  • Libby Rothschild was a practicing dietitian who struggled to feel heard, seen and paid as a clinical job. She experienced burnout by trading time for money. To make ends meet she worked two jobs: serving as a full time clinical dietitian by day and a private practice consultant by night. After making only $55,000 from her clinical job and $30,000 more (per year) as a freelance dietitian Libby felt exhausted and time poor. She couldn't continue to work 80 hour weeks. Something had to change.

    One day she shared her story online and her peers saw that making money was possible. Her peers offered to pay her to help them make more money. The business Dietitian Boss was born inside of Libby’s windowless clinical office because Libby packaged information that she already knew and sold it online. Libby quickly saw that creating a course and online coaching was an enjoyable and cost effective model to save time while helping more people. Libby’s company Dietitian Boss has served over 1000 dietitians and student dietitians showing them how to start and grow an online private practice without the burnout.
