Podcasts about locums

A powerful and deeply inspiring conversation with Dr. Dawn Baker—an anesthesiologist, author, yoga teacher, coach, homesteader, and fellow mindful healer. Dawn shares her journey of pivoting from a conventional medical path to a multi-passionate, deeply aligned life grounded in freedom, purpose, and self-awareness. Her story is extraordinary and relatable, offering a roadmap for anyone longing to redefine success and live more authentically. Dawn's life took a profound turn after a serious health diagnosis during residency. What followed was a journey of healing, questioning long-held beliefs, and learning to trust herself again.  Through microsteps, mindfulness, and courage, she built a life where she practices medicine on her terms, homeschools her daughter, lives off-grid in the Utah mountains, and empowers other women physicians to live more fully through coaching, writing, and her podcast, Lean Out. Pearls of Wisdom: Clarity and alignment often come from stillness—and sometimes from unexpected crises. Creating space to know yourself again is essential to any life pivot. Redefining success based on your own values, not societal or professional expectations, is a courageous and liberating act. You can do hard things—and more importantly, you can do different things. Embracing change is a mindful act of self-trust. Locums, lifestyle design, and nonclinical work are legitimate, fulfilling, and creative ways to practice medicine and live well. Confidence and courage are not personality traits—they are skills you can grow, especially when you pause, reflect, and reframe the narrative of your life. Reflection Questions: What might you discover if you paused long enough to truly listen to yourself? What values are guiding your current version of success—and are they truly yours? How might your life shift if you approached it as the hero of your own unfolding story? Don't wait for a crisis to step into your own less ordinary life, consider working with me through mindful coaching or joining me on retreat.  These are the sacred spaces where clarity, courage, and transformation truly begin: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching and www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats. If you'd like to bring this conversation to your team or community, I would love to support you with a workshop, retreat, or talk on mindful living and leadership: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking To learn more about Dr. Dawn Baker's work, you can find her at www.practicebalance.com or follow her on Instagram @practicebalance.

Imagine getting booked for your dream locums gig. Everything looks great, you've done all the paperwork, your plane tickets and hotel is booked and you are getting ready to leave for an assignment and you get a call from your recruiter telling you that they couldn't get you through credentialing! It happens, especially when working with inexperienced recruiters that look the other way and ignore red flags or don't properly qualify their candidates. While some things are out of your control, one thing that is in your control is making sure you have a solid list of references that you can count on. In this episode I'll be breaking down how you can set yourself up for success by asking your recruiter exactly what you need to pass credentialing and not leave it to chance. I'll also share with you some nightmare scenarios that can happen when you don't get intentional about cultivating your list of locum tenens advocates (aka references). I will also tell you exactly what I would do if I was a physician looking for locum tenens work.

Locum tenens is not right for everyone, but it might be a very good fit for people who: More control over their schedule and skill set. Want to work part time or phase into retirement.
