Dietitian Values
The Dietitian Values podcast is a space for conversations that go beyond lip speak, challenge the status quo and, bring us together to learn and unlearn in connection and community. Join me, Laura Jean Dietitian by trade and weirdo at heart, as I chat to insightful guests, brain dump my thoughts and start those kind of conversations where we'll probably end up with more questions than answers. Let's create a space for encouraging and inspiring accountable action.

Plan to pause with Geordy Henderson
Today I’m in conversation with Geordy Henderson chatting about her experience as a dietitian and what she’s dreaming into for our profession
Geordy is a HAES and non-diet Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD) based in Australia. Her work focusses on both supporting youth with eating disorders and families in the area of pregnancy and postpartum nutrition.
This year she has launched a new project. After experiencing burnout over and over again in her studies and career, Geordy noticed that other dietitians were feeling a similar type of way. This has led to a passion for creating a space where dietitians are encouraged to rest, to slow down when they feel called to and to turn to connection over competition. This is where Plan to Pause was born.
In this chat we talk about many things, including:
- Geordy’s burnout
- moving out of dietetics and coming back to it again
- clarity of values
- the importance of pausing, and
- an exciting space that Geordy is opening up and holding for dietitians around pausing and resting.
