Hypocrisy of Evolving

The Lazy Overachiever

As we continue the "Normal Is Not Necessary" series, host Naketa Ren Thigpen dives deep into the often-overlooked hypocrisy that infiltrates personal and professional growth. Transitioning from one field of expertise to another can be fulfilling and necessary, but it can also bring a dismissive attitude toward prior industries or practices. Naketa examines the complexities of accepting where you are, navigating fears, and embracing the wholeness of your journey. She shares insights from her holistic approach as a balance and relationship advisor, urging listeners to reflect on how they treat others in different fields. This episode highlights maintaining respect and humility amidst your evolution, reminding us that growth should foster empathy rather than arrogance.

The conversation doesn't stop here, come chat with me over on @naketarenthigpen Substack.

I take you deeper with unfiltered reflections, the behind-the-scenes thought process, and the real-world application of everything we unpacked here.

Pull up a chair, pour a cup (or glass, no judgement here) and let's talk work, life, love, growth, (and) how to sustain it without losing your mogul-in-the-making mind.

Introducing The Lazy Overachiever Show with Naketa Ren Thigpen—a fresh space where we break more than boxes. Unlike our flagship show, Balance Boldly, which focuses on building legacies with intentional relationships and work-life balance, The Lazy Overachiever Show hones in on innovative self-care practices and sustainable growth strategies designed for founders & leaders determined to evolve beyond the status quo.

This podcast dares you to break free from outdated norms, embrace intentional self-care (aka intentionally selfish self-care), and expand your brilliance through your work while still holding space for the powerful overlap with balance and relationship management. Both shows are dedicated to empowering you to strengthen your boundaries, but this one invites you to unapologetically shatter barriers along the way.

On this show (and) in Naketa's everyday life, she's sharing how the balance of embracing a little laziness with the desire to dominate obstacles is how burnout, overwhelm, and loneliness are eliminated, not simply deferred.

Haven’t heard our flagship podcast on work-life balance and relationship management strategies?

~With infinite ripples of love (and) BOLD edification, enjoy the balance of your day,

Naketa Ren Thigpen, Your Balance (and) Relationship Advisor♾️💜💋
