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.
