Plan to pause with Geordy Henderson
Show Notes

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.
