Kim Pearson didn't just build a nutritional therapy practice - she built one that's lasted 20 years and turned her into a go-to media expert along the way.

In this episode, Kim takes us back to 2008, when she was just starting out (and yes, undercharging like most of us do at first), through to today, where she's fielding negative online comments with the same confidence she brings to a TV interview.

Kim gets real about the client stories that stick with her, including the celebrities and high-net-worth clients most practitioners only dream of working with, and pulls back the curtain on how she approaches media appearances and case studies.

If you're newly qualified, she's got advice worth bookmarking: how to network without feeling sleazy, why believing in yourself matters more than any credential, and why authentic connection beats chasing business metrics every time.

We also dig into how Kim generates clients across different media channels, why having the right team behind you changes everything, and how she navigates tricky client situations without losing her professional boundaries - or her sanity.

In this episode, Karen sits down with Olivia, a newly qualified (NT), to discuss the real and raw experiences of starting out in practice.

Olivia opens up about the fears, insecurities, and high expectations that come with the first year on the job, sharing insights that will resonate deeply with those who are about to qualify or have recently qualified.

From candid discussions about her income to mistakes she made along the way, Olivia offers an honest account of her journey - with surprising accomplishments that she never thought were possible.

Whether you're on the verge of qualifying or have been practicing for a few months, this episode is packed with relatable moments, practical advice, and reassuring stories to help you navigate your nutrition business with confidence.
