In this episode on The Thrive Home, we sit down with Dr. Estee Grant to explore her unexpected journey from Pediatric Critical Care pivoting to Palliative Care, and how that transition led her to champion the conversation around vicarious trauma.
Hosted by Resident Dr. Siobhan Wong and Hospitalist Dr. Leanne Morris, they learn about Dr. Grant’s path from her early love of teaching and communication, through the shifts that comes with becoming a parent, to the moment she realized that the work she once resisted— Palliative Care was actually where she could grow the skills she valued most: connection, emotional presence, and supporting families through their hardest moments.
Dr. Grant also breaks down what vicarious trauma really is: the gradual, often unseen impact of repeatedly witnessing others’ suffering, and how it reshapes our sense of safety, trust, and connection over time.
She explains how her workshops emerged from real residents' experiences and why naming these emotional realities are essential for clinician wellbeing.
