329: What Your Home Reveals About You
Your home is a reflection of the stage or even the state of mind you are in.     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 is a go-to podcast for women who desire to transform their self-image so that they can create mind-blowing results in their lives.   Do you agree that your home is a reflection of who you are? Because I strongly believe that your home represents and reveals so much about a person, even their personality. The way you decorate your home, the colors you choose, and the furnishings you choose based on your preferences, speak volumes about you.   The things you display such as photographs or mementos that connect to your values and beliefs show what is most important to you. And what about your experiences? Do you travel? Do you cherish those memories and places?  Anyone who enters your home will know this instantly depending on what they see.  Is your home calm, cluttered,  busy, or colorful? What does your home reveal about you?  Over the years of moving from one place to another, I've had so many where I have learned so much about someone just by living for a time in their space. Your home is part of your self-image, even without you knowing it. If you’re curious to know more about what your home reveals about you, head over and listen to this week’s episode!  What I Cover In This Episode: 0:00 - Intro 1:21 - Tips for getting things done 2:15 - What does ‘home mean to you’? 6:05 - How is Tonya Leigh living her life? 10:44 - What is your home saying about you? 14:14 - My top 4 values 15:38 - What is your version of your own ‘ideal wealthy home’? 21:44 - How to be a woman for the future? 23:23 - Reasons why your home is a great reflection of who you are Quotes:   “I often say your inner world creates your outer world. So, how you think and feel impacts the choices that you make, and those choices create results equal to your outer world. Everything that's around your environment, your home, the people you hang out with impact your inner world.”   “I'm a big advocate of changing your outer world to help you change your inner one. One of the ways that we can do that is to focus on elevating, transforming, and possibly even changing our home ~ the place that we live because our home reveals so much about us.”   “When we're looking at our homes, it tells a big meta-story about us. It can tell us our fears. It can tell us about our darkest secrets. It can tell us about our personality, and our dreams. Our house can reveal so much. It also offers us a snapshot of what's going on within us at this moment.”   “I look around at the things that I've chosen to have.  Over the next year as we live here, it's actually really telling. That's the beauty of a home. It will reveal to you what's important. It will reveal to you what your values are. It will reveal to you maybe even your dreams and your fears.”   “No matter the state of your home right now, you are an amazing, beautiful woman. So what your home is revealing about you is simply your thought and about your environment, because at the end of the day, that's our whole experience, what we think about everything.” Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto   Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

328: Overcoming Superwoman Syndrome
Overcome Superwoman Syndrome: Prioritize, Say No and Get Help   SUMMARY    This episode is dedicated to all the superwomen out there who are trying to do it all and be it all. Host Tonya Leigh explains how many women find themselves in the predicament of trying to fulfill multiple roles such as being a career woman, mother, wife, friend, daughter and more while also trying to maintain high standards in each role. This is referred to as the Superwoman Syndrome, a term coined in the 1980s by Dr. Marjorie Hansen Chavez in her book The Superwoman Syndrome. Women may feel guilty or ashamed if they cannot meet their own expectations and feel like they need to do and be everything to everyone. The Superwoman Syndrome is a condition which leads to burnout, stress, and other negative health outcomes. People afflicted with the syndrome are not prioritizing their self care, playing, or resting, as they are too busy trying to live up to the expectations of others. To get out of the toxic cycle of the Superwoman Syndrome, one must understand the root of the fear and deal with it. Additionally, they must be willing to say no to things that are not important to them in order to help them focus on their most important priorities. Finally, they must acknowledge that this may mean disappointing some people, but it is necessary in order to take control of one's life.   Here  is what we cover in this episode:    0:00:00   Exploring the Superwoman Syndrome: A Conversation with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh   0:02:54   Understanding the Causes and Consequences of Superwoman Syndrome   0:04:34   Facing the Fear of Not Being Good Enough   0:09:25   Prioritizing and Saying No   0:13:37   Self Care, Saying No, and Being Imperfect   0:15:38   Tips for Entrepreneurs   0:17:57   The Benefits of Hiring Help:  Taking Advantage of Available Resources   Quotes:    There's a thing where you can get a dog sitter. There are all these amazing apps with help at your fingertips, and yet a lot of you refuse to take advantage of it. Why? Why aren't you getting the help that you need?    To overcome superwoman syndrome, you're going to have to be willing to be imperfect and to realize that it's a beautiful thing. Because that means you've accepted yourself as you are. And you're showing up in your most expansive self. And expansive does not mean perfect. Expansive means true.    I'm not good enough, and I'm afraid of being found out. So let me put on this facade and pretend that I am perfect. This is what superwomen do.    Even when you make mistakes, even when you fail, even when it's not all buttoned up and buttoned up and tidy, you're still extraordinary. You're still amazing.   Let me tell you all, resentment is a telltale sign that you may be suffering from Superwoman Syndrome. So pay attention if you're feeling resentful or angry or frustrated on a daily basis. Those are three emotions that often indicate that you have this syndrome.    Stay connected!   FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

