More details on how to save your spot for April:

The fall cohort of Counseling Skills for Dietitians Who Give a Damn is now ENROLLING!

RDs don’t typically get much training on the COUNSELING part of nutrition counseling, and we don’t always have the opportunity to be in community (especially if you’re in private practice), so this space is intended to create a soft place to land in both those realities.

This is an intimate 7-week course for RDs to deepen their skills in more relational, compassionate, anti-oppressive care. The group is capped at 15 participants to ensure a smaller, cozier feel and better learning. We’ll cover topics ranging from being better listeners, unlearning expert mode, unpacking our biases, an overview of how certain therapeutic modalities apply to dietetics, the nervous system, and more!

To learn more, you can check out my site here: https://www.moxie-mind.com/counseling-skills-for-dietitians-who-give-a-damn

If you’d like to get a feel for me and my teaching style, I’m offering a FREE webinar on Unlearning Expert Mode + counseling course info sesh next week, September 7th. Details here: https://www.moxie-mind.com/em-workshop

Please feel free to reach out if you have questions! Rooting for us all, always.

Grow your skills as an affirming registered dietitian while finding community with other clinicians who care deeply about their work. Led by q***r and trans RD, Charlie Golightly.

Just a few weeks left to sign up for Counseling Skills for Dietitians Who Give a Damn! This 6-week course is approved for 12 CEUs, includes recordings + recorded interviews with guest hosts (Dalia Kinsey & Malou Aragon), and a copy of Decolonizing Wellness. Join us in providing more affirming, compassionate care!

As dietitians we were taught: see a diagnosis, give a handout, word vomit a rehearsed education spiel, and send the client on their merry way. We weren’t trained to meet people in their humanity, and that’s where we are falling short.

If you’re yearning to leave sessions feeling more connected and confident you made a difference, join us this April for Counseling Skills for Dietitians Who Give a Damn!

Ok some of y’all are still in denial it’s almost 2023 (it’s me, I’m in denial), so time maybe feels less real right now BUT… early bird does end this Sunday evening. Our 6-week group starts in February, which definitely feels like a million years away but definitely isn’t. So if you needed a reminder: here it is ☺️

For all the RDs who show up with big hearts but worry they’re “not doing it right,” we will cover:

✨ Being a better listener

✨ Leading with empathy, instead of "expert mode"

✨ Unpacking biases - both personal and within the dietetics field

✨ Affirming care practices in action

✨ Understanding client's nervous system while regulating your own

✨ Therapeutic modalities applied to dietetics
..and more!

Raising kids to be "healthy" means teaching them about many forms of wellness. Don't we all want kind, loving relationships with our bodies?

The work, sweet friends, is in combatting fat phobia, not fatness.

Fat-shaming by doctors, family members, classmates, coworkers and friends is a global problem causing self-blame and avoidance of needed health care, according to two new studies of overweight people in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the UK and the United States.

If a doctor prescribed you a new medication with a 95-97% fail rate AND tons of side effects, you probably wouldn't take it. So why is dieting any different?

Post-pandemic weight loss ideas obscure facts about dieting that researchers have known for years.
