episode 8: S02E08: Dr Tamara Beckford - When saving lives isn't enough, so you save mental health, too.
We've had a lot of amazing people on this podcast. CEO's, philanthropists, innovators, business gurus, etc. Everyone of them has been exceptional in some way or another. Then there's Dr Tamara Beckford. A woman who is exceptional in EVERY way. She job is literally saving lives all day every day (actually all night...) as an ER doctor. She's also hilarious, and kind. She's a great mom, sister, and friend. In almost any and every way you could imagine Tamara raises the bar for what a person can and should do. Just when you start to feel like you're not enough, or a bit salty about that, she comes along and in her "free time" starts an organization dedicated to helping women find balance and protect their mental health with self-care. That's right, the woman who hasn't had what any sane person would call free time in years took it next level. Incredible.
