Welcome to the 48th episode of the Back to Human Podcast.

In this raw and introspective conversation, I sit down with my good friend Alvey Thompson, a coach, a father, and a man whose transformation has been shaped by personal loss, emotional evolution, and an unwavering commitment to truth. Alvey opens up about the pivotal moments that redefined his values, from his mother’s long battle with illness to becoming a father and stepping into a higher version of himself.

We explore what it means to lead with presence, to coach from experience, and to disrupt cycles of stagnation—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

We dive into:

• ​ Alvey’s journey into coaching, sparked by his mother’s chronic illness
• ​ His challenge of 1000 general health deposits in 100 days and how consistent action rewires identity
• ​ Counting your wins
• ​ Awareness, intention, and disruption—and how real change demands all three
• ​ How people overcomplicate health
• ​ How fear, distorted love, and emotional immaturity shaped his early responses to pain
• ​ The difference between being a trainer and being a life coach
• ​ What it means to serve with dignity, and let others say no
• ​ Why the people closest to us are often the hardest to hear
• ​ The limiting beliefs his clients bring to the table
• ​ What have been some of Alvey’s own self-limiting beliefs that have kept him from taking action?
• ​ The importance of digging deeper than physical goals to uncover the real why
• ​ How fatherhood has changed his worldview and sharpened his purpose
• ​ The core values Alvey wants to instill in his son, Zion

This episode isn’t just a conversation—it’s a challenge to look inward, strip back the layers, and get radically honest about who you want to be.
