[167] Bonus Series - Being Wrong as a Dietitian with Jennifer McGurk, RDN, CDN, CEDRD-S
Description
Note: Empowering Dietitians is on a Maternity Leave hiatus January - April 2024. During this time, we will be re-airing top episodes of the show with new intros, updates, and insights.
In this episode, I chat with Jennifer McGurk - a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who is on a mission to support professionals to build a business that makes an impact in this world. Jennifer is the creator of Pursuing Private Practice, a business to help other dietitians build a weight-inclusive private practice.
We discuss Jennifer's top tips for fellow Dietitians - including why you don't need to be afraid of making mistakes, the importance of finding supervision early in your career, and the beauty and inevitability of pivots and evolutions in your career as a dietitian.
