“It has to start with a place of, I’m acknowledging that it is about more than just financial success. It is about what do I actually desire my life to look like? And then can I take action and lead myself down that path. That’s self leadership.” —Kirsten [07:59]
A common block for women is that they are waiting for acknowledgement or guidance to move forward with an idea, a plan, a project, a business. We see this a lot in the dietitian space. The truth is that the most important permission that you need to do anything in your life is from yourself.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about self-leadership—what it means, why it’s important to embrace and take action on it, and how to be flexible through the ups and downs of the journey.
You have to first define what success means to you, and then go for it. Don’t let others’ opinions deter you from the life you want. Take responsibility for your actions, engage in supportive communities, and constantly push yourself towards your goals. Self-leadership will get you where you want to go.
What’s in this episode:
- [02:15] How self-leadership presents itself for women and dietitians and how you have to continue challenging and upleveling yourself through the ups and downs

- [22:24] How the self-leadership journey is a learning experience and it’s helpful to be open and willing to how it unfolds
