This week Sara sits down with Chinese medicine doctor and friend, Dr. Chris Motley! Sara and Dr. Motley discuss how eastern and western medicine should work together more and how Dr. Motley isn't against modern medicine. He also shares many different, simple ways you can live a cleaner life and clear up some longer lasting problems that may not be solved by modern medicine. This episode will absolutely leave you wanting to make an appointment with Dr. Motley!   About Dr. Motley:   In high school I had three options and interests in mind: art, pilot, or healthcare. I chose healthcare. A decision that had to be influenced by God and my genetics. I graduated with a B.S. in Biology from Austin Peay State University in 1997. After undergrad, I attended Logan University in Chesterfield, Missouri and completed my Doctorate in Chiropractic with a specialization in Clinical Kinesiology in 2004. I chose to specialize in Clinical Kinesiology, because in my opinion, it covers a wide range of testing techniques. I started a practice in a small house in Franklin, TN. Over the last 16, I have seen the practice grow to full capacity. I am thankful to God that this path has fulfilled and taught me so many of life's hidden lessons. Those lessons can be tough. Not only do you see these lessons in your patients, but also through personal experience. During my sixth year, full onset of Lyme Infection (which I believe I contracted as a teen) began in 2011. It lasted more than three years, and I almost had to stop practice completely. I experienced a wide range of the symptoms of Lyme, which made me question if I could keep practicing and even help anyone again. However, with the treatments from my colleagues and mentors, I came out of all symptoms and infections. I am forever grateful to them. I thank God that I now understand what people with chronic infections go through. Interesting enough, after my battle with Lyme, more and more people came into the office wanting help with chronic infections. Energy moves through us and creates attraction for others who need that same help. I am thankful that I have been able to assist and help those with chronic problems for all my years in practice.   Another scare happened in December 2017. I had a ruptured ulcer that sent me to ICU and surgery. My surgeon, Dr. Rosen said stress was a big factor, and that I would have died if a few more hours had passed. I created a scenario of constantly saying "yes" and never saying "no". Always pushing myself had quite an impact on my health. I have recovered fully. However, this event created a positive shift in my mentality. This shift helps me in the treatment of patients. I am now more aware of the signs of disease and sickness that are based in the "fight, flight, or freeze" mechanism we put on ourselves in this day and age. Being still, staying present, and slowing down is a major source of comfort and focus in my life and health clinic.The lessons I learn from my own life and patients continuously teach me that self awareness is the first step to healing. Teaching patients to learn how to feel what they feel and not run from it is the initial phase of the journey. This gives power and strength back into a persons life, and opens the door for resolutions. I want to help teach individuals to learn more about themselves. When they do this, it brings validation and connection within their bodies, and this leads to healing.   Listen to Unbroke: (https://ffm.to/seunbroke)   LET'S BE SOCIAL:   Follow Dr. Motley: Instagram: (@doctormotley) Twitter: (@DoctorMotley) Website: (https://doctormotley.com/)   Follow Diving in Deep Podcast: Instagram -(@divingindeeppod) TikTok - (@divingindeeppod) Twitter - (@divingindeeppod) Facebook - (@divingindeeppod)   Follow Sara Evans: Instagram - (@saraevansmusic) TikTok - (@saraevansmusic) Twitter - (@saraevansmusic) Facebook - (@saraevansmusic)   Produced...

Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/  Savannah, a dedicated Girl Scout who shared her journey of earning the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award. Savannah's project focused on improving the trails at her local animal shelter. She identified the need for better-marked trails to help volunteers and visitors navigate the area more easily. Her project involved cleaning up existing trails, adding new ones, naming them, and creating a detailed map with mileage information. She also developed a pamphlet for new volunteers to help them understand the shelter's rules and how they can contribute. One of the unique aspects of Savannah's project was the creation of color-coded signs for the trails. Despite some challenges with the durability of the materials, she learned valuable lessons about project management and material selection. Savannah's dedication to her project, even while juggling a busy high school schedule, is truly commendable. Savannah also shared her experiences with time management, the importance of teamwork, and the support she received from her family, friends, and fellow scouts. She emphasized the significance of the global link in the Gold Award process, connecting her project to broader issues like volunteerism and health. In addition to her Gold Award project, Savannah continues to support her Girl Scout troop, helping younger members with their own awards and serving as a role model. She is currently a sophomore at Austin Peay State University, studying engineering technology with a concentration in mechatronics, and is actively involved in various roles on campus. Savannah's story is a testament to the impact of the Girl Scout Gold Award and the importance of perseverance, planning, and community support.    More About Savannah: Savannah has been a Girl Scout since she was in the second grade. Her mom became her troop leader when she was a first-year junior. Savannah earned her Silver Award in 2019. She is the first Girl Scout from her service unit to earn her Gold Award in 11 years and is the fourth Girl Scout to age out from her service unit within the same amount of time. As a senior in high school, she was part of many clubs but still found time to complete her Gold Award and lead the Girl Scout Seniors in earning badges. During the fall of 2023, she was a leader to the Brownies. Now, Savannah is mentoring the different age groups through their courses of earning the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards. When she had her last badge ceremony as a Girl Scout, her troop surprised her with a lifetime membership. This summer, Savannah is working as a nature counselor at Camp Sycamore Hills. She is attending Austin Peay State University and pursuing her bachelor's degree in engineering technology with a concentration in Mechatronics. At the university, she is also a writing tutor and a lab assistant for the engineering technology department.   Key Takeaways from this episode: Importance of Time Management: Savannah highlighted the challenge of time management during her Gold Award project, especially while juggling multiple responsibilities in high school. She emphasized the need to write everything down to keep track of hours and tasks effectively. Teamwork and Collaboration: Savannah's project involved a team effort, including volunteers, family, friends, and even Boy Scouts. The collaboration and support from her team members were crucial in successfully completing the project. Continuous Improvement and Adaptation: Despite facing challenges with the signage for the trails, Savannah remained resilient and open to feedback. She iterated on the design based on input from the animal shelter, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement and adaptation in her project. Share this show with your friends on Twitter.
