In this impactful episode of the Balanced Boldly Podcast, Naketa Ren Thigpen explores how misaligned relationships can drain your energy, disrupt your physical and spiritual well-being, and hinder your success. Have you ever felt emotionally drained or physically off after an interaction? It’s not just in your head—these toxic relationships can throw your endocrine system out of balance, leaving you feeling heavy and uncentered. Targeting ambitious women in business, Naketa introduces The Alignment Exit Series and the AIR strategy—Audit, Investigate, Reposition—to help you identify and shift toxic relationships. Ready to set strong boundaries and foster uplifting connections? This episode is your first step.

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.


More on the BBP:

Introducing Balance Boldly for Ambitious Women in Business (and a few brave men) with Naketa Ren Thigpen—a transformative podcast for founders & leaders who believe that building a legacy is as much about WHO you build it with as HOW you build it.

Unlike our latest amazing podcast, The Lazy Overachiever Show, which challenges norms around self-care and growth strategies, Balance Boldly, dubbed the BBP, emphasizes the deep connections and intentional work-life balance and relationship management strategies that form the foundation for lasting impact. Amplifying the power of intimacy by demonstrating how success in the boardroom is deeply intertwined with the energy you cultivate in your personal life.

On this show (and) in Naketa's everyday life, she's sharing how prioritized mental health with non-negotiable boundaries and strong relationship health help to collapse time, while rippling joy across generations.
