Your Life is the Medicine with Dr. Sonny Miles
Unopened Gifts: How Your Mortality Can Transform Your Life
In "Your Life Is The Medicine," Dr. Sonny Miles delves into one of life's most profound, yet often avoided, teachers: death and dying. While commonly associated with grief and loss, Dr. Miles, a board-certified physician in palliative care, reveals how confronting our own mortality can be a powerful force for living a more meaningful, rich, and aligned life. Drawing from Rilke's poignant quote that "Love and death are the great gifts...mostly, they're passed on unopened," she invites listeners to courageously unwrap this uncomfortable but transformative truth.
Through deeply personal anecdotes, from the unexpected loss of high school classmates to her decade-plus experience as a palliative care physician, Dr. Miles illuminates how sitting with death has shaped her own existence. Listeners will gain an understanding of how to use the awareness of limited time as a catalyst to ask what truly matters, daring to live those important questions now rather than postponing dreams and difficult conversations. She shares powerful insights from working with countless individuals facing serious illness, witnessing their courage, and learning how to prioritize quality of life and authentic desires even in the face of uncertainty.
This episode offers a unique contemplative practice designed to help you connect with your deepest values by contemplating different timelines of your own mortality. You'll learn how to create a safe, intentional space to ask yourself what you would need to change today to feel your life was well-lived, whether you had years or just days left. Dr. Miles gently navigates the potential anxieties that can arise with such profound reflection, emphasizing the importance of seeking support if needed. "Your Life Is The Medicine" encourages a regular, healthy relationship with mortality, seeing it reflected in seasons and even breath, ultimately guiding you to live a life that truly fulfills your spirit.
