Urgency isn’t just a concept—it’s a felt experience that shows up in real moments. In the final episode of the No Nutrition Emergencies series, Bethany and Danielle walk through real-life scenarios where urgency creeps in—like when a client spirals after a binge, when you're tempted to over-deliver, or when silence in session feels unbearable.
They name the “fix-it” moments you’ve probably experienced, break down what’s really happening under the surface, and offer new responses rooted in safety, curiosity, and regulation.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to do more to prove your value as a dietitian—this episode will help you unhook from that urgency and reconnect with your clinical presence.

About the co-hosts:
Bethany Wheeler and Danielle Southern are both weight-inclusive registered dietitians in outpatient settings and each own a private nutrition therapy practice. They have known each other since 2012 when Danielle reached out to Bethany for guidance on how to become a registered dietitian herself. Since then, Bethany has mentored Danielle through her entire journey to become a dietitian. They both know and value the importance of registered dietitians having professional support and mentorship in their career and want to help make the journey for future dietitians a bit easier and more successful. Each week they will be taking on a topic that dietitians don't traditionally learn about in their university programs or internships, but is essential to a career as a dietitian. In other words, they'll be talking about all the stuff you wish you would have learned in school/internship, but didn't.
