School of Self-Image

Enclosed cognition is the idea that the clothes we wear can influence our thoughts, emotions, and behavior by triggering certain associations and expectations that we have with those clothes. By using clothing to create associations and shape our self-image, we can influence how we see ourselves, think, feel, and behave. This can also impact how others perceive us and the narrative that is built around us. Changing our style can lead to significant changes in our lives, as it is all interconnected. Therefore, it is important to ask ourselves what emotions and beliefs we want to cultivate about ourselves and choose our clothes accordingly. This concept is a core pillar within the school of self-image. In this podcast episode, Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh, discusses how we can control the narrative of how we want to be perceived through our clothing and style choices. Enclosed cognition suggests that our clothes can trigger certain associations and expectations. By choosing clothes that align with our desired self-image, we can cultivate beliefs about ourselves and behave accordingly. Tonya emphasizes the importance of making associations between ourselves and our clothes first, before considering how others may perceive us. She also shares personal experiences of how her style choices have led people to associate her with certain places or qualities. This episode highlights the power of using clothing to transform our self-image and behavior. Timestamps: [00:01:40] Enclosed cognition and clothing. [00:05:11] Personal style.

In this episode, Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh emphasizes the importance of shaping our surroundings to change our thoughts and self-image. She believes that merely thinking our way to a better life is not enough because there are too many factors involved, such as triggers and trauma. Therefore, she encourages her listeners to change their surroundings to give themselves a fighting chance. This includes changing what we see in the mirror every day, as the reflection tells us a story about ourselves. Tonya discusses the five signs that it's time for a closet cleanse. The first sign is that you have a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear. This means that you have a lot of items in your closet, but you don't feel confident or comfortable in any of them. The second sign is that you're holding onto clothes that are outdated or no longer fit your current style. The third sign is that your clothes don't fit properly, either because they're too small or too big. The fourth sign is that you have evolved as a person, but your closet hasn't kept up with your changes. This means that you may have different style preferences or body shape than you did in the past. The fifth and final sign is that you feel overwhelmed or stressed when you look in your closet. This could be because you have too many options or because you don't have a clear sense of what you want your style to be. Overall, the host emphasizes the importance of regularly cleansing your closet to ensure that you have a wardrobe that reflects your current style and makes you feel confident and comfortable. Furthermore, the host discusses the dangers of going unconscious and overstuffing our closets. She compares it to overeating to soothe ourselves and buy more to solve our problems. When we don't stop and assess our habits and behaviors, we can accumulate so many things that our closets become too full, and we can't find anything. Tonya believes that cleaning out our closets is a symbolic gesture to the universe that we're ready for change and that it's essential to stop and assess our habits and behaviors to avoid overstuffing our closets and our lives. [00:00:00] Closet Cleanse Signs. [00:08:45] What Your Closet Says About You. [00:13:23] Personal style and wardrobe. [00:18:05] Embracing empty spaces. [00:25:30] Style for reinventing identity. [00:27:40] Transforming your self-image. Quotes: Because there's nothing healthy about being caught up in a cycle of self-loathing and frustration with your body and really being at war with yourself. I got rid of 50% of my clothes. And there it was, there she was, just like half full, lots of space, which to me represented space for introspection, space for reinvention, space for a future. But the question becomes, have you taken time to really get to know yourself? Know yourself on the inside and the outside. I am worthy. I deserve beautiful things. I love taking care of the body I have right now.

She shares her own experience of using style to change her identity from a full-time nurse to a successful business owner.

She also discusses the importance of finding joy and pleasure in life, rather than constantly focusing on dieting and weight loss. Additionally, Tonya mentions that changing one's style and wardrobe can be a helpful tool in reinventing oneself and creating a new identity. [00:03:51] Becoming a slim woman.

Tonya Leigh has set a goal to assist 5,000 women in creating their "after" and documenting the process. She considers the reviews left by listeners on iTunes as a form of "after" because they share how the podcast has impacted their lives. The host expresses gratitude towards the listeners who have left a review and encourages others who have benefited from the podcast to do the same. In this episode, the concept of be actions versus outcome actions is discussed in detail. Tonya explains that most people struggle to achieve their goals because they focus solely on the outcome they want, rather than the person they need to become to achieve that goal. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on one's identity or "being" rather than just the outcome or "getting." The host gives examples from her own life, such as struggling with weight loss and money, where she would take outcome actions such as going on a diet or trying to work out, but would ultimately sabotage herself and go back to her old state of being. She realized she needed to focus on becoming the person she wanted to become, rather than just achieving the outcome. By focusing on 'be actions', the outcome will become effortless, and once the outcome is achieved, it will be easier to sustain because the person's identity has already changed to match what they want. By focusing on creating small wins and little bits of evidence every day that she is a fit woman, the host is able to shift her focus from the outcome to her self-image. She creates new neural pathways that confirm her new identity, and as a result, her outcomes change. Tonya emphasizes that changing one's identity is the key to achieving desired outcomes, not the other way around. [00:02:25] Be actions vs. outcome actions. [00:05:02] Overcoming limiting beliefs. [00:08:45] Changing identity for effortless outcome. Quotes: When I think about myself having a fit body, then who is she? How does she identify? What is her self-image? We create our extraordinary goal, which is the outcome that we want. But then we look at who do we need to become to achieve that goal, to achieve that outcome. The reason why the majority of people struggle in achieving their goals is because they are taking action for an outcome versus taking action for a new state of being. We focus on changing our identity so that the outcome literally becomes effortless.

