Selfish: Permission to Pause, Live, Love and Laugh Your Way to Joy

by Naketa Ren Thigpen

It’s time to redefine… Selfish women get the life they want… Are you exhausted from work/life burnout? Do you lack balance, or does love always seem to pass you by no matter how hard you try to connect? Maybe it’s time to get Selfish… Naketa Ren Thigpen, the #1 Balance and Relationship Advisor in the World, presents a book for ambitious women everywhere… In Selfish, Naketa shares her own deeply personal experiences as an ambitious woman who battled dysfunction, trauma, abandonment, and toxic relationships… All while growing a family, career, global business, and re-igniting the sparks in her marriage. Naketa guides you along her journey, and shares how you can move from breakdown to breakthrough. After reading this book, you • Change the conversation. Redefine the terms used to make so many women play small, give birth to your biggest dream, and create your joy! • End ‘over-giving’. Quit spreading yourself too thin, and focus on the relationships that really matter. • Stop believing in false narratives that hold you back, diminish intimacy, and keep you stuck in survival mode. • Break the pattern… Re-script disruptive cycles of unhealthy, toxic and energy draining ‘situationships’ that bind your brilliance. Selfish isn't a license to be insensitive, egoistic nor inhumane. It’s a movement that gives you permission to pause, live, love and laugh through your pain, and find your way to joy. A necessary remedy to over-giving and cyclical unhealthy relationships. Learning to get a little selfish is the missing ingredient to holistic self-care and improving mental wellness. You'll gain access to hope, healing, and victory, and shatter the cycles of shame and guilt that are keeping you from the life you deserve…

Naketa has a unique way of letting her readers know that it is okay to 'Be Still' while planting a seed of hope and redemption. Selfish planted seeds to continue to deepen my connection with myself (centered with God), trust my gut and to dive deeper in understanding my purpose.
This is a 'Ready-Set-Go' kind of book. It puts you on the 'Start Line' and once you finish the last page...It's a Go! Run the race...you're not chasing a thing, you're chasing YOUR purpose and peace!
