I sat down with my inspiring client and friend, Lindsey Lusson, a registered dietitian who transformed her part-time passion into a thriving, high-ticket group coaching business.

Lindsey shares how she left behind a “safe” corporate job while pregnant with her third child and scaled her practice into a 6-figure business that now brings in consistent $40K+ months.

We dive deep into how she overcame imposter syndrome, grew her confidence as a business owner, and built a scalable group coaching model that delivers life-changing results for women struggling with period loss and fertility.

Lindsey doesn’t hold back in this conversation, so if you’ve ever wondered whether you could turn your expertise into a profitable, freedom-filled business, this episode is for you.

“I was making more in my private practice than I was in my corporate job, but I still couldn’t let go. It took getting pregnant to finally say, 'I can’t do both anymore.'”

“We’re not just giving information. We’re helping women completely shift their mindset, lifestyle, and health... and that’s worth every penny of a high-ticket program.”

“I remember thinking, do I need to go work part-time at a hospital? And then I hit my first $20K month. That was the moment I knew, this is going to work.”

[00:02:32] – Kicking things off with Lindsey’s backstory and how her business started as a side hustle in 2020.

[00:05:01] – The leap from corporate wellness to full-time business owner while pregnant with her third child.

[00:10:52] – The slow summer myth: reframing mindset, committing to childcare, and clearing a $20K month.

[00:13:15] – Behind the scenes of balancing business and babies, including how her husband supported the childcare decision.

[00:20:22] – What Lindsey’s workweek looks like now with three young kids, a thriving business, and Fridays mostly off.

[00:29:33] – The mindset and strategy behind confidently charging $2,700+ for a group health program.

[00:35:12] – The real value of a high-touch group program and how it outperforms one-on-one coaching for her niche.

[00:39:24] – Why 2025 is a golden opportunity for private practice dietitians to sell premium health offers.

[00:44:23] – What makes Lindsey successful: work ethic, willingness to take risks, and refusing to stay stuck.

Lindsey Lusson is a Registered Dietitian who specializes in disordered eating and infertility. She has both personal and professional experience with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA), or period loss related to overexercise and undereating. Her experience led her to become passionate about educating and empowering others to advocate for their health and take charge of their fertility through proper nutrition. She has helped over 250 women recover cycles and restore their fertility naturally.

Ever feel like growing a successful online business while raising young kids is an impossible dream?

In this episode, I’m lifting the curtain on how I make it happen week after week, even during the wildest ones filled with sick kids, emergency vet visits, and dentist appointments from hell.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like behind the scenes of a thriving coaching business run by a mom with littles at home, this is for you.

I’ll walk you through my real-life work schedule, what I’ve had to ruthlessly eliminate to stay focused, and the specific business model that allows me to work under 20 hours a week while still generating consistent revenue.

If you’re a mompreneur (or just someone looking to design a business that fits your life, not the other way around), you’ll walk away with clarity, encouragement, and a renewed sense of what’s truly possible.

• [2:28] - Reflecting on a chaotic week that still led to $20K in sales—and what made it possible.

• [5:21] - How I co-structured our day-to-day work schedule with my husband to optimize productivity.

• [10:54] - The afternoon time blocks I guard fiercely for focused work and CEO-level tasks.

• [14:52] - The mindset shift and prioritization that helped me say no to hustle and yes to alignment.

• [25:52] - The hard choice to shut down a multi 6-figure offer—and what I focused on instead.

• [28:44] - Why I fully embraced a high-ticket, streamlined business model built around one offer.

• [34:38] - How this model supports not just my lifestyle—but also empowers my clients to do the same.

1. “It is not easy, and it's definitely not impossible to have babies and grow a business.”

2. “There's literally no chance I have the energy to do that and also do the stuff that actually makes the business money.”

3. “I have way more ideas than what I have the energy and time and capacity to actually execute on.”

4. “I have to go so focused in on the one or two things that are gonna move the needle in the business.”

5. “You can make good money even when you're only working 10, 15, or 20 hours a week.”

I’m incredibly excited to introduce the first guest of our newly rebranded Nourished CEO Podcast, my friend and powerhouse entrepreneur, Kelly Ruta.

This episode is a raw, honest, and inspiring look at what happens when life and health force even the most driven business owners to hit pause.

Kelly shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with long Covid, navigating relentless health challenges, and ultimately making the brave decision to take a sabbatical from her business—a decision she describes as both “kicking and screaming” and profoundly necessary.

We unpack the internal struggle between ambition and wellbeing, how to set radical boundaries, and why “slowing down is not giving up.” Whether you’ve ever wondered "how do I step back without losing everything?" or you’re seeking a grounded conversation about redefining success as a female CEO, this is a must-listen.

[02:00] – Kelly’s journey through long Covid and her decision to take a sabbatical
[06:00] – How chronic illness forced Kelly to stop ignoring red flags and face her limits
[09:00] – The messy logistics of taking a sabbatical: finances, team, and boundaries
[14:00] – Defining your sabbatical: creating space for reflection and healing
[20:00] – The hidden dangers of hyper-independence and burnout
[27:00] – Breaking the patriarchal mold of business leadership for women
[35:00] – Why women must rethink their definitions of success
[42:00] – Kelly’s vision for discovering “the third way” after her sabbatical
[46:00] – How to stay connected with Kelly and follow her journey

“I’m a very high energy person. I love to work. So taking this break was the hardest decision I’ve made.”

“This was not a fun choice. This was not an easy choice.”

“For some, a sabbatical is traveling Europe. For me, it’s rest, reflection, and healing.”

“I’ve trained people to treat me as strong all the time. That’s not healthy.”

“The systems we’ve been taught were built for men with wives at home. They weren’t built for us.”

“The only helpful comparison is who I am today vs. who I was a year ago.”

“Slowing down felt like giving up... but really, it’s an admission of vulnerability, and they are not the same.”

“I’m not going back to who I was being or what I was doing. There has to be a third way.”

I am so grateful to Kelly for choosing The Nourished CEO Podcast as her final interview before fully stepping into her well-deserved sabbatical.

This conversation is for every ambitious woman who has ever wrestled with the tension between chasing big goals and protecting her health, energy, and joy.

As Kelly so beautifully said:

“Slowing down felt like giving up... but really, it’s an admission of vulnerability, and they are not the same.”
