action helped Dietitian Deanna grow a career she loves—and how you can do the same.

Playing it safe might feel familiar — but it’s also the reason so many dietitians stay stuck, underpaid, and invisible in their careers. In this episode, we sit down with Dietitian Deanna to talk about the real, messy, imperfect steps that helped her grow a wildly successful business and online community.

Together, we explore the fears, risks, and mindset shifts behind being seen, taking up space, and doing things differently — even when it feels uncomfortable. This conversation is a permission slip for any dietitian who knows they’re meant for more but doesn’t know what the first step should be.
