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? How can you be the best possible you? Bottomline is, people try to crack bad habits and to be the better version of themselves.
In life, it's actually part of nature. 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. I'm not an exemption because it's part of the process toward a better life. Until I helped myself to stand out and succeed. The very reason I created discovered my own self-image.

Quotes: "How you see yourself is determining how you show up, what opportunities you say yes to, and what opportunities you attract." "Habits are creating your entire life… habits are reflecting your self-image back to you, and your self-image determines your habits."
"So when you begin to practice habits with the purpose of changing your self-image, don't be shocked when other amazing things begin to happen in the rest of your life because you're gonna start working to prove yourself true."
"... when you begin to see yourself as that version of you that's in the future, you'll begin to create that future with so much ease and fun and excitement."

| 319: My 2023 Word of the Year | 11 Jan 2023 | 00:22:18 | |
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!
What I Cover In This Episode: 0:43 - Getting ready for Lunar New Year 1:14 - Reasons why you should choose your word for the year 3:03 - Abundant: My first word of the year 4:10 - I'm torn between two words! 5:28 - What is my word for 2023? 7:45 - The concept of the 'Be, do have' model 12:42 - Focus #1: Be extremely mindful of my thoughts and words. 14:23 - Focus #2: Change my working environment. 17:35 - Focus #3: To increase my physical energy. 20:21 - How to create a new version of yourself
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."

Living in the now could be easy for some, but for others is not. So, let me ask you a question ~ When was the last time you try something new? There can be a lot of different ways to answer this. One thing that stands out is if you'll answer it based on what you think or what you feel.
I know, sometimes life could be good or not-so-good. This can either drive you to stop or keep moving forward. But this can also affect how you are living today. Life is simply life itself for you, for us to live.

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."

"Do you know what they're using their brains for to create wealth? 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."

Will you agree if I say love can either be the most beautiful experience or the most painful when being left behind? 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!
What I Cover In This Episode: 1:34 - How to figure out the reason you're leaving 4:17 - Why you should start to take responsibility 6:10 - How to know if a person, situation, or experience belongs in your future 8:29 - The importance of having a niche 10:17 - Pointers #1: Don't second guess yourself 12:26 - Pointers #2: Be ready and be willing to feel the discomfort of leaving 14:29 - Pointers #3: Spend time being grateful for that person or that situation 16:41 - Pointers #4: Make sure to have your own back 17:51 - Pointers #5: Be okay with people being upset and disappointed 18:04 - Pointers #6: Have the time to look toward where you're going 21:24 - What is your greatest act of love
Quotes: "You are your own answer." "Here's the secret, the success is within you. 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."

| 5 Standards To Upgrade Immediately | 02 Nov 2022 | 00:27:01 | |
Don't settle for less. It will always be You VS You!
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.
Most of you can resonate that we compare ourselves to others without even knowing it ~ I wish I can achieve so much at an early young age as her. I wish I have a successful career just like her. I wish I can look more radiant as she is. I wish I didn't settle for less than I deserved. Stop wishing and start doing it for yourself.
I strongly believe that when you set high standards, you can raise your expectation of what's possible. You begin expecting more from yourself, more from your actions, and more from the people around you.
Setting standards is the topic I want to highlight today. Let me share the importance of having standards in your life, how setting standards high can help boost your self-image, and how to be your ideal woman. This works for me and will definitely work for you too!
So, make sure to grab a pen and paper and start upgrading these five standards immediately. All that and more when you listen to this episode!
What I Cover In This Episode: 0:48 - The importance of having standards in life 2:14 - The definition of a standard of what is considered to be normal or average 5:13 - How to change your self-image 6:56 - #1: Set high self-opinion standards 10:34 - #2: Set your style minimums 14:03 - #3: Set how you should do self-care 16:39 - #4: Set what you feed your mind 19:57 - #5: Set your people standards
Quotes: "...life does not give you what you want. It gives you what you expect and what you expect is a reflection of your standards." "One of the stories that it reinforced for myself is that I shouldn't want for too much." "The things around you are affecting you. The things outside of you if you ingest them, become you." "As you raise your standards, as you raise what you expect and what's normal for you, the universe will begin to mirror that back to you."

