The After Action Review

Today during my 8-mile run I had a powerful runner's high. At the height of my runner's high I was reminded of how amazingly developed my power base is. It was then that I realized I never took the time to breakdown what a power base actually is. The power base is the hidden gem of your resilience. It is that thing that girds and propels you forward. That thing that reinvigorates your will and resolve. Boldly step into your power base and do the work!!!

Well Well Well!! Happy Anniversary to the podcast platform! In this special 1 year anniversary episode I wanted to cover some of the various Laws of the Universe, have a real world discussion on ambivalence and the victim mindset, and discuss the recipe for success. This was an amazing episode to develop (we'll see if it out does The Power Of The Pivot). Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Sincerely, 

Coach Latham 

Whew and we're back!!! In this episode we're discussing how our life is similar to some of our favorite brands. This means that we have to understand how our decisions, which shape our lives, ultimately define the way that people in the world perceive us. If you're getting ready to start a business, start school, start a new job, get into a relationship, looking to mend a friendship, or just want to develop yourself... well why aren't you listening by now!!!!!

Recently in a coaching session a client asked me, "why should we persevere if nothing ever works out? Why should we keep trying if it only gets harder?". During the session I answered her questions and reaffirmed her worth and value. But it really got me thinking through the week. Why do I choose to persevere? When I take a good look through the looking glass (mirror) and see myself, what things about me spark a flame and give me the umph to get up and get going?! Well.... you'll have to listen to find out :) 

Whew listen.... we covered so much in this special episode that I don't even know how to honestly begin. We hit love, loss, grief, mental illness, friendship, relationships, queer inclusivity, Kanye, Putin, COVID-19, navigating as a black American, politics, boundaries, spiritual alignment, and more! 

I sincerely thank Lindsey (Linz_wags) for blessing us with her time and wisdom. Shoutout to iComplexity for the opening music for this special episode! 

Enjoy,

Coach Latham 

Hello Hello! I'm back with another exciting and impactful episode! Today, the focus is on mental health. I take time to breakdown: Overworking, Burnout, Stress, Grief, Depression, Self Sabotage, and Positive Coping Skills. 

Be on the lookout for more collaborative episodes that I'll be doing over the next few months as I continue to bring you insightful and relevant information. 

Be well,

Coach Latham 

Some days are just not as good as we'd like for them to be. Other times we fall short of our goals, we become hard on ourselves, and we only end up beating ourselves up more than we should. In this episode we discuss our emotional response to life's misfortunes, how we can handle blockage, how to stop our energy from leaking, and how to re-direct our focus. 

This week we're tackling the issue of how our mindset and the way that we see things as a problem or a challenge affect our outlook, habits, and decision making.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2022!!! We're starting the year off getting right to business! Keith from (Keith Khronicles) is back to help bring this episode to life. Self-rejection is a form of self-sabotage and limiting beliefs. Often, we are not even the creators of these thoughts, they are projected onto us by our caregivers or role models. Stick around as we dig deep into what self-rejection is, how it shows up in our lives, how it affects us, and how we can work through it.

Merry belated Christmas!! In this episode I cover the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel at the bank of the river. I had it in my mind that I wanted this episode to be about self-rejection, but as fate would have it, I awoke this morning and for some reason the story of Jacob kept playing out in my head. Then I got a notification from my Facebook memories and 11 years ago on this day, I referenced the story of Jacob as my great-grandmother wrestled with her angel for a blessing during her surgery to remove cancer from her body. So, I must be obedient to the word and the will of God because there is someone who is going to hear and see this message that new life might be breathed into them. Today, I am asking that you allow me to enter into your dark places, that you might bring me into the recess of your spirit where you hide all of those things that embarrass you, those things that make you feel unworthy, those things that cause you to labor in your sleep. My objective today is to bring you out of the dark, to stand with you while your vision adjusts, and to set you on your way.

If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or dark thoughts, I urge you to visit www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/call, you can also call 1-800-273-8255. They offer an online chat service through the website provided. Both the phone line and the chat service are monitored 24/7, there will always be someone standing by to help you.
