School of Self-Image

Join us for The Curated Year Workshop when you step inside the School of Self-Image membership: https://schoolofselfimage.com/join There's something in the air this time of year – that collective "Let's coast until January" energy. But I've decided… I'm not coasting. I'm not crawling to the finish line. I am finishing this year strong, walking into the next with confidence, gratitude, sparkle, and a glass of champagne in hand. In this episode, I'm sharing five unexpected ways to close this year with a bang and set yourself up for success in the year ahead. This isn't about hustling. It's about being intentional, focusing on what matters, and deciding who you want to become. Because the energy you close the year with is the same energy you carry into the next one. Here's what we cover: • Why how you finish the year determines the energy you bring into the next one • The power of wrapping up loose ends and honoring your original intentions • How deepening relationships through gratitude strengthens connection and joy • Ways to take exquisite care of your body – not from pressure, but from self-respect • The freedom and creativity that come from doing less and focusing on what matters • How to curate your year with reflection, intention, and a conscious close to the season Did you enjoy this episode?

Investing in Yourself: How Your Choices Shape Your Self-Image Self-image is essentially how we perceive ourselves, shaped by our thoughts, beliefs, and experiences. Tonya Leigh explores the profound connection between the investments we make—whether in time, money, or energy—and the evolution of our self-image. This exploration is particularly relevant for women seeking to elevate their self-perception and overall life experience.  Tonya emphasizes that our self-image acts as a lens through which we view our capabilities and potential. When we invest in ourselves, we are not merely acquiring things; we are affirming our worth and expanding our identity. She emphasizes the importance of the energy behind our investments, highlighting that buying from a place of fear or scarcity often leads to disappointment. Instead, she encourages listeners to invest from a mindset of deserving and self-worth, exemplified by her own experience purchasing a designer handbag as a step towards embracing a new identity.  Tune in to discover how your choices can empower your personal growth and self-image.

The Thought Closet: Discovering the Power of Intentional Thinking Just like a wardrobe, we have a "thought wardrobe" filled with thoughts we wear daily. It's essential to evaluate whether these thoughts serve us well or need to be replaced.
