S25 Ep 146Unleash Your Potential Without Holding Back Your True Self with Jen O'Donnell

In this episode of the Balance Boldly Podcast seating with Naketa Ren Thigpen let’s welcome Jen O'Donnell, she's a business and mindset coach for team leaders in network marketing and women entrepreneurs that are scaling their businesses, right? Trying to avoid all the mistakes and all the noise that is happening in network marketing, which I know has its own caveats because there is a lot of companies that don't think network marketers actually make money and Jen is proof, living, walking, breathing, vacationing, every month proof that you can in fact do that.What you will learn· The importance of mindset over skills· You can gain momentum but if it is no supported with the right mindset it won’t last.· Have you ever felt like going backward and that nothing works?· Did you know that your mind really does control whether you're successful or not?· You will learn that what you value is how you show up.More about Jen O'DonnellAfter being in the industry for many years & sitting at the feet with some of the industry's pioneers, she learned the importance of mindset over skills. She watched many people go through skills training & a little mindset work to gaining momentum & then going back because nothing in their mind, self-image, or longer-term habits had changed. She watched leaders fall away as quickly as they came, not because they did not know what to do, or their why wasn't strong enough, but because they didn't know how to maintain a strong mindset.Contact: Jen O'Donnell Group for Leaders & Team in Network Marketing/Direct Sales- https://www.facebook.com/groups/elevateleadership2612/My personal Page-https://www.facebook.com/jen.odonnell.5If you are willing and ready, let’s shake the shame and spread healing & hope to women ready to get more of what they want.

S23 Ep 144How To Strengthen Your Relationship: A Special Power Couple Interview with Jeanie & Ross Coomber

In this episode of the Balance Boldly Podcast seating with Naketa Ren Thigpen let’s welcome Jeanie & Ross Coomber, they are amazing human beings, the absolute definition of a power couple as I have defined it. Power couples, although they can be celebrities and high profile, that is not the core characteristic that I define them by. I describe a power couple as two people with strong what I call IPA that's being influential in their chosen industry or expertise, their philanthropic, not just financially but energetically, they're not afraid to roll up their sleeves and dive in. And let's put this in the parentheses. The final part of that IPA is they have to be strong advocates for causes that impact disproportionately affected groups of people. That's super important because power couples give back. And they're not just giving from little extras, they're giving from a space of sacrifice and time, energy, and resources, which is super important. They also love each other. They are in it to win with their forever love. They believe not only in the potential of themselves, but the potential that they have together when they unite as a power couple.What you will learn● That working as a team not only in business but also in your relationship matters.● Communication and being honest with each other take your relationship to the next level.● How to strengthen your relationship by being individually motivated● Finance is one of the number one reasons marriage never makes it through.● Making time for intimacy and being aware of each other needs.● Intimacy is also those little moments of taking care of each other not only physically but emotionally.● Recreational intimacy is another huge part of intimacy.● Going to a therapist if needed can save your marriage. This and more on this amazing power couple conversation.

S22 Ep 119Balance Boldly Luminaries Edition with Kenya Hunt

The Luminaries Edition of the Balance Boldly Podcast is a dedication to outstanding WOMEN who inspire, influence, and ignite a better tomorrow with the courageous work they implement today! Today, Naketa Ren Thigpen welcomes Luminary Kenya Hunt, Author of Girl, Gurl, Grrrl and Fashion Director of Grazia UK. Kenya's career spans working for some of the media world's most influential women’s titles on both sides of the Atlantic from her post-graduate days as an Assistant Editor at the seminal magazine, Jane, to her years as Deputy Editor of ELLE UK. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian, The Evening Standard, Vogue and other publications. In addition, she has made a number of appearances on BBC Woman’s Hour, Sky News and more. An American based in England, she lives south of the river in London with her husband and two sons. Against the backdrop of this rise in visibility of black women, I was watching us go from milestone to milestone when to win headline-to-headline, magazine cover to magazine cover, but at the same time encountering so many incredibly inspiring women through my work. “I wrote this book as a love letter to us” [Kenya Hunt 3:31] Key takeaways:· I wanted this book to really send her (black woman) joy, as if I wanted to send her the joyful aspects of being who we are, as well. Therefore, I mean, I really just hope that women will read it and feel seen and recognized, but just really reflect on the particularity of their own experiences. Kenya Hunt [6:12] · I wrote about the idea of black girl magic and black excellence in the chapter of my book called bad bitches, and how there is sometimes this perception of black girl magic being twinned with exceptionalism and excellence and that drive to be the headline makers. And there's beauty in that and there's power in that. Kenya Hunt [9:06] · There is a real power in recognizing the black excellence and the black magic in the every day. So if we did not just wake up in the morning in a global pandemic, manage to get our kids dressed for school, and get them off for the day. That is a moment of excellence and that's, that is worth really celebrating too. Kenya Hunt [9:36] More about Kenya Hunt In her new book, Girl Gurl Grrrl, Kenya Hunt (an American who moved to London and has called it home for the last decade) - unpacks what it means to be a black woman and girl. It's a timeless celebration of what it means to be a Black woman in today’s world. As a collection of essays, the opening essay discusses the variations of the word “girl”, how and why it’s used, and especially in relation to how Black women use this word. Kenya Hunt also takes an interesting angle as a fashion writer and unpacks the fashion industry as it stands through the eyes of a Black woman, and how being in the fashion industry often means she is the only Black woman in the room; and one of the few select women who can offer hope and wisdom to other women of color in the industry — and writes frankly about the exhaustion, and hope, that this brings.
