Aside from being an empowerment speaker, Naketa is also the host of the podcast for ambitious women and a few brave men called Balance Boldly. She is also the author of the upcoming book Selfish: Permission to Pause, Live, Love & Laugh Your Way to Joy. With the mission to help others enjoy life as they create balance and joy, Naketa will be reaching out to more audiences as she launches her new show Kitchen Conversations #Unfiltered in the Spring of 2019.

Naketa joins me today to share how she balances her time - both personally and professionally - boldly and unapologetically. She explains what a seasonal show is and the different strategies she uses to keep her audience engaged and interested between seasons. Naketa also shares why she’s not worried about the drop in live plays she experiences between seasons as well as how her podcast helps expand her personal and professional network while achieving various goals.

 

“They don't know if it's going to be week six or week eight, but my listeners trust that I'm going to show up. And they're coming and listening and learning and gathering which is all that I ever wanted.” - Naketa Thigpen
