In this empowering episode of the Balance Boldly Podcast, Naketa Ren Thigpen addresses the complexities of navigating unsupportive partnerships during pivotal life or career transitions. As part of The Alignment Exit Series, she builds on earlier episodes by exploring the crucial concept of creating “air”—space for growth—through auditing, investigating, and recalibrating relationships. Sharing her powerful "3G mindset"—Give, Give, Grow—as a guiding framework for balancing energy, resources, and gratitude without overextending yourself, she focuses on clear communication, self-awareness, and mutual respect. Encouraging listeners to reflect on their relationships and ensure they align with their evolving needs, tune in to discover how to reposition or let go of relationships that no longer serve you. It's time to pave the way for a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Personal Note from Naketa:
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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