327: Pain Pushes (AKA The Power of Being Fed Up)
"Unlock Your Potential With A Pain Push - Your Guide To Personal Development Through Style & Self-Image" SUMMARY    In this episode of The School of Self-Image, the host Tonya Leigh talks about the concept of a pain push, which is a way of motivating yourself to take action and achieve your goals, even when you feel like you're sabotaging your own efforts. She explains that it's important to recognize what your pain points are, and use them as your motivators.    In this conversation, Tonya reflects on a moment in her life when she hit rock bottom and was fed up with her own behavior. She calls it a pain push and views it as a blessing in disguise that was the catalyst to make big changes in her life.    TIMESTAMPS    0:00:01   Episode #1: Harnessing the Power of a Pain Push to Take Action and Achieve Your Goals   0:02:15   "The Power of Being Fed Up: How Pain Can Be a Catalyst for Change"   0:06:03   Reflection on Rock Bottom Moment: A Catalyst for Change   0:08:26   Heading: Exploring the Concept of Pain Pushes Before the Pain   0:10:38   Using Pain as a Motivator: How to Get Moving Towards Your Goals   0:15:17   Exploring the Use of Pain as a Motivator for Change   0:17:05   "Using Pain to Push Yourself Towards Your Goals"   Quotes:   So maybe you want to visualize the pain. If you continue to do what you're currently doing, that's causing you to create results that are painful, that's causing you not to live the life that you know you're here to live and allow yourself to sit in that for a moment.   You have a brilliance within you and I'm simply here to help you figure out what that is.    You can think about something and the brain's like, oh, we're in trouble just from visualizing it and thinking about it. And so knowing this, how can you visualize pain in a way to inspire you to take action?   Sometimes, my friends, it takes a good old pain push to get you going.    Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto Style Experience: schoolofselfimage.com/styleexperience Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ
326: Style Standards

326: Style Standards
Summary:   What is your minimum style standard?  If you don’t know yet, this is the perfect episode ofor you. Setting a standard for yourself in so many areas of your life is important, including your style standard.  Maybe it is lip gloss and mascara before leaving the house, or never wearing sweats.  One of mine is, spoiler alert, hoodies.  Hoodies are great and many women can really rock a great hoodie.   But they just are not my style nor part of my style standard.     Style standards vary widely depending on a number of factors such as cultural norms, personal preferences, and current fashion trends. But your everyday style standard is focused on your expression of YOU. Styling what you wear helps boost confidence and a positive self-image. You want someone to see you, and your style, and know it expresses your unique authentic self.  This is the very reason why I emphasize style and I advocate it.    If you’re curious to know more about how you can start elevating your style standards, be sure to check out The Style Experience with me while you listen to this week’s episode!  What I Cover In This Episode: 0:00 - Intro 0:30 - Little things that count 1:25 - How do I decide what to wear  3:07 - What are my style standards? 3:57 - The importance of consistency 5:09 - The impact of your “I am” statements 6:11 - How to create your style standards 8:34 - How to raise your style standards 9:27 - How style is essential in boosting your confidence and self-respect 12:09 - Reasons why you should consider having your style standards 15:53 - How to define your purpose   Quotes:   “We can use our style and our environment to help us create new feelings. Which is why I'm an advocate of changing our environments. I'm an advocate of changing our style. I'm an advocate of taking action to shake things up. Because it gives you new perspectives. It allows you to access new thoughts. And it's a quick and easy way to shift the energy at the moment.”    “Do you have a set of operating principles that you live by that make it easy to make decisions in terms of how you dress, how you carry yourself, or how you communicate? These sets of operating principles also help you to see yourself in a way that serves you. They help you to elevate your self-image.”   “What my standard is may not be your standard. That's the point of style. Style is to be original to figure out who you want to be and to express that on purpose.”    “So stop being lazy, stop looking like a bum, let's get up, get dressed, and put our best self out to the world. But more importantly, put your best self out there for you.    “You can have one outfit, one pair of shoes, one statement necklace, one bold red lip, one haircut, one pantsuit, one pair of jeans, one jacket, but literally can change your life.” Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto Enroll now in The Style Experience with Tonya Leigh: https://schoolofselfimage.com/the-style-experience/   Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ
325: ROI Of Style

