How to Become the Leading Lady of Your Life



Host Tonya Leigh emphasizes a powerful truth: you are both the writer and the leading lady of your life. This means that, regardless of your past conditioning or the opinions of others, you can rewrite your life script at any moment.


Many of us have been handed scripts from a young age that dictate how we should behave, think, and even feel. These scripts often stem from societal expectations, family beliefs, and cultural norms. Over time, we may have recited these scripts so frequently that they feel like our true selves. However, Tonya reminds us that these scripts are not fixed; they are merely options we have chosen to act out.


This episode encourages you to dive deep into the idea of acting out your script and exploring the possibilities that come with embracing change. With the summer series winding down, Tonya also hints at exciting developments on the horizon, promising growth and transformation both for herself and her audience. Tune in to discover how to realign your life with the story you truly want to live.

Episode Transcript:




















Welcome back to the School of Self-Image Podcast Summer Series where we are revisiting some of our most loved episodes from the past. So whether you're a poolside, or maybe you're still road tripping, or just enjoying the last bits of summer, these episodes are your invitation to reflect, realign and reimagine what's possible.


And hey, listen, if you haven't already, be sure to grab the podcast listener guide. You can go to schoolofselfimage.com/guide. It is the perfect companion to this series and beyond where we guide you through the episodes that will support you most and wherever you are on your journey.


Now, today's episode is a powerful one. It's all about acting out your script. Because here's the truth, you are both the writer and a leading lady of your life. If you don't like the story that you're living, it's time to write a new one, so let's dive in.


Welcome to the School of Self-Image, where personal development meets style. Here's your hostess, master life coach, Tonya Leigh.


Oh my goodness, how are you? It feels like forever since I recorded an intro because I batched the previous ones, and I realized we are winding down the Summer Series. That's right. I think we've got two more and then I've got something exciting for you. Can't tell you yet, I'll tell you soon, but we are shaking things up around here. We are doing things that we haven't done before. I am stepping out of my comfort zone for real, and I'm really excited about the growth that is in it for me, so stay tuned. Something exciting is coming soon.


But for today I am going to be sharing a previous podcast on acting out your script. You see, every day, we are acting out a story. And oftentimes, we are acting out a story that was written by other people that we've just acted for so long that we feel like it's us, but it's all optional. That's what I want you to know. Every single bit of what you are thinking, feeling, and doing right now is optional. It doesn't matter if you've been this way for as long as you can remember, you can change, you can write a new script and you can begin to act that out and you'll create very different results.


Now, what happens when we begin to act out a new script is that the people that have known you as the performer of your older script, they are going to have things to say. They're going to most likely remind you of who you've been. They're going to feel confused. They are going to maybe push back. And I want you all to know, that's just part of the process. That's on them. I have changed my life and my self-image so many times and gone through this process of people saying, "Who do you think you are? You know you can't do that. You know you can't be that way. You know you can't think like that."
