Being a Black man in America isn't just difficult, it's a daily struggle often overlooked. But when life gets heavy, where can Black men turn? Where are the safe spaces that remind them they're not alone? We sit down with Dr. Maurice Ball, community leader and life coach, for an honest conversation about the pressures Black men face, breaking generational trauma, and the importance of older Black men living with purpose to uplift future generations. This powerful discussion is one you don't want to miss. FOLLOW DR. MAURICE BALL Instagram: @cmauriceball1 YouTube, TikTok, Facebook: @cmauriceball Podcast: Open For Discussion

In uniform, you're trained to lead, suppress emotion, and never let your guard down. At home, you're expected to engage, apologize, and emotionally connect. In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton break down the silent damage caused when apologies go unsaid (Amazon Affiliate)—and how that emotional weight shows up long after the moment has passed.

Today, we're discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child's parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it's unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We'll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there's a problem with a child's behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable. --https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Join Dr. Rak and Po as they sit down with longevity expert and Ironman triathlete Scott Fulton, who offers a fresh and inspiring perspective on aging. Together, they explore how we can confront aging challenges early, adopting a proactive stance that contrasts with society's fear-driven anti-aging narrative. Scott champions the idea of embracing aging as a rewarding phase of life, underscoring the importance of investing in physical, mental, and social well-being—and the vital role curiosity and connection play in a fulfilling life as we grow older. The discussion also takes a critical look at Western ideologies around aging, contrasting them with communal traditions that view aging as a natural and celebrated process. Reflecting on the impact of industrialization and suburbanization, Dr. Rak, Po, and Scott emphasize the need to rebuild intergenerational support systems by learning from cultures that prioritize strong family bonds and community ties. The episode concludes with a look at Scott's concept of "Wealthspan," an approach that integrates health and wealth to redefine successful aging. Scott shares his own story of transformation from a sedentary lifestyle to competing in Ironman races at 47, challenging stereotypes around aging and athleticism. Together, they unpack the importance of career transitions, financial responsibility, and the impact of technology on cognitive health, encouraging listeners to engage in proactive planning and meaningful conversations around aging and end-of-life considerations.

Embracing the Journey Towards Healing, Divorce Recovery The complexities of life often lead to difficult and heart-wrenching experiences such as divorce recovery. Embracing this journey is essential for personal growth and healing. Acknowledging the pain, seeking support, and consciously working through these emotions can lead to profound transformations. Alberta Jordan's Inspiring Transformation One powerful story of transformation is that of Alberta Jordan, a divorce recovery and trauma coach. Her work focuses on helping individuals who have gone through a divorce and experienced significant loss. Life after a traumatic event, like divorce, often includes a loss of self. Jordan's coaching helps clients find their footing again but with a renewed sense of exhilaration and purpose. Her dedication to guiding others through their darkest times has been life-changing for many. By leveraging her own experiences and deep understanding of trauma recovery, she aids others in reclaiming their lives and stepping forward with confidence. The Role of Personal Experience in Professional Coaching Personal experiences shape the approach coaches take in their professional lives. For Jordan, her traumatic experiences, including abuse and a life-threatening brain hemorrhage, became the foundation of her empathetic and effective coaching methods. After her recovery, she pursued a master's degree in healthcare and realized her natural inclination toward coaching trauma survivors. This journey of self-discovery and professional realization led Jordan to become certified and establish a practice focused on divorce recovery. Her clients benefit from her profound understanding of trauma and her compassionate, hands-on approach to recovery and empowerment. Practical Strategies for Overcoming Trauma during Divorce Recovery Jordan's coaching emphasizes actionable strategies for overcoming the debilitating effects of divorce trauma. Some key aspects of her program include: Financial and Administrative Organization: Helping clients audit and manage their business-related expenses to reduce unnecessary financial strain. Client Relations Management: Addressing and rectifying situations where clients still need to fulfill their financial obligations, ensuring fair and sustainable business practices. SEO and Website Optimization: Teaching clients the importance of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and helping them improve their online visibility to attract more business. These practical steps are coupled with emotional and psychological support to help clients navigate their path to divorce recovery more effectively. The Importance of Addressing Root Causes It's crucial to address trauma's root causes for genuine healing. Trauma can severely impact one's ability to make rational decisions, often leading to repeated patterns of toxic relationships and victimhood. Jordan's coaching digs deep into these root causes, helping clients heal old wounds and empowering them to make better life choices. Read the full shownotes

Professors Krystal Hays and Veola Vazquez join us on the podcast to talk about their book Healing Conversations on Race: Four Key Practices From Scripture and Psychology. These women partnered on this book with two other colleagues — Joshua Knabb and Charles Lee-Johnson. Together, they developed the HEAL model for building and deepening cross-race relationships. The model is grounded in the narrative of Scripture and informed by psychology and social science.

Amy Kartheiser is the founder and principal designer of Amy Kartheiser Design and the founder of a nonprofit called "Under the Same Sky." On today's episode, Amy opened up about her personal journey dealing with the heartbreaking loss of her brother to suicide, and how it inspired her to create a safe space for healing. Under the Same Sky raises funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Healing Conversations Program, which connects people who have gone through similar losses. We talked about the ups and downs of starting a charity, the need for open dialogue around suicide, and the cultural taboo surrounding suicide. She urged listeners to offer support without judgment and to avoid stigmatizing language when discussing suicide. Amy also highlighted the power of therapy and respecting each person's unique healing process. We wrapped up the episode with Amy sharing details about her upcoming event and expressing her gratitude for the chance to share her story. "After losing my brother to suicide and seeing what it did to my family, I almost felt catapulted on a journey. His death gave me purpose and it helped me find a voice that I didn't know I had anymore." - Amy Kartheiser Links: Christie's Website Christie's Instagram: @sasssays Under the Same Sky's Website Under the Same Sky - Starry Night Soiree - Nov 10th, 2023 Under the Same Sky's Instagram: @utsscharity Amy's Website Amy's Instagram: @amykartheiserdesign
