    One of the biggest complaints dietitians have is their compensation. We are a chronically underpaid field, and this can create a lot of money scarcity for us. How can we learn to have a more abundant, or secure relationship with money that allows us to make decisions in alignment with our true values and priorities -- without ignoring the fact that money is a necessity in our society? Listen in to hear Jess' take, originally aired as episode 119 during season 4.
