Being selfish might be just the thing you need to tap into your joy. It’s time to reframe what it means to be intentionally selfish in order to live the life you want. When’s the last time you were selfish? Better yet, when’s the last time you were selfish without feeling guilty about it?  It’s high time we rebrand what it means to be selfish and what it looks like to choose yourself more often. The days of endless self sacrificing and carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders are over. We are now entering our “Soft Life Era”. On this week’s episode we are joined by Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Trauma Specialist, and #1 Balance (and) Relationship Advisor in the World, Naketa Ren Thigpen, to help us all understand just how important it is to prioritize self care on a daily basis. From the mathematical formula to achieving balance to why selfish lovers are the best lovers. You’ve been selfless long enough. This is your official permission slip to be selfish.   Watch the conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-IM_4tqJ78g   KEY POINTS & QUOTES: Learn to create the space for your joy, healing and forgiveness. Start by coming into your body. Your body will tell you the truth. It’s ok to not explain yourself. “No” is a full sentence. Admit the truth of what you really want. Creating boundaries around your truth will help you achieve your reality. When you are intentional about being selfish, your life becomes more juicy.   CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST: Naketa Ren Thigpen Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/@TLOshow Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/asknaketa Website: https://thigpro.com  CONNECT WITH YOUR HOSTS: Alechia Reese Instagram | http://instagram.com/alechiareese LinkedIn | linkedin.com/in/alechiareese   Dani Bourdeau Instagram | http://instagram.com/thedanibourdeau   Like what you're hearing?
