#45 Linia Patel | It took time to build my confidence back up & know my value when starting as a freelancer

Welcome to today’s episode #45 with Linia Patel, an award winning
nutritionist and dietitian in in her final year of her PhD in
Public Health. As a dietitian and nutritionist, she focusses on
sports and public health. She is a spokesperson for the British
Dietetic Association and regularly appears on national TV and in
the press - and with all that is able to follow her passion. Linia,
who’s passion it is to translate nutritional science into
easy-to-digest and practical advice, shares how she quite early in
her career figured out what she would like to do for a living. Hear
how deciding to become freelance was kind of an aha-moment,
combining her two worlds of interests - with staying freelance
having been one of the hardest decisions at a later stage. After
her business was taking off quite well, she decided to invest in a
PhD. What her key learnings are from making such decisions, she
will talk us trough in this interview. We discuss our own
experience with and the importance of social media when starting
your own business and get some helpful insights from Linia, e.g. on
how journaling motivates her when the going gets tough. We talk
about changing the focus to a long-term view, the need of having a
vision to enable behavioral change, why worrying is the biggest
waste of time and stepping out of one’s own comfort zone is so
important. Ready, tune in now! **** Are you facing a challenge that
