Hi, I'm Dr. Sonny Miles, and I believe your life IS the medicine.
I know what it means to live in a body that doesn’t follow the rules.
For years, as an integrative and palliative care physician, healer, and yoga teacher I've helped people with chronic and mysterious illnesses navigate their unique healing journeys. I've walked alongside them, listened to their stories, and witnessed their incredible resilience.
And through this work, I've discovered that true wellbeing comes from living a life that aligns with your deepest values and needs.
Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about building a life that supports you, exactly as you are.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this poignant and timely episode of "Your Life Is The Medicine," Dr. Sonny explores the vital concept of soul medicine for navigating periods of collective trauma and political uncertainty. As a physician and deeply feeling healer, she addresses the profound distress many are experiencing in the current climate, particularly regarding the mistreatment of marginalized communities. Dr. Sonny validates that being dysregulated in the face of suffering is not a flaw, but a testament to our humanity. She introduces the somatic concept of pendulation—the resilience-building practice of moving between distress and center—to help listeners avoid getting stuck in a state of powerlessness.
Listeners will discover a practical "medicine kit" for emotional well-being and nervous system regulation during a marathon of challenging events. Dr. Sonny shares how to move from feeling paralyzed by global news to finding agency through community action and personal ritual. She offers essential strategies for holistic healing, including the necessity of moving big emotions like rage and grief through the body to prevent them from causing long-term harm. From the healing power of nature and women's circles to the radical act of turning off the news, this episode provides a roadmap for staying "fully lit" so that we may support ourselves and others.
If you are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or looking for ways to show up authentically in a stormy world, this conversation is for you. Dr. Sonny invites you to double down on the skills of resilience and self-care that allow you to stand up and show your soul.
