EP.343: Create a Flow-Based Practice

Mindset, Podcast, Work Life Balance

As dietitians, we often get caught in the endless cycle of pushing harder, doing more, and feeling like we’re swimming upstream. In this episode, we’re diving into a game-changing approach to running your practice: flowing instead of forcing. We’ll explore the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between force-based and flow-based success, and why making this shift could be the key to both better results and greater fulfillment in your work.

Through real-world examples and practical exercises, you’ll discover how to identify where you’re forcing things in your practice and learn specific strategies for shifting into flow. Whether you’re building your client base, creating content, or managing your daily schedule, this episode will help you find a more sustainable, energetically aligned way of working that actually amplifies your impact.

 

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

 

  • The key differences between force-based and flow-based success in nutrition practice
  • How to identify force-based patterns in your work through the Energy Audit exercise
  • Practical examples of what flow looks like in client sessions, documentation, and practice management
  • Why creating space between activities can actually increase your effectiveness
  • Real-world strategies for transitioning from force to flow in your daily work
  • The counterintuitive truth about why slowing down can lead to better results
  • How to make decisions from a place of alignment rather than obligation
  • Specific steps for adding more flow to your practice starting this week

 

This episode offers a fresh perspective on practice management that honors both your expertise and your energy. You’ll walk away with practical tools for creating a more sustainable, aligned way of working that serves both you and your clients better.

Whether you’re feeling burned out from constant pushing or simply ready for a more intuitive approach to your work, these insights will help you create a practice that feels as good as it performs. Remember, success doesn’t have to feel like a constant battle – there’s another way.
