Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about building a life that supports you, exactly as you are.

Your Life is the Medicine with Dr. Sonny Miles
The Grief Gateway: Emotional Well-Being and Holistic Healing
In "Your Life Is The Medicine," Dr. Sonny, a physician of integrative and palliative care, tackles the profound and often avoided topic of grief. Moving beyond the common societal focus on death-related loss, Dr. Sonny explores the many subtle ways grief manifests in daily life—from aging and chronic illness diagnoses to changing relationships and shifting identities. She powerfully asserts that grief lives in our bodies, and unexpressed emotions are intrinsically linked to physical unwellness, chronic inflammation, and disease, underscoring the vital need for emotional well-being and mind-body connection.
Drawing upon her palliative care experience and personal journey, Dr. Sonny guides listeners to develop an apprenticeship with sorrow, shifting the goal from "getting rid of grief" to building a compassionate, ongoing relationship with it. Listeners will learn that grief is often "sneaky," appearing when least expected, and that it always carries a message about what we loved or where we abandoned ourselves. Crucially, Dr. Sonny provides tangible, time-honored practices for moving grief's heavy energy, including rhythmic shaking, journaling with specific reflection questions, and ritual practices like creating altars and releasing flowers into water.
Dr. Sonny reminds us that while grief is hard, we have the capacity to move through it, often finding profound personal growth and greater access to vitality and joy on the other side. This episode is an essential guide for anyone seeking holistic healing and stress relief by making space for their emotional truth. Tune in and subscribe to "Your Life Is The Medicine" to learn how honoring your losses can lead you back to the wild joy that is your birthright.
