About this listen
Locums is often misunderstood as a temporary fix or an escape hatch from burnout. In this episode, Dr. Jamila Goldsmith sits down with Ebony Thyme, Travel Nurse Practitioner and 1099 career coach, to break that myth wide open.
They talk candidly about why locums work should be approached as a business, not a short-term hustle. From negotiating contracts and setting boundaries to understanding seasonal demand, financial leverage, and long-term freedom, this conversation reframes locums as a strategic career move for clinicians who want control over their time, income, and energy.
If you have ever felt boxed in by a W2 role, burned out by hospital systems, or unsure how to advocate for your worth, this episode will challenge how you think about stability, success, and what is actually possible in medicine.