| 5 Investments That Have Changed My Self-Image | 26 Oct 2022 | 00:35:39 | |
5 Investments That Have Changed My Self-Image Summary:
Invest in yourself, it pays the best interest!
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.
When I talk about investments, probably your first thought would be about money and getting rich. Yes, it is part of taking a leap but there's more than that. Investments may come in different forms ~ one of which is investing with yourself.
Investing in yourself should have a positive impact on boosting confidence and self-esteem. As you equip yourself with new knowledge and skills, you gain more focus for your self-development. This is a great opportunity to know yourself better.
So today, let me share some of the best investments that changed my life, and I hope you can learn a thing or two!
What I Cover In This Episode: 1:43 - Why NOW is the best time to invest in yourself 5:01 - How to deal with scarcity 7:29 - Let's talk about money and investments 10:55 - #1:Invest with coaching 15:16 - #2: Invest with your style 18:17 - #3: Invest with your own space 25:19 - #4: Invest in hiring an assistant 29:13 - #5: Invest in working with a tax and business attorney 33:50 - Join the challenge in The School of Self-Image
Quotes: "We open up when everyone is afraid. We find our peace when everybody's clinging and hanging on out of fear. We let go out of faith. And I will tell you that way of a being helps us to transcend all that's happening in reality and it helps us to create a new reality." "If you're full of scarcity, if you're worried, it's the perfect time to invest in yourself. You are your greatest asset…" "...some of you may argue that you don't need to make investments to change your thoughts and this is true. You don't need to do anything. You can attempt to do this work without investing time, money, or energy into anything. But without investments in yourself, you will slow your progress and you will make it so much harder."

Welcome to today's episode of the 'School of Self-Image' Podcast by 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.
With all the happenings in our lives, the focus is a challenge. We tend to live in a world where people are so much into overthinking and what-ifs. To some extent, our doubts are pulling us away from doing what should be done. Doubts strike our confidence and control our thoughts too. Don't be like this!

So, let's cut the strings attached to your doubts and join me in my upcoming 5-Day Challenge: Worthy Woman Workshop where you will truly understand the power of your mind and how it can impact your life!
But for now, learn some ways on how you can transition your doubts to become the most confident version of yourself!

"I had a lot of doubt, but I kept going. I kept doing the things that doubt told me I shouldn't do." " I want you all to know that when you see me, it's not that I don't ever have doubt. I want you to know that probably a lot of what you're feeling, I feel too. It's part of growing, it's part of evolving, and it's part of changing our identities. That's all normal. The difference is I don't let it stop me. I continue to grow and overcome my doubt instead of letting doubt control me."

| Lessons Learned From My Relationship | 21 Sep 2022 | 00:19:42 | |
Summary: "A good relationship does not happen overnight, but rather entails love, commitment, and choice to keep going." Welcome to today's episode of the 'School of Self-Image' Podcast by Tonya Leigh, where personal development meets style. A go-to podcast for women who desire to transform their self-image so that they can create mind-blowing results in their lives. As a woman myself, I have undergone a couple of breakups, marriage, divorce, and long-term relationships. I know you can resonate that it's not always romantic excitement. There's really no exact formula for a perfect relationship. Find out the things I learned from my past relationships, and how self-improvement has helped me to cope with these things and take it to the other, much brighter side of my life! What I Cover In This Episode:
1:58 - How to embrace that 'honeymoon stage' 2:51 - Tip #1: Don't hide who you are. 5:26 - Tip #2: Having your secret garden is important. 9:48 - Tip #3: Treat your relationship like a business. 12:26 - Tip #4: Understand your partner's love language 14:48 - Tip #5: Put your ego and need to be "right" aside. 16:41 - Tip #6: Make date nights a priority.
Quotations: "Do you know the best thing about relationships? There is always something to learn." "I had made a commitment to myself that I'm not gonna hide any of who I am. I'm gonna put it all out on the table from the beginning so that if I'm not a match with someone we're not gonna waste each other's time. I'm not gonna try to pretend to be someone just so someone likes me. I'm gonna be who I am and let that decide whether that person's attracted to me and hopefully they'll do the same." "I also think it's important that you fill your own cup. If you're always looking to your partner to fill your needs, you're gonna be greatly disappointed. Your partner is not meant to fulfill all of your needs, yet that's the pressure that we put on them. I've done that before in previous relationships and it's just not fair to that person. As it's not fair to you because that person cannot give you everything that you need, nor should they, it is up to you to fill your own cup."

