This month, I launched a new program -- and it did not exactly go as planned. In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing a really raw, honest look at how I took it. (Spoiler alert: not well.) I talk about what specific factors led to some extra susceptibility to imposter thoughts and a heightened emotional response, how I recovered, and what I'm doing to feel confident moving forward. If you can relate to this story, know that confidence is possible! Get started with my free download, a 10-day journal for dietitians, at www.empoweringdietitians.com/free -- and of course you can always connect with me on Instagram, @empowering.dietitians!
