💡Side Hustle Spotlight: Irish Dietitian - Fiona Finneran

Day Job - “I am employed by the HSE in Ireland as a nutrition support dietitian for a Frailty team…”

Side Hustle - website: The Ordinary Dietitian

Q1: Why made you start your website/side-hustle and why do you like doing it?

Answer: “…I started up The Ordinary Dietitian just before I had baby number 4 last year to keep up my nutritional knowledge, and in the hope I might be able to build up a private practice and break free from my main job!!…What I like best is when I meet people on the street and they say ‘hi, I love your page and I’ve actually changed this and that because of you’ that’s what motivates me to keep it going (have thought about shutting it down a few times when I got negative comments).”
