Welcome to the final episode of our summer series, and we are going to end on a note we all need, showing up when it's hard. Because let's be honest, there are days when you'd rather just disappear, hide under the covers or let self-doubt drive the car. And I've been there more times than you will ever know, but what I've learned is that how we show up when it's hard shapes our self-image more than how we show up when it's easy. So let's talk about it.
Welcome to the School of Self-Image, where personal development meets style. Here's your hostess, master life coach, Tonya Leigh.
Hey, you. I can't believe that this is the last episode of the summer series. It seems like I just announced that I was going to take a sabbatical, and now here we are. The summer is almost done and we are heading into the fall season. And I don't know about you all, but I am excited about the last months of the year. I think this is an opportunity for us to recommit and to finish the year strong and proud no matter what's happened the previous months. And so let's all just decide we're going to make the most of these next months.
Now, a part of what I've been doing over the summer is really thinking about what's next? What's next for me? What's next for the School of Self-Image? And the big question I've been asking is how can I step up? How can I challenge myself? How can I grow? And it's really uncomfortable when the answers start coming and you start having all of these excuses.
But there's one thing that I have been contemplating doing for a while and it's time. And that is this podcast is now going to be on YouTube as a visual version, meaning it's going to be me recording it live in front of a camera. Now, is it uncomfortable? 100%. I have been doing this via audio only for so long, and it comes with many perks. I'm able to take my mic and my computer anywhere and record. I don't even have to get dressed if I don't want to, even though I always feel better when I do. And so deciding to bring this to a visual component is really requiring that I step up my game, my professionalism. It means I'm going to really have to plan ahead. I'm going to have to do things in a different way, and that's always uncomfortable.
But then I think back to my very first podcast and how uncomfortable I was, how awkward it felt. And if you go back and listen to the first one, which was actually the very first of the summer series, you can see I've grown so much with this medium and this platform. And now I'm just choosing to do it all over again by doing video. And I hope more than anything that inspires you. I know that my very first video isn't going to be my very best. I know that I have a lot of growth and opportunity in that area, but at some time we just have to show up. We have to commit to doing what's hard because it's in that hardness that we grow. That's where the opportunity lies. And so come find me over on YouTube a
