From Burnout to Breakthrough: Reclaiming Your Worth as a Physician with Dr Temi AKA MoneyMindsetMD

September 24, 2025 • Dr. Mimi

In this episode of The Locums Lounge, Dr. Mimi sits down with Dr. Temi (@moneymindsetmd), founder of Money Mindset MD, to talk about the heavy weight of student loans, the reality of burnout, and the wake-up call that forced her to choose herself first. From $500,000 in debt to walking away from a steady job, Dr. Temi shares how she built a new career on her own terms.

You’ll hear:
- How massive student loans and RVU cuts pushed her to the breaking point
- Why ignoring burnout can cost more than money—it can cost your health
- The turning point that made her say “enough” and walk away
- The mindset shift every locums doctor needs to thrive without fear
- How to claim your value and negotiate from a place of strength

If you’ve ever felt trapped by debt, burned out by the system, or scared to step off the traditional path, this conversation will remind you that you are in demand, you bring value, and you have the power to design medicine around your life.
