What’s your ultimate goal for 2023?

Welcome to today’s episode of the ‘School of Self-Image’ Podcast with host and self-image coach, Tonya Leigh, where personal development meets style. This a go-to podcast for women who desire to transform their self-image so that they can create mind-blowing results in their lives.

It’s been my New Year exercise to choose a word for the year. This has been the way to start a fresh and new year. I’m actually doing this for over a decade now, which I’m really proud of.

Imagine one word that would set the tone. A word to focus on. A word that will motivate you to do better. A word to guide you to stand still in times of challenges and doubts. A word that will light up the direction, no matter where you are in the world. A word is a key to achieving your end goals for the year.

So, I’m inviting you to not just listen in this week’s episode but to choose your word for the year and share it with me today!

Quotes:

“I love a goal because they inform who I need to become in order to reach them. They become my guide to reveal to me what's holding me back, and also to reveal to me my own becoming.”

“Self-image transformation is the study of energetics. We are all a ball of energy, and that energy is attracting certain things and repelling certain things.”

“What you do isn't as important as who you are when you're doing it.”

“When you deeply understand this concept and you apply it to your life, prepare to be delighted. Navigating life without this model will lead you to frustration and hopelessness. As desperately as you want things to be different, you'll keep feeling stuck.”