325: ROI Of Style
Uncovering The ROI Of Style   In this episode of School of Self-Image, host and Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh, shares insights about the return on investment (ROI) of style. She shares how she has noticed improvements in her physical and mental health since moving to a new environment and how her friend has seen a tenfold increase in her business as a result of investing in style.    Instead of spending a lot of money on expensive clothing to appear wealthy, the ROI of true style is emotional. It will make the wearer feel abundant, confident, powerful, and great in their own skin. The conversation also discusses how investing in designer items, such as a handbag, can help change the wearer's self-image. It can provide evidence for what they want to believe about themselves and be life-changing. The speaker suggests that action alone isn't enough and that the action needs to be taken with purpose in order to change thoughts about oneself. Finally, the conversation wraps up by discussing how feeling better, more confident, and more empowered will also have an emotional ROI.   What I cover in this episode: 0:00:01 "Exploring the ROI of Style: A Conversation with Tanya Lee" 0:06:32 Exploring the Impact of Style on Our Lives 0:09:44 "The Importance of Taking Care of Yourself: How Our Appearance Affects Our Perception" 0:11:25 The ROI of True Style: Leveraging the Brain to Get a Return and Make Our Lives Better 0:17:26 "The Power of Intentional Dressing: How Investing in Your Style Can Lead to Financial and Emotional Returns" 0:19:48 "The Power of Style: How to Use Attention to Your Advantage" 0:24:11 The Power of Professional Style: How to Elevate Your First Impression and Increase Your Net Worth 0:26:37 "The Power of Elevating Your Status Through Style" 0:28:45 "The Power of Style: How to Make Lasting Impressions and Transform Your Self-Image"   Quotes:  You are trying to increase your net worth. You're wanting to attract quality men. You're wanting to place yourself in quality environments. And therefore, it's important that you match the energy of that which you want. Style has the ability to help you do that. The ROI of style also impacts your first impressions and making a great first impression matters.  So the emotional return on not only discovering your style, because that is a sign that you've taken the time to get to know yourself, that you know what you love and what you don't love, but also how you feel when you put an effort.  A Gucci or Chanel handbag isn't going to change your life unless you change how you see yourself.  Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto Style Experience: schoolofselfimage.com/styleexperience Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

324: What Are Your Clothes Attracting?
"Dress to Attract: Using Style to Influence Your Life Trajectory"   SUMMARY    In this episode of the School of Self Image, host Tonya Lee reports good news for those who have been following her moving drama. Her things arrived and she is grateful. She shares how her mind can work in funny ways, as she was worried she was scammed after reading forums about people who had been scammed by movers. She encourages her community to focus on what they want and not take on other people's stories to avoid being a mess. In the end, her things arrived, in their completeness.   Tonya Leigg recently took on a six-month no shopping challenge and it was inspired by her realization that often when people make more money, they spin out of control and fill their lives with more and more things. She found that what people are really after is a feeling and that buying things does not necessarily create those feelings. She created a Style Experience program to help women get clear on what they want and how they want to show up in the world. In the program, they will engage in virtual style days, coaching calls, and the Style Lounge where the speaker will provide feedback and inspiration. Tonya discusses the importance of clothing and the effect that it can have on how one views themselves and how others see them. Everything is energy, and one's clothes are no different. According to the Law of Attraction, people will be attracted to those with similar dress styles. The speaker used to dress in scrubs and sweatpants to hide her body, but she changed when she discovered the Style Experience, which is a luxurious experience that helps people discover their unique style and how to express it.    What we cover in the episode:    0:00:00   Exploring the Power of Self-Image and Style   0:02:45   Reflection on Moving Day: A Conversation with Fonz and My Mom   0:04:15   The Role of Shopping and Clothes in Our Lives   0:09:28   The Impact of Your Clothes on Your Energy and Attraction   0:11:53   Dressing on Purpose: How Clothing Can Impact Your Mental and Emotional Processes"   0:18:11   The Power of Professional Style: How Dressing for Success Can Impact Your Life   0:19:58   Attracting People and Opportunities Through Your Style   HIGHLIGHTS    I was recently on a podcast with my friend Stacey Bayman. She has a great podcast called Make Money as a Life Coach, and she brought me on to talk about the effective style in our lives. And she was sharing about when she needs to write copy for a sales page or for her programs. She will get dressed up to the nines, because the energy that she feels can be felt, in her words, because everything's energy, you all it's all connected.   There's a term called enclosed cognition, and basically it's a psychological phenomenon that looks at the effects of clothing on your mental and emotional processes. And they've done studies, one being that they put students in a lab coat and compared their grades with students who weren't in a lab coat. And the students in the lab coat scored higher on the test. And it's because the association of a lab coat symbolizes intelligence, power, confidence, and how that impacts how you think.   And the same goes for clothes. Your clothes have an energy that impacts how you see yourself. And so on one level, those clothes are calling forth an action from you. And at the same time, it's attracting opportunities and people that are attracted to that energy. So at the end of the day, the clothes impact your energy. They impact how you see yourself, but also it's impacting how other people see you.   So come and join us at the Style Experience. You can go to schoolofselfimage.com/styleexperience and check out all of the details. So today I have a question for you. What are your clothes attracting? And I want you to sit with that question for a moment and really think about it. Because everything is energy. Everything is attracting certain things to it. It's why certain people gather in certain places. There is an energy there that calls like energy towards it.   We're going to be having virtual style days along with coaching calls. We're going to have the Style Lounge, where I'm giving feedback around style and sharing stylish inspiration. And so if you have not checked this out, it's going to be a very high end, luxurious experience where you are going to elevate how you show up in the world. And you are going to discover your unique style and how to express that, not only in how you dress, but in how you carry yourself and what you choose.   Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto Style Experience: schoolofselfimage.com/styleexperience Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

