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.

Supportive Care Matters: A Podcast by Dr. Bogda Koczwara

Welcome to the first episode of Supportive Care Matters, a podcast Hosted by Medical Oncologist, Dr. Bogda Koczwara from Adelaide, Australia.

In today's episode, Bogda speaks to Phyllis Berck, marathon runner, feminist and breast cancer survivor, about her work as a Patient Partner with the University Health Network, Toronto, Canada.

Born from her own traumatic experiences as a patient and driven by a desire to help others, Phyllis is committed to helping healthcare professionals see the 'whole of the person' and not just their cancer. Supportive Care Matters to Phyllis because she believes it prevents unnecessary trauma and promotes full healing after cancer treatments have finished.

This conversation is sponsored by Canteen and produced by The Oncology Network.
