Today's episode delves into the concept of "Acclivity" and the significance behind my choice of this term. Career growth is like climbing a hill, and the "Acclivity" mindset involves a continuous pursuit of upward movement and personal development. The metaphor of an incline is compelling in representing a career, as it conveys the notion that progress often involves effort, perseverance, and overcoming obstacles. Just as climbing a hill requires determination and resilience, so too does advancing in one's career.Moreover, I highlight the role of coaching as a crucial catalyst for success. Just as a climber may benefit from guidance and support while navigating a challenging ascent, individuals can significantly enhance their career trajectories through the insights, encouragement, and strategic advice a skilled coach provides. With the right mindset and support, the career growth journey becomes attainable and a rewarding and fulfilling endeavor.Dr. Loren M.

Elizabeth Sockolov is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a member of Psi Chi, The International Honor Society of Psychology, and the founder of One Mind Therapy. Elizabeth's journey started eleven years ago when she got into recovery from addiction. Like so many, she used drugs as a means to deal with her anxiety. Then everything changed when she discovered meditation. It became the cure to the anxious thoughts swirling in her mind. When she realized the power and freedom that meditation provided, she felt compelled to teach others the skills that had saved her life.She started by leading meditation groups at treatment centers for people who were struggling with addiction. She furthered her practice through silent retreats, loving kindness practices and began the work to become a Mindfulness meditation teacher. Elizabeth has helped so many people struggling with addiction through her meditation teaching and therapy work. Now as a mother of two, she's had to find new ways to make meditation work in an environment that includes less and less dedicated time to her practice. She applies those lessons to the busy lives that we all lead.Episode ResourcesOne Mind Therapy | onemindtherapy.comConnect with ElizabethInstagram |  @onemindtherapyConnect with The Courage to ChangePodcast Website | lionrock.life/couragetochangepodcastPodcast Instagram | @couragetochange_podcastYouTube | The Courage to Change PodcastTikTok | @ashleyloebblassingamePodcast Email | podcast@lionrock.lifePodcast Facebook | @thecouragetochangepodcastLionrock ResourcesLionrock Life Mobile App | lionrock.life/mobile-appSupport Group Meeting Schedule | lionrock.life/meetings

Join me and my guest, Kala DeHaan-Hill, as we talk about solving the mysteries of health and wellness. Kala is a women’s health nurse practitioner who saw the problem with traditional medicine and started a journey to connect more with people that need medical attention beyond a drug prescription.   In this episode, you’ll learn: The value of genuinely providing a remedy to a patient’s concerns. Antidepressants and postmortem depression. Menopause and how vitamin D, B12, and probiotics help with energy and hormones. How thyroid levels relate to age, genetics, and other factors. What are the medications for any complications? Inflammation, gut health, allergies, and hormones. And more!   ~   About Kala DeHaan-Hill   Kala has been in the healthcare field for more than 13 years. She received her BSN from UT Health Science Center San Antonio in 2002. She began her career as a Registered Nurse working in Labor and Delivery, worked in the mother/baby unit and in the nursery unit at Medical City Dallas Hospital. Kala then started working at Presbyterian Hospital of Allen from 2004-2007 where she served as charge nurse in Labor and Delivery. Being able to witness the continual onset of life was a very fulfilling experience for Kala, one she will cherish forever.    Kala earned her Master of Science Degree (MS) as a Women’s Health Certified Nurse Practitioner (WHCNP) from Texas Woman’s University in 2007. She graduated with a 4.0 GPA and was a member of the International Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau. She received her clinical hours working at Planned Parenthood, Parkland Gynecological Clinic, and multiple OB/Gyn doctors’ offices.    Kala then worked as a Women's Health Nurse Practioner at Texas Medical and Surgical Associates followed by Glen Lakes Ob/Gyn from 2007 to 2013. She specialized in all areas of women’s healthcare from teen health, pregnancy, postpartum care, annual exams, problem visits, contraception, and issues related to menopause. She trained several Nurse Practitioner students and found that she had a passion for teaching. She also provided Botox and Juvaderm treatments and currently does these injections at Pink Link Medical.    Kala then worked at Hirsch Clinic from 2013-2014 where she found her passion for working with hormone issues; especially disorders of the thyroid and PCOS. Working at Hirsch Clinic is what prompted her to want to start her own practice geared specifically towards hormone imbalances. This lead to the opening of PINK LINK MEDICAL in Plano, TX.   On her time off, Kala enjoys volunteering at Pathways, a non-profit organization that offers experiential and intensive programs designed to help empower men and women to better their lives and become the best they can be. She has sponsored numerous people through the process and is always willing share her story.    Kala comments on one of the main reasons she decided to pursue her own practice: “I always felt restricted in taking care of my patients. I did not feel 15 minutes was enough time to fully listen and evaluate patient concerns. I felt traditional medicine concentrated more on “fixing” the symptoms instead of taking care of the underlying problem. Personally, I have battled several health issues; PCOS and low thyroid being just a few. I felt frustrated with a short 15 minute visit, being shuffled from one doctor to the next, and feeling like I wasn’t being heard. I wanted to figure out a way to change this for the patients I treat. I am incredibly pass   Check out Kala’s suggestions with vitamins, supplements, and probiotics below!   Metagenics: https://kdehaan.metagenics.com/   OmegaGenics EPA/DHA 1,000mg (fish oil) 2 dailyPhytomulti (multivitamin with phytonutrients) 2 dailyVitamin D3 5,000iu/ dayCoQ10 100mg: daily Ultra Flora Balance Probiotic: I daily Glycogenics (B complex): 1 daily Magnesium Citrate 300mg: 1-2 at night (or Epsom salt baths 4x/ week for at least 20 min)During the pandemic I suggest Ultra Potent Vitamin C 1,000mg: 2 daily Zinc AG 20mg: 2 daily Of course I adjust the doses based on lab values.

