Friendships: Don't Adapt, Influence

  • Summary

  • In this installment of our "Normal is Not Necessary" series, Naketa dives into understanding platonic relationships. Titled "Friendships: Don't Adapt, Influence," Naketa breaks down the different dynamics of friendships and encourages us to rethink what we've accepted as normal. Whether it's seasonal friends who come and go or lifetime buddies who sometimes bring friction, this episode is all about questioning and redefining support. Naketa asks us to be more mindful of the energy we invest and to notice if we're always the ones giving. How do we show up? What do we tolerate? It's time to influence, not just adapt. Tune in with Naketa as she helps us protect our peace, tap into our inner brilliance, and embrace being a 'lazy overachiever' in our friendships.

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    This podcast dares you to break free from outdated norms, embrace intentional self-care (aka intentionally selfish self-care), and expand your brilliance through your work while still holding space for the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