#302 - WOMEN WHO MAKE AN IMPACT SERIES: Why Self-Awareness Isn’t Enough with Naketa Thigpen

The Business Of Happiness

In a narrative that tugs at the heartstrings, Naketa talks with Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy and sheds light on her metamorphosis, transitioning from an accolade-laden professional to someone who grapples with and heals from the scars of past traumas. Naketa emphasizes the potency of vulnerability and the strength it bestows. By being candid about her own experiences with childhood abuse and the struggle for self-validation, she illuminates the path to profound healing and authenticity. She shares personal anecdotes that show the delicate balance between ambition, hard work, and the art of detachment — a vital component for individual well-being and community contribution.
Naketa Ren Thigpen, the #1 Balance (and) Relationship Advisor globally, is dedicated to creating stronger families. Her clients, including founders and entrepreneurs, value both restful recharge and bold milestones. Thriving at the intersection of work-life balance, sustainable business, mental health, and intimate relationships, Naketa champions unapologetic insights. She encourages intentional selfishness by leveraging micro sabbaticals, empowering working less and trusting your inner brilliance more.