Jennifer Lucero-Earle is a magician of the soul. She uses music, movement and powerful storytelling to shift your mind, heart, spirit and body to higher vibrations. Her maiden name, Lucero, means “bright star.” Jennifer is an embodied diviner, the creator of ArcanaDance, a Black Belt Nia teacher and movement facilitator with over 30 years of experience working with the tarot. Her charge in life is to facilitate safe non-judgmental experiences for people to move, feel, heal, and grow into a more joyful self through tarot and on the dance floor of life. Born and raised in the boogie down Bronx to parents from Puerto Rico and Argentina, Jennifer is a proud first-generation American. She attended public schools in the Bronx for her entire education and was first in her family to graduate from college and attend graduate school. It "only" took her 10 years and attending three different colleges to complete her B.A. She finally graduated with Psi Chi honors (International Honor Society in Psychology) and magna cum laude with a B.A. in Psychology from the State University of New York at New Paltz in 2003. There were lots of tears, of pride and joy, at her graduation. She then went on to pursue very “no blueprint-like” graduate training in Experiential Health and Healing at The Graduate Institute in Connecticut where she focused her studies on kinesthetic-learning and somatic (body-based) healing. Jennifer has an older sibling she adores to no end and several nieces and nephews that mean the world to her. Two fun facts, Jennifer is the tallest woman in her family, at 5’2, and one of five generations in her family alive at one time. She feels so blessed to have a living abuelita (99 years of age), mother, niece and great niece. A no blueprint soul from the start, Jennifer always had a desire to move west, even researching west coast colleges when she was in high school. Her dream finally came true after having what she calls a “catalyzing and life-transforming” experience due to 9/11/2001 and the subsequent deaths of her father and father-in-law. In 2005, seeking to set new roots, she migrated west. Jennifer currently lives in Seattle, WA with her wonderful husband of 18 years and their two cats. Her American husband, also a native New Yorker, can trace his family roots back to the settlers, which makes for fascinating conversation! Two creative souls, their home is a haven for art, culture, music, dance, laughter, geek moments, and the occasional science experiment. She feels so lucky to have such a loving, incredible ally, support and champion on her journey to finding her place in the world. Jennifer travels around the country and world sharing her work. She welcomes invitations to bring her work to you.
