February is the Month of Love — and We’re Embracing It
Greetings, healthcare colleagues!
As healthcare professionals, we’re often invited into the most tender moments of people’s lives. In these moments, you may notice your heart swell with compassion, sorrow, or deep gratitude. While this emotional labor is rarely acknowledged, I want you to know: I see it. I hear it.
We recognize the love and care you give each day. Whether it’s an after-hours check-in, helping with food access, volunteering at a community event, or offering a much-needed hug.
This February, let’s take a moment to honor you and the quiet heroism of showing up again and again with an open heart. In celebration, we are kicking off our “Spreading the Love Sale” starting today!
In this newsletter issue, I share how not being selected for a diabetes educator award led me to a deeper realization and lit a fire to share my message by writing a book.
We also highlight the power of professional connections and the importance of membership in shaping a healthcare future that reflects our values and vision. A special thanks to Sarah Hormachea, RD, MS, CDCES, BC-ADM for her meaningful insights and guest article contribution.
In celebration of fiber, don’t miss nutrition expert Christine Craig’s article featuring the unsung benefits of fiber plus a high five list.
A tech-focused feature from Dr. Beattie explores how technology and diabetes distress can be linked, along with tools to address it.
You are the heartbeat of health care! Here’s to leading with love this month and every month.
With hearts full of gratitude,
Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Astraea & Katarina

The Case for Professional Practice Groups in the Digital Age
If you’ve considered not renewing your professional practice group membership this year, you’re not alone. Membership in professional organizations has declined as many turn to social media and AI-driven platforms for information and connection. Still, I encourage you not to abandon professional membership in favor of options that may seem cheaper or more convenient.
In a noisy, chaotic landscape of information overload, professional practice groups remain a refuge from the storm. They offer a trusted alternative to clickbait, providing vetted expertise, meaningful connection, and true professional community.
No amount of viral TikTok videos or LinkedIn commentary can replace the depth of connection and sense of purpose that come from active engagement in a professional practice organization. And, here’s why.
What is a Professional Practice Group?
Professional practice groups, also known as professional practice organizations, are designed to advance a specific field by providing members with networking opportunities, professional development, and practice resources. In healthcare, these organizations may be tailored to the needs of a single discipline, such as the American Nurses Association, or span interdisciplinary areas of practice, like the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists or the American Diabetes Association.
Some organizations focus primarily on education and credentialing, while others emphasize leadership development and community building. Still others center their work on advocacy related to patient care, access, and insurance coverage.
Who Actually Runs a Professional Practice Group?
At its core, most professional practice groups are founded and driven by their members, with membership dues supporting the administrative needs required to operate. As groups grow, they often engage professional management or organizational leadership teams to oversee day-to-day operations such as membership services, programming, finances, legal compliance, and other administrative functions.
Strategic direction and oversight typically remain the responsibility of an elected or appointed governing body. In some cases, professional organizations may choose to hire members, transitioning them from volunteer roles into paid staff positions.
As operating costs rise, often without corresponding increases in salaries or reimbursement, many professional practice groups partner with industry or government organizations for additional financial support. These partnerships can help keep membership dues, educational programming, and events accessible and affordable for members.
Why is Membership on the Decline?
It would be easy to blame declining professional membership on COVID, but the reality is this trend started long before the pandemic. Across healthcare, fewer clinicians are joining or renewing professional organizations. Cost is often the biggest factor. When budgets are tight, many people feel forced to choose one membership instead of several. Others question whether the return on investment is still there, especially when education, networking, and professional content are now easy to find online for free.
In my own field of dietetics, I also hear concerns about transparency and alignment with the future of the profession. The move to a master’s degree requirement without a meaningful increase in entry-level pay has created real frustration, particularly for early-career professionals and those from underrepresented backgrounds. Many feel their needs were not fully considered or advocated for during that transition.
These frustrations are valid. But they are also exactly why walking away may not be the answer. Professional practice groups are shaped by the people who show up. If something isn’t working, the most effective way to change it is to get involved.
The Case for Professional Membership
Despite the challenges, the benefits of professional membership far outweigh the drawbacks, and the opportunity to influence the future of your profession is worth staying engaged.
Mentorship That Isn’t Transactional
Social media platforms like LinkedIn, Substack, and X (formerly Twitter) are great for ideas and inspiration, but they rarely offer sustained, reciprocal mentorship. Most interactions are brief, one-sided, or tied to someone selling something.
Professional practice groups offer something different. They foster trusted relationships with people who have walked the same path and understand the realities of the work. Advice is shared openly, support develops over time, and there is no sales funnel attached. It is not a transaction. It is a co-op.
