Description: Have you ever wondered what it's like to be in private practice? Have you wondered about how it works to be an entrepreneur who is offering a counter-cultural approach to food and nutrition?   Jessi Haggerty, RD is a fellow dietitian in private practice who also has a podcast, and joined me on the podcast to answer the most common questions we get about our work.    We go through the following questions and more:
  • How we got started
  • What we were most afraid of when we started
  • How we finally made the leap of faith
  • What happened when we started to take our businesses seriously and started making commitments
  • Our process of how to organize your business
  • What to consider when getting started with private practice
  • How to network and get referrals
  • How to decide about insurance 
  • Why we both started enforcing our policies (especially cancelation policies) and why it's hard to do it sometimes
  • How to keep yourself accountable to finish tasks and stay on schedule with due dates
  • Attracting clients with a HAES and non-diet approach
  • Getting over the fear and taking the plunge
  • How to deal with impostor syndrome
  • Whether or not it's true that you should get clinical experience before opening a private practice
  • How to navigate branding and marketing
  • EHR (electronic health records) versus paper charting
  • Whether or not we get sick of talking about food and body image all the time