"Everything is about energy. Your self-image is a collection of energy. Your self-image is the result of the thoughts that you have about yourself. Well, every thought you think has energy. And so as you begin to think about yourself differently, you're gonna start to feel differently and that's gonna produce different energy." "When you feel good about yourself, you are willing to go out there and try new things. You're willing to go out there and believe in yourself. You're willing to go out there and be devoted to your dreams. You're willing to show up for them until you create the result you want. When you're feeling good about yourself, everything comes back to you and your self-image." "Style is about so much more than what you wear. It's you designing your thoughts on purpose, and you design your surroundings on purpose. Yes! It is also about how you express your inside to the outside." Useful Resources:

| 407: My Top 5 Style Mistakes (and What They Taught Me) | 18 Sep 2024 | 00:30:56 | |
Dressing for You: How to Break Free from Style Myths and Embrace Authenticity Many individuals find themselves standing in front of a closet full of clothes, yet feeling as though they have nothing to wear. This common frustration often arises from a mindset that prioritizes an ideal body weight or shape over the current self. The belief that one must wait until they achieve a certain physical state before investing in their style is not only limiting but also counterproductive. Tonya Leigh discusses her own experience with what she describbes as the "waiting game." She recalls how she spent years convincing herself that she would invest in her style once she lost a certain amount of weight or reached a specific body shape. This mindset creates a cycle of negativity, where individuals continuously reinforce a narrative rooted in self-doubt and dissatisfaction. As she explores her past and the lessons learned, Tonya encourages listeners to consider their own style choices and what they may have outgrown. Join her for an inspiring discussion on embracing your unique style and stepping into your authentic self.

"Everything you choose is confirming a story about yourself." "Waiting for the perfect body is like waiting for a train that never arrives." "The moment you stand up and you say, I'm no longer waiting to feel beautiful, to live the life that I want to live, that's when you get all of your power back." "Your style isn't defined by the quantity of your clothes, but how well they reflect and serve you." "Style is a skill. Like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and improved upon." "True style is about being comfortable in your own skin and your life, not in someone else's expectations."

| 406: Sauntering Beyond Your Limits | 11 Sep 2024 | 00:26:36 | |
Gentle Persistence: A Journey of Sauntering Towards Success Sauntering beyond your limits is a powerful approach that involves combining ambition with ease, playfulness with purpose, and approaching obstacles with curiosity rather than frustration. In the podcast episode, Tonya Leigh discusses how sauntering involves walking with purpose yet unhurried, being playful yet focused, and curious yet determined. This approach allows individuals to maintain a sense of calm and gratitude while pursuing their goals, even in the face of challenges. By sauntering beyond your limits, you are encouraged to adopt a mindset that values the journey as much as the destination. Instead of constantly pushing yourself to go faster and do more, sauntering allows you to explore your limits with a sense of curiosity and openness. When faced with obstacles, the sauntering approach encourages individuals to stop, assess the situation, and consider alternative paths or solutions. This contrasts with the typical hustle culture that promotes pushing through obstacles without taking the time to reflect or adjust course. Join Tonya as she discusses the power of taking a more relaxed and enjoyable approach to personal development and life. Talking Points: 01:41 - The Concept of Sauntering Quotes: "You know, we live in a world that's always telling us to push harder, go faster, do more. It's all hustle culture and no pain, no gain." "What can I learn from this obstacle? How can I work with it rather than against it?" "But a lot of successful people in the world have become successful because of their playful approaches to overcoming their limitations." "To truly saunter beyond your limits, you must practice detaching from the outcome." "You have the power to saunter beyond your limits. You can be ambitious and enjoy your life. You can make progress without burning out. You're capable of so much more than you know."