If you’re listening to this podcast, you know that I’m currently detoxing from shopping. I decided to challenge myself for 6 months. No shopping. Period.    4 months have passed and to tell you honestly, I’m still struggling. I have a bunch of pushback from myself and the people around me. I never really felt the "pressuer" before now. Is it culteral?  It is an addiction?  Is it a comfort or a way to fit in?  I am learning so much from saying no to shopping for six month and learning a lot about myself that I am excited to share.

Yes, you heard that right!  So if you’re up for this challenge and too curious about what it can do in your life, join me and listen to this week’s episode!  What I Cover In This Episode: 0:00 - Intro 0:35 - Life update! 2:30 - Reasons why you should focus on things you have control with 3:20 - What’s God's plan? 3:43 - SOSI: Figuring out what’s working and what’s not for you 7:53 - Takeaway #1: Some of your friends would think you’re crazy. 9:49 - Takeaway #2: Have a plan when you’re experiencing struggles to break a habit. 11:37 - Takeaway #3: Energy is everything. 12:34 - Takeaway #4: The bigger the challenge, the more likely you might fall along the way. 17:01 - Takeaway #5: Some of your spending decisions come from luck and scarcity. 18:31 - Takeaway #6: Keep your why in front of you. 19:38 - Takeaway #7: It feels good to honor your own words and commitment to the future. 21:56 - Takeaway #8: How to separate abundance from spending. 24:15 - Takeaway #9: It gives me time to realize what my future needs are. 25:38 - Takeaway #10: You learn to maximize the things you already have. 26:51 - Takeaway #11: A space for investing and appreciating assets more.

I'm dealing with the things that I can manage and control and letting everything else go because there's nothing I can do about it.”   “When you're in a state of worry, when you're in a state of stress, one of the things that help me is I write everything down that I'm worried about, and I create two lists, on one side, it's my list, and I move things to that side that I can influence, manage, control with my actions.”   “Listen, you all know I love beautiful clothes. I love style. I think the style has the ability to transform your life. However, I also know that we can have excuses and sabotage ourselves in the name of certain things, in the name of style, in the name of money, in the name of whatever.”   “You have to keep your 'why' in front of you.”   “Everybody was shopping, some people were buying things. I was so happy to just look. I did not feel at all. I was missing out. In fact, I felt like I was getting so much because visually I was so just happy. I was also happy knowing, number one, that I was honoring my commitment, even though I saw beautiful things. I was like, ‘Ooh, that looks like me, but not today.’ That felt good just knowing I was honoring my word and my commitment. Then it also felt good to know that I was investing in my future. By not spending money mindlessly, that money is going to exist in my future. Therefore, I'm investing in my future. “   “I think the best way to create your goal is to appreciate where you are right now because that is the energy of your future. You need to be practicing it now. But for me, the abundance that I've been feeling from this no-shopping challenge is about appreciating what I already have.” Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschool YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

And therefore pushing the limit of what's possible for you.” “Let's decide that we're gonna choose extraordinary goals. Goals that demand a new version of us, goals that excite us and scare us all at the same time. Goals that are remarkable and out of the ordinary.”   “Style isn't just about what you wear. Style is how you communicate, how you treat other people, and how you express what is on the inside to the outside.” Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto The School of Self-Image Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh:Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschoolYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

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.   Let’s first define habits! Habits are the small actions you make and the actions you do every day. As we reflect on the past year and set goals for 2023, it works hand-in-hand with change like ~ How can you make yourself better? How can you achieve greater heights?

