093: Do I HAVE to Niche Down? (and if so... how do I do it without feeling like an imposter?)
In this episode of The Dietitian Success Podcast, I answer the question - do you HAVE to niche down?
Let me guess… if you are listening to this episode, chances are one of the following things applies to you:
* You’ve been told that you need to “niche down”, but you have no idea where to start
* You feel like you’re not really an expert in anything specific at this point, so you don’t know what you would “niche” down into
* The thought of choosing a topic to declare yourself as a specialist in gives you intense feelings of imposter syndrome
* You’re worried that if you choose something specific, you will shut yourself off from other opportunities
Sound familiar? In this episode, my goal is to give you a framework that you can use to create focus and direction in your business journey without feeling like you're forcing yourself to choose a niche.

040: Food and Nutrition Trends for 2021
Thanks so much for joining us for episode 40 of the podcast. In this episode, we are going to be talking all about food and nutrition trends for 2021.
And - we've rebranded! What was formerly known as The Dietitian Project Podcast is now officially the Dietitian Success Podcast. This rebrand was a part of our larger strategy to align with the vision of Dietitian Success Center - to make it easier for dietitians and dietetic students to build expertise.
So, why is it so important for dietitians and rd2be's to stay on top of trends?
Because trends dictate human behaviour! So if you find yourself on the right side of a trend, whether that be the niche you choose or the content you create, you have a huge opportunity to reach a larger group of people.
So in this podcast, we are sharing our take on the top 10 food and nutrition trends for 2021.
