Hello and happy Thursday! Over the past few weeks I’ve thought about going down to a 3 posts/week schedule and I’m going to implement that starting next week as we enter June. I’ve oscillated between a M/T/Th/F and M/W/F schedule over the years and have been on the 4x/week schedule for the past six months, but feel like it’s best to change things up as things change professionally over here. So I hope you’ll stick around and come back next week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for new posts!
I’m really looking forward to hiring a new RD to join Real Life Women’s Health so if you applied for that position, you’ll get an email on Friday from me! Let me just say, you all that applied are incredible dietitians.
I’ll also be starting an NP job in June working at an inpatient eating disorder treatment center. I’m beyond excited to step back into a clinical NP role. It has been a much longer road than I anticipated with licensing stuff and a narrower job field than I expected, but I feel really grateful that I’ve found what feels like a really good fit and opportunity for growth.
And as we bring on a new RD, I’m excited about establishing a brick and mortar practice here in Boston. For six years, the practice has been 90% telehealth. While we will still be offering telehealth and I love the flexibility that offers, I’ve been yearning for local space where we get to see clients in person for a long time. It will take a good bit of the summer to get our new RD trained and comfortable, contracted with insurance, settled into a new space, etc, but I’m really looking forward to it!
I’ll expand a bit more on these changes as they unfold in upcoming posts, but cutting back on weekly blog posts will allow me to still deliver quality content on a regular basis. Thank you guys so much for reading!
As you begin to wrap up your week, I wanted to share a few positive affirmations/inspiring quotes I came across this week that really resonated with me. If they resonate with you too, save them and add them to a Pinterest board, make them your phone or desktop background, write them on a sticky note for your bathroom mirror…whatever works for you.
See you back here tomorrow!
Congrats on the new job! As you’re moving to a new, less frequent, posting schedule, I hope you’ll consider having the posts be mostly your writing. As a longtime reader, I come to this space to read your words and insight and find myself skipping the posts written by your contributors. I’m sure they’re great (!) but I always prefer reading blog posts from the person whose blog it is. Anyway, something I hope you’ll consider. Ps- Your posts about birth control and AH have been incredibly helpful to me so thank you!
Hi Courtney – thank you for sharing your thoughts and congrats on the job! I have contributors because I’m not able to write three to four quality posts a week (I wish!) and want to allow other people to share this message on this platform too so we are providing as much quality content as possible so that probably won’t change – but if you enjoy my writing, the style and voice of the guest posts are similar so I think you might enjoy them (or hope you do!) and if you do enjoy my writing most, you can continue to read and enjoy that a couple times a week too!! I’m glad you’ve found the reproductive health content helpful and thanks for reading!
Congrats about the job! Is it weird that I’ve thought about your job transition/moving & was wondering how the waiting experience has been for you? I’m glad you found something that feels right. And yay for a local space! That’s amazing. I’m hopeful for you. Love the blog & how you’ve allowed other people to write in this space.
Love this post Robyn! Congrats on the new NP job, so exciting about the local Boston space for Real Life Women’s Health, and thank you for sharing these positive quotes. I really resonated with them and I hadn’t read them before. Love affirmations!
So glad they resonated! They did for me too <3
Aw India thank you for the kind words and for reading!!
Excited for you! <3 As always I love these posts that are so simple yet helpful!
so glad you enjoyed Katie!
YES! Fear is such a big liar. And I love that you are finding what works best for you Robyn. I used to read a lot of blogs, but now yours is one of the 5-6 blogs I read regularly, and I treasure every post you share.
I’m so glad you’re continuing to find the blog and writing helpful!! I really appreciate your loyalty 🙂
Congratulations on the new NP job! Is it a private or public inpatient treatment center? Also thank you for the ongoing support through your beautiful posts. It’s nice to have a role model who shows what “a real woman eats”! I’m inspired by both your honest personal writing, as well as your helpful professional advice. If you could only know how much I reap from your posts!
thank you! it’s public – I’m so glad you’ve found this space helpful and encouraging, that means so much!!
