I Presented to a Room Full of Masters Students and Here Is What I Learned

Ever wondered what it really takes to land speaking opportunities at top universities and use your business to impact the next generation?

In this episode I'm sharing behind-the-scenes opf my experience presenting to Master's students at UC Berkeley. From how I landed the opportunity to the powerful lessons I took away from their questions, I'm breaking down the truth about entrepreneurship, showing up online, and why you don't need to have it all figured out to start.

Here's what you'll take away:

The networking moment that opened the door to speaking at UC Berkeley.
The biggest fears future dietitians have about starting a business—and how to overcome them.
Why vulnerability is more powerful than expertise when it comes to building trust online.
The myth that you need years of clinical experience before starting a business (and what you actually need instead).
Permission to start small—whether it's paying off debt, making a side income, or supporting your family.
How to pivot and shift your business as you grow without starting over.
Why building a personal brand creates limitless opportunities beyond coaching or programs.
The reassurance that you already know enough to help others—you just need to be a few steps ahead.

If you've been waiting for a sign to finally take the leap, this episode will remind you that you don't have to have it all perfect—you just have to start.
