The Lift
The Lift is a podcast where we bring you conversations with healthcare workers, explore their experience navigating critical issues in the healthcare system and consider what fosters their sense of well-being at work, helps them to flourish, and learn what drives them forward.
Tune in weekly with our host Dr. Mary Elliott, a Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Teacher at Princess Margaret Cancer Center.

Ep. 6: Shame Resilience
Dr. Mary Elliott sits down with Dr. Dawn Lim, Emergency Physician at University Health Network & Assistant Professor in The Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto.
Dawn's love of learning and exploration led her to the peaks of a European space agency parabola, the rough roads of rural Cambodia, and the shiny halls of the Richard Ivey School of business where she obtained an MBA. Eventually she paused her work to take an 800km spiritual journey to find her way home through photography, writing and motherhood.
Dawn is the Photographer-in-Residence, Health, Arts and Humanities Program, The Temerty Faculty of Medicine, U of T. Notably, she received support from a National Geographic COVID Grant and her photography can be found in various national media outlets and galleries. She is a trained a facilitator in Brené Brown’s The Daring Way™ and is particularly interested in changing the shame-based culture of medicine.
In this episode, she sits down with Dr. Mary Elliott to unpack the concept of shame resilience, reflect on how this has promoted her well-being, and share how she's been able to effect a shift in culture through training to others.
