In this replay episode, I’m joined by Dr. Naomi Lawrence Reed, board-certified pediatrician, founder of Doctoring Differently, and a physician who has completely reimagined what a medical career can look like.

After starting her career in traditional pediatrics, Naomi quickly realized that the grind of full-time clinical medicine, nights, weekends, holidays, limited control, and relatively low pediatric compensation was not the life she wanted to build for the next 30 or 40 years.

Then came what she calls her “villain origin story” — a broken chair in the physician charting room that administration fixed by wrapping diapers around the exposed metal.

Since then, Naomi has built a career around per diem work, locums, VA disability exams, expert witness work, aesthetics, and medical director roles — ultimately creating more flexibility, more income, and more freedom than she was ever told was possible.

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
✔️ Why Dr. Naomi Lawrence Reed left traditional full-time pediatrics
✔️ Why per diem work can be a powerful first step for physicians who want more flexibility
✔️ How locums can create high income without requiring a traditional full-time job
✔️ Why physicians often underestimate the value of their training, license, and expertise
✔️ How Doctoring Differently helps physicians explore non-traditional clinical and non-clinical opportunities
✔️ Why you do not need permission to build a career that fits your life

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
✅ There are more ways to practice medicine than the traditional full-time employed model
✅ Per diem and locums can create a bridge between clinical work and entrepreneurship
✅ Physicians can build meaningful income streams outside of traditional patient care
✅ Non-clinical work does not mean your medical training is wasted
✅ You can create more flexibility without abandoning your identity as a physician
✅ Your biggest fear may simply be your current reality — and you can always pivot back if needed
✅ There are no fixed rules for what a “real doctor job” has to look like
