In this episode you will learn:
1 Why healing doesn't start with the body—it starts with spirit—Sonia discovered through working with immigrant patients and indigenous medicine that illness begins in your spirit, emotions, and how you see the world, which is why Western medicine alone can never fully heal you without addressing what's happening in the unseen realms first.
2 How to bridge Western medicine with indigenous healing without choosing sides—Sonia negotiated with a diabetic patient whose blood sugar was 800 to stay in the clinic for IV treatment while honoring his desire to go into the desert with his medicine man, proving that healing happens when you integrate both worlds rather than forcing people to abandon their beliefs.
3 What it means to become the "crazy cat lady" of holistic medicine in a traditional system—By publishing papers, training healthcare companies, and openly practicing mindfulness and indigenous medicine before it was mainstream, Sonia created space for patients to heal their way while meeting all medical guidelines, teaching us that you can be different AND effective.
“The medical world, the traditional system really showed me, I think, how people try to heal themselves. " - 00:05:15
“That picture that we paint, the illusion that we build, that's really the illusion is that competence equals alignment." - 00:26:08
"I think remembering who you are is the process of letting go what you're not.” - 00:56:38
