RLM: (E28) It took me fifty years of living to learn that everything isn’t my responsibility.
Last November 2023 🦂 I decided to live my life as if it was new 🌏everyday. everyday would be the first time that I would experience it as a fifty year old woman. I wanted to travel and see new things every month. I wanted to try to work less and have more fun. This would require me to make adjustments to my schedule and to my expectations. I did it❣️I also continue to learn 📝new lessons and I have new revelations💡 all of time. I’ve learned that life continues to be a challenging journey even when you have been at it for awhile. So much of our experience is about perspective and how we choose to engage with the challenges. Everything seems less significant 🌟 . I continue to let go, realizing that things are not as important as I thought they were and that everything is not my responsibility. I am lightening my load🏋🏾♀️. It takes work and effort for me to get it done and I still struggle but “I am making progress. Listen 👂🏼 🎧 in here.

RLM (E27): Putting down old emotional wounds and moving forward into the future.
A lot of it requires healing, but some of letting go is simply a mind adjustment and just putting down the past and leaving it by the door just like a bag of luggage. Just because something challenging and traumatic happened to you, does not mean that it has to hurt you forever. Often individuals will see life through the tinted lens of that difficult time. In this episode Dr. Mignon will discuss will discuss how we can choose to take off the glasses and put down the old baggage to move forward into a more freeing environment where the air is clean and crisp, the sun is warm and you feel free.

Change
Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
What does Dr. Mignon think about change? Change is a part of our lives. Drastic change is happening now with the pandemic. Change in our work lives and in our personal lives. Transformation requires us to change which is often frightening and difficult. Resistance to change causes friction and only makes change more difficult. It does not have be so difficult if we can let go of the resistance and lean in to the process of change.

Unapologetically Happy
Today's topic was inspired by me wanting to focus on being Unapologetically Happy in my own life. Recognizing that often we get caught up in the challenges of life or in our old behaviors or learned behaviors of not allowing for or appreciating life to the fullest at all times. Recognizing that life is not full of daises however more often than not there are more rainbows than we allow ourselves to see.

The Forty-Year-Old Version (a film review)
Dr. Mignon shares why she was so taken with writer and director Radha Blank’s The Forty-Year-Old Version. This Sundance winner is cleaver and refreshing . “I loved the story being told from the perspective of a nearly forty year old woman who still has dreams and isn’t afraid to chase them.” Well even if she is afraid to chase them she doesn’t let that stop her and in doing so she finds her strength and her truth which leads to her being authentically her. You see whether Radha knew it at the time or not this was a lesson that her mother taught her through her own life. She learned not to stay in the box that others drew for her and in doing so she became the person that she wanted to be. What a lesson and told with great humor. Thank you RadhaMusPrime. Namaste

RLM: Dr. Mignon’s surgery.. she calls it Extreme Self Care!
It’s post-op Day #4 and I am getting ready for my first Physical therapy session. I’ve been behaving (I really don’t have much of a choice). My pain is really well controlled but this may change soon??? I am trying to embrace my status change of being the patient amongst other roles.

DrMignon Online 008 Today my Healing work involved a surgery
Today I addressed a physical problem that I have been having for five years. It has affected my life and how I feel for that period of time. I have a knee issue, injury that caused me to have pain, to wear knee braces, get MRI's and injections, an orthoscopic surgery and a stem cell injection which requires a bone marrow biopsy to obtain your stem cells. All of these procedures work for many but it did not fix my problem.
I decided that I needed to stop prioritizing everyone else, my practice, my patients and take care of myself. Take care of myself for my future, my happiness and my health and well being of course.
This podcast is about my surgical procedure day... check it out.

This is a timely review of the Netflix release Two Distant Strangers, a brief but moving short film.
Hear Dr. Mignon’s review, thoughts and feelings regarding this 32 minute short film which brings to the forefront the issues is racial bias, killings of black men and women which has continued to be an issue and seems to be getting worse. As we watch the trial of Officer Derek Chavin in the George Floyd murder trial we all must process what this means for us as a nation, as individuals and as Americans. This film is clever in that it brings these issues to the forefront in 30 minutes. Ending with a significant list of recent police encounters resulting in death. The time for love and open hearts is past due. The time for acceptance and fairness is past due. Hopefully it can help others see some of the challenges of simply being black. Being black is not a crime.

DrMignonOnline 002: Addiction & Setting Healthy Limits
Setting limits and boundaries can be some of the most difficult things to do, especially when it is with out child, our spouse or someone you truly care about. Boundaries are key to our individual life recovery. It forces us to learn how to really love ourselves and others.
Setting limits will give us strength, respect and confidence in ourselves. Others will know that we mean what we say and magically you will find that the individual will change or won't change. That is up to them and there is nothing we can do but respect their choice. Being empowered to make our own choices and strong enough to carry it out shows that we are evolving and opens us up to receiving the next gift, Relief and Serenity and Happiness.
