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This podcast dares you to break free from outdated norms, embrace intentional self-care (aka intentionally selfish self-care), and expand your brilliance through your work while still holding space for the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?

Tune in to the Balance Boldly for Ambitious Women in Business (and a few brave men) Podcast on any of your favorite podcast apps, or listen here on Apple Podcast: https://rebrand.ly/BalanceBoldly-ApplePodcasts

Before you go, remember to rebel against the rush, embrace a little more of your lazy as you work less (and) trust your brilliance more…

~With infinite love (and) bold edification,