People are capable to make decisions and perform actions. Well, that’s a fact. And I admit, I had bad habits.  I can proudly say that I’m not away from all that.

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!

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.”  Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto The School of Self-Image Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh:Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschoolYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

314: Takeaways from Slipstream Time Hacking by Benjamin Hardy
How do you like spending your time alone?   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.   Today, I’ll be sharing the key takeaways from the book of Benjamin Hardy, ‘Slipstream Time Hacking.’ It is a self-improvement book that revolves around time, life, mindset, and decisions. Imagine yourself taking control of your life where time is the number one currency and reasons why you should take action.   Time = Money. For Ben, time is the new money. In the book, you will realize the value of time in a very realistic way. Every page has that effect on your life ~ what you do, what you think, and what you know.   So, here I am challenging you to live the life you always wanted to live right now! But before that, listen to this week’s episode to learn ways how to make it possible. What I Cover In This Episode: 0:37 - 2022 Thanksgiving 2:11 - The concept of slipstream 6:32 - Takeaway #1: Measuring life as distance traveled rather than time elapsed. 10:26 - Takeaway #2: A well-lived life is nothing more than a collection of well-lived days. 15:24 - Decision making: speed VS magnitude 16:34 - Takeaway #3: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”-  Parkinson's law  18:44 - The story of Tim and Ben 21:40 - Takeaway #4: Change doesn't have to take a long time, it happens the instant we decide. 25:49 - Takeaway #5:  Time is our only currency.  30:19 - Takeaway #6: Those who become the greatest and go the farthest are highly selective about what they take on. 31:22 Takeaway #7: Most of us engage in far too many priorities. 32:20 - Takeaway #8: Despite turbulence and other conditions, keeping the plane off course. 34:20: Takeaway #9: True commitment can only occur when turning back is no longer an option. 36:15 - Takeaway #10: When you commit to something a hundred percent, all of your future choices are already made no matter how attractive the circumstances. 36:52 - Takeaway #11: Time is sacred in the first few hours of your day. 37:49 - Takeaway #12: Leveraging other people's time, skills and money are essential for getting where you want to go faster. 39:05 - Takeaway #13: We all have invisible doors and the direct proximity that will transport us decades into our best futures. 40:55 - Takeaway #14: You're bound to fumble along the way.  42: 06: Takeaway #15:  When the end of life comes, we leave with nothing but our relationships. Quotes: “I set really big goals for myself.” “If a task is perceived to be unimportant, it will take enormous amounts of time to complete. Conversely, if a task is perceived to be important, it will get done soon. Sometimes immediately depending on how important and urgent the task is.” “... think about how we're spending our time. Are we spending our time on the things that we really want to be spending it on?” “Life in general in our world with limitless options, limitless books to read, limitless clothes to wear, a limitless path to take it is extremely important to be picky.”   Useful Resources: Get a copy of the book: Takeaways from Slipstream Time Hacking by Benjamin HardyFREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto The School of Self-Image Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh:Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschoolYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

And that's been the ultimate gift of gifting myself with wealth. Learning how to think and be a wealthy woman first, learning how to tune in to me instead of plugging into the world, deciding on purpose what I wanna believe about money, my ability to earn it, manage it and grow it.”   Useful Resources: Join our Holiday PartyJoin our CommunityFREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto The School of Self-Image Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschoolYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ

These kinds of experiences are part of one’s life which is inevitable. It’s in our nature to feel and be part of the process. But at the end of the day, it’s still your choice.   Leaving something (or someone) you love is a situation that most of us have experienced in life, right? As I know the emotions and thoughts might be overflowing, but you really have to decide whether to be stuck where you are or make a stand to move forward with your life.   It all comes back to your choice ~ are you gonna be the same version of yourself forever? Or are you gonna leap yourself up, act smart, and accept the situation for good?   So if you’re unsure yet of which one to choose, listen to find out how you can turn this leaving situation into something positive and bright!

As when you have a successful self-image, you can make any niche work.” “Just make sure you're leaving for the right reason. You are leaving so that you can grow and evolve and place yourself in expansive environments. You're not leaving to find something outside of you to fix your feelings.” “You get to decide how you feel no matter where you are. And you can also place yourself in places where it's so much easier to feel the way you want to feel.”    Useful Resources: FREE Download: Self-Image Manifesto The School of Self-Image Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh:Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifecoachschoolYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1RNNnPWpxvq7y7jK5rlOmQ   Want to know what I have learned from recording 300 episodes of my podcast?
