Creating Safety for Stillness with Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy

When you’re ready to shift from the edge of overachievement mode to embrace a little more lazy by accessing calm and self-compassion, it can be challenging to get our mind + body out of that high adrenaline state. For some, it’s extra hard because you know the quieting that comes with stillness can evoke feelings in your body that make you feel unsafe.

It’s why many people lean into statements or mantras that justify their “ability” to do so many things and rebuke the notion that they need moments to slow down and relax a bit. Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy, a potent human and valued leader as a Happiness & Transformational Mindset Coach for dentist and doctors, shares her personal journey, insights, and expertise to the table as she encourages you to create safety so you can be still when you need and choose to be.

Personal Note from Naketa at link below:

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.

Introducing The Lazy Overachiever Show with Naketa Ren Thigpen—a fresh space where we break more than boxes. Unlike our flagship show, Balance Boldly, which focuses on building legacies with intentional relationships and work-life balance, The Lazy Overachiever Show hones in on innovative self-care practices and sustainable growth strategies designed for founders & leaders determined to evolve beyond the status quo.

This podcast dares you to break free from outdated norms, embrace intentional self-care (aka intentionally selfish self-care), and expand your brilliance through your work while still holding space for the powerful overlap with balance and relationship management. Both shows are dedicated to empowering you to strengthen your boundaries, but this one invites you to unapologetically shatter barriers along the way.

On this show (and) in Naketa’s everyday life, she’s sharing how the balance of embracing a little laziness with the desire to dominate obstacles is how burnout, overwhelm, and loneliness are eliminated, not simply deferred.

Haven’t heard our flagship podcast on work-life balance and relationship management strategies?

Tune in to the Balance Boldly for Ambitious Women in Business (and a few brave men) Podcast on any of your favorite podcast apps, or listen here on Apple Podcast: https://rebrand.ly/BalanceBoldly-ApplePodcasts

~With infinite ripples of love (and) BOLD edification, enjoy the balance of your day,

Naketa Ren Thigpen, Your Balance (and) Relationship Advisor♾️💜💋
