Own Your Glow: A Soulful Guide to Luminous Living and Crowning the Queen Within

I highly recommend Own Your Glow as a necessary manual to add to your personal growth toolkit. I bought both the hard cover and the eBook! It is meant either to slowly and deeply ingest as you sip your beverage of choice in solitude or to enthusiastically devour as you gather in community with a good group of girlfriends or better yet, just do both. Latham showcases her wealth of knowledge, expertise and wisdom in areas such as plant-based medicine and nutrition, women’s health, and yoga, just to name a few of the areas that she implores to us discover, dive deep and delight in. It reminds me of Ntozake Shange’s Sassafrass, Cypress and Indigo, with a clarion call to return to the divine feminine. She, much like Ntozake, includes recipes, DIY beauty treatments and a musical playlist, for example as well as rituals, meditations, and “glow tips” to incorporate into your daily wellness and self-care practice in manageable ways. Thank you Latham, for a sharing your soul with a well written, well researched guide that I will continue to recommend and share with others. She is a revolutionary force to be reckoned with and I look forward to learning and reading more from her in the future.

Latham offers valuable insight for turning every part of your life into a mini-meditation, which brings another dimension of mindful awareness to otherwise throwaway moments and leads you to feel more connected to everyday life. Highly recommended!

I cannot say enough great things about this book. I enjoyed the first two chapters so much that after purchasing a Kindle copy of the book, I ended up purchasing a hardcopy because I realized this was a book I will reference many times over. This was an excellent read for the end of 2017/beginning of 2018 and it confirmed so many life lessons I have picked up the last 20 years of my life, actually quite a few things I have shared with friends and younger cousins. Latham did an EXCELLENT job of providing guidance on how to "own your glow" without coming off as preachy as some self-help books seem to do, it was more like gentle guidance from your cool sister/cousin/friend. I know a number of younger women that will greatly benefit from this book, honestly is an excellent book for all women from early 20s on up. I'm 40 and much of it served as a gentle reminder that I occasionally need to adjust my crown, straighten my spine, and walk in my God given glow.

This book is so beautiful! You don’t necessarily need to be a mother to gain something from this book. You don’t even need to have a uterus. Latham was successful in helping me own my glow, rid any toxic waste holding me back and opened my eyes to different viewpoints! I’ve bought this book for different people I know and they loved it! I also have this book in audio and I love it!!

This book was incredible! Being fairly new to intentional personal development (books, yoga, exercise) myself, I will say it requires an open mind. A few years ago, I probably would have thought this was too much “hippie” for me. If that might be you, too, I strongly encourage you to get past it because there is so much goodness in this book! It’s an all encompassing self transformation book that is specific enough so you’re not left thinking “okay, but what should I actually DO?” but open ended enough where if one example or suggestion doesn’t suit you, that’s no problem (and probably expected). Latham inspires us while encouraging us to think for ourselves with our own needs and desires in mind. “Own Your Glow and it will light your path along the way...you alone have the power to transform your future.” Please read this, you won’t regret it! And grab a highlighter ;)

I listened to Latham Thomas interviewed by Marie Forleo and loved her wisdom so I ordered the book. I just got off a flight and read half the book, I could not put it down. Latham's guidance is real and practical, deeply spiritual, and profoundly different from 99% of advice out there. I agree with her 100% that slowing down, doing less, playing more, and being more are the keys to the life we want. We must prioritize ourselves! As women we run ourselves into the ground taking care of others. Its even worse among my women of color friends. I am going to order a bunch of these books as holiday gifts because I want the many women I love to read it and learn how to put on our own oxygen mask first. Thank you Latham for an insightful and helpful book.

Pros: love the cover and love some of the tipsYet:The book has a lot of things that I honestly didn’t expect, I should have done more research on the author instead of just following the hype. It’s perfect for being who don’t have traditional believes. I for one don’t believe in smudging or have lunar rituals.The book reminded me of a lot of things I already know and already practice as part of my healthy lifestyle. For an avid reader and someone advance in their healthy lifestyle there wasn’t anything really new to excite me but it would be a great reference for people just starting to make healthier mind body and soul choices.

Latham’s book is not only well written and inspiring, her book is now my conpanion. I write in it - I share it - I practice something out of it every single day. This book has helped me to slow down and think about what it is I truly want and who I want to become. It is very counter culture for women to take time to nurture themselves, this book helps that process. I am so grateful for Latham’s book - and also thankful she shared her light with all of us, as a result I know many women who have since read the book stepping out into their own light!

I will start with a caveat that I've read and explored a lot of (new age) spirituality, self-development, health and wellness topics so my experience may not apply to you.With this background in mind, I didn't find almost anything in this book that I hadn't encountered before and the very few new things weren't really something I felt would make a difference for me.

Really enjoyed this book, could not put it down. Made me feel really confident and yet so at peace. Latham has shared some wonderful meditations and mini workshops to help you with aspects of your life.Lots of great information and written well.Definitely recommend for any female to read!

Completely practical and accessible for the modern day women. The deep messages and spiritual golden nuggets are combined with the tips and advice, which I didn't think I would enjoy but actually means it's easier to digest. Completely relevant and a true gem.

An inspired book full of knowledge and wisdom for every woman. Guidence on your life path for building a life of wonder and self growth .

I love this book! Worth a buy.
