She spent over a decade as a dedicated ER physician, including six years working full-time night shifts. However, by 2019, she felt a growing restlessness—a desire to expand her impact beyond the hospital walls. Inspired by luminaries like Zig Ziglar, she began exploring personal development and entrepreneurship. In 2020, despite the pandemic’s toll, she thrived emotionally while her peers faced burnout. That’s when she knew she needed to share the practices that had brought her balance.
This is the journey of Tamara Beckford, an ER physican, speaker, podcaster, leader, and coach. Tamara helps high-achieving women break free from burnout through her workshops at institutions and her own company, UR Caring Docs.
Tamara emphasizes that balance—or as she prefers, “harmony”—is a dynamic process that requires intentionality and courage. While she continues to practice medicine, her ability to blend clinical and entrepreneurial roles has brought her clarity and fulfillment. During our conversation, she shares useful tools to start your days off mindfully and deal with bumps in the road of life.