Space to Grow, Not Perform
Professional practice groups offer a space to ask questions without worrying about who is watching or how you are being perceived. There is room to be unsure, curious, or quietly ambitious, especially early in your career or during periods of transition.
Unlike social media, which often rewards confidence and visibility, professional groups tend to reward competence, growth, and thoughtful engagement. The focus is less on performance and more on learning and supporting one another as professionals.
Depth Over Virality
Most online content is designed for reach, not rigor. Professional practice groups focus on depth, offering evidence-based, peer-reviewed insights shared by professionals, for professionals. It is not about trends. It is about trust. As these professional practice groups evolve, many are also opening the door to honest conversations about topics once considered off-limits, such as workplace culture, compensation, and career options.
More Than a Membership
I’ve made meaningful connections on social media and learn something new every day from tools like ChatGPT. Those platforms have their place.
But when I want to understand where a profession is really headed, I look to professional practice groups. Who is presenting the research? What study resources are being recommended? Who is mentoring, volunteering, and helping shape the future of the field? These groups create space to contribute, learn, and grow alongside peers who care deeply about the work.
I’ve always respected my work colleagues, but I truly value my professional practice peers. I hope you will, too.

How Not Winning Motivated Me to Write A Book
Several years ago, I was nominated for Diabetes Educator of the Year. Being put forward by colleagues I deeply respected and admired was profoundly meaningful—and, honestly, a little overwhelming.
The nomination felt like recognition of decades of clinical work, teaching, mentoring, and advocacy for person-centered diabetes care. After submitting the detailed application, I allowed myself to feel hopeful. I imagined sharing my philosophy of judgment-free diabetes care with audiences across the country, offering a message of healing for both healthcare professionals and the people they serve. I even choreographed my walk-up dance in my head, ready to hit the ground running.
Then the email arrived from the board: I hadn’t been selected.
I won’t pretend it didn’t sting. I was devastated. Awards matter because they symbolize recognition; they affirm that your voice has value. When I wasn’t chosen, I found myself sitting with a familiar response that many healthcare professionals have experienced: a complicated mix of disappointment, sharp self-doubt, and the well-worn instinct to minimize the hurt and simply move on.
But once the initial ache softened, something important came into focus. I realized that while awards can amplify a message and provide a platform for it, they are not the source of the message itself. And my message was still burning—undiminished—inside me.
The Message Wouldn’t Let Me Go
For years, I had been witnessing something under the surface of diabetes care and, more broadly, of healthcare. Earnest and compassionate clinicians were giving their all to provide the best care, but felt they weren’t breaking through or reaching people in ways that led to significant change. Many were questioning their worth, their effectiveness, and even their decision to enter healthcare at all.
I heard it in hallway conferences. In mentoring meetings. In calm moments after lectures when someone would come up to me and say, “I thought it was just me.”
I knew then that the story I was burning to share couldn’t be reduced to a title or an award category. The message I was holding wasn’t just about diabetes education and achieving an A1C of less than 7%. It was about the emotional gift of caring—and the healing strength of connection.
Choosing Impact Over Recognition
Not winning that award forced a reckoning moment: How could I share my message on a bigger stage?
The answer surprised me with its clarity. Write a book.
I wrote Healing through Connection for Healthcare Professionals because this story matters, award or no award.
The lived experiences and emotional well-being of healthcare professionals matter. You can make a bigger impact in the care you provide by taking inventory of your inner dialogue and beliefs.
Working with people living with diabetes can be filled with connection, joy, and revitalization. By leaving judgment at the door and accepting each other as we are – messy, complicated, and beautiful- you can deepen your connection. The unvoiced grief, the unresolved trauma, the silent resilience, can all have a voice at the table. As a healthcare professional, you deserve healing too.
From Disappointment to Direction
Not winning hasn’t stopped me from sharing my message; it motivated me to find a different way to share it.
It pushed me to write honestly about:
- How your personal history walks into the exam room with you.
- How to create a meaningful connection with the people in our care and provide healing that flows both ways.
- How to revitalize your creativity and give yourself permission for self-care.
This book is not a rebuttal to an award committee.
It’s a love letter to healthcare professionals who keep showing up even when recognition is scarce.
The Real Win
Today, when a nurse, pharmacist, dietitian, or physician tells me, “This book made me feel less alone,” I know I chose the right path.
I didn’t win an award, but I found my voice and shared my authentic life story in my book. This book is my commitment transparency with the hopes that it gives you permission to share your truth.
I wrote Healing through Connection so that other healthcare professionals can share their story and create a healing space for themselves and the people in their care.
Because in the end, the greatest legacy is knowing that your message touched the lives of your community and created space for more compassion, for us and those in our care.