She encourages listeners to be the source of charm in the lives of others and to make everyone they touch feel lucky for crossing paths with them. Tanya also shares some anecdotes from her personal life, including hosting family and training for her first pickleball tournament. Finally, she reminds listeners that it's the little things in everyday life that can bring the most joy. [00:03:35] Living a charmed life. [00:04:33] The meaning of 'charm'. [00:06:20] SOSI South. [00:13:01] Being a Giver, not a taker. [00:16:51] Impress yourself. [00:21:13] Stop focusing on the unattractive. [00:25:03] Don't sweat the small stuff. [00:29:29] Slowing down for a charmed life. Quotes: Charm means the power of giving delight or arousing admiration to achieve something as if by magic. Life gives to the giver and takes from the taker. Live to impress yourself. Another thing to do if you want to live a charmed life is to unplug from the unattractive. Charm and complaining don't go together. But the other beautiful thing about slowing down is that you begin to realize that life can only be as beautiful as you make this moment."

My mom did the best with what she had and she really taught me a beautiful lesson that I didn't realize was so important until later when I noticed that a lot of people around me had a lot of fear around using their best and for me I was like this is just what we do. There was a level of expectation as to how you treated each other and now I realize it's one of the things that I appreciate about the French culture. I didn't realize it at the time but ma'am and sir come from the French madame and monsieur. There is a level of civility and respect for one another and how you communicate and how you address people, how you talk and I think that is a beautiful thing. Quite honestly, it's missing in a large portion of our society today.

We must be willing to feel the discomfort of change and the discomfort of letting go of familiar emotions. We must believe in ourselves and our abilities to succeed. We must be sold on ourselves.

In this episode of the School of Self-Image podcast, host Tonya Leigh discusses the value of personal opinions. She starts by encouraging listeners to join the School of Self-Image membership program. She then mentions her own obsessions, including pickleball and the world of style. Tonya talks about how many of us struggle with valuing our own opinions and conforming to society's expectations. She shares tips for building confidence and believing in our own opinions, including understanding our values and setting boundaries.

Quotes: I am loving learning all the things about color and scale. And it's very similar to styling yourself. It's just taking a lot of those same principles and applying them to your home. I was thinking about why is it that we don't value our own opinion. Why is it that we ask other people their opinion and value it over our own? And I'm really curious about what you think. What is your opinion about this? And we began to just be a sponge for everybody else's opinions without being encouraged to come up with our own. And that is exactly why when clients come to me and they'll ask me a question, I will be like, I don't know, you tell me, what do you think?

"Overcome the Fear of Being Seen: A Guide to Embodying Your Queen Energy". SUMMARY Tonya Leigh is a master life coach and the host of the School of Self-Image podcast. In this episode, she is discussing the importance of having the courage to be seen. Courage is an important quality to cultivate in order to be successful in life. This is why self-image work is so important. It involves seeing yourself as worthy, capable and deserving, and then having the courage to back this up with action. This is why the School of Self-Image is offering a five day workshop, where participants will learn valuable things and will be taught in a new way. It's a great opportunity to bring friends, family and confidants along. During the episode, Ambrose Red Moon's quote about courage is discussed, which states that courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. This is a useful reminder when it comes to overcoming the fear of being seen, which is a common fear for many people. In this conversation, Tonya discusses the fear of being seen and the reasons why people may be afraid of this. The fear of judgement, rejection, and failure, as well as cultural norms and trauma that may have been experienced when being seen. Tonya also talks about how the majority of the world is actually rooting for people to be seen, and encourages them to take up space and express themselves. The key takeaway from this conversation is that although it may be scary to be seen, it is worth it to live a full, authentic and bold life. What We Cover in This Episode: 0:00:00 Stepping Into Your Queen Energy 0:01:50 Overcoming the Fear of Being Seen 0:04:27 Self-Discovery and Awareness 0:06:12 Overcoming Fear and Embracing Your Authentic Self 0:13:23 Reflections on Courage and Self-Judgment 0:15:48 Fear of Being Judged: How to Embrace Courage and Reach Extraordinary Goals" 0:17:39 A Challenge for the Week Quotes: Would you rather be like the person who's on stage giving it their all or the person up in the stands criticizing? Because, let's face it, if you've been fearing being seen for years, maybe even decades, it's not going to go away overnight. A big life requires that you feel big emotions. So this means that the courage to be seen is not about not fearing it. To me, the other reason why you may be afraid of being seen is because of cultural norms. It's a lot of self discovery and awareness and overcoming fear. And one of the common fears that I see when women start to dress differently is that they're so afraid of getting attention because their entire lives, they've dressed to avoid that attention, because attention is scary. I'm talking about being seen for who you are. Have you ever had that person in your life who just sees you? You know that they see who you really are, and there's so much love and celebration and acceptance of that. It's a beautiful thing.

"Unleash Your Inner Queen: 3 Crown Jewels of Queen Energy" SUMMARY In this episode, Tonya Leigh discusses the three crown jewels of Queen Energy - ways of being and attitudes that create Queen energy. The first crown jewel is taking commitments to oneself seriously. The second crown jewel is self-care. The third crown jewel is that of an attitude of acceptance. A queen is someone who takes their commitments to themselves seriously and does not shy away from the discomfort of making changes in order to become a powerful leader of their own life. A queen also has a 'red velvet rope'; they know how to set boundaries and limit access to their life. This can mean saying no to people and events they don't want to participate in. A queen is someone who sets high standards for themselves and respects their own needs and wants. They understand that in order to achieve their goals, they must make sacrifices and push through the discomfort of change. This conversation is about why it is important to set boundaries for yourself in order to be the queen of your life. What we cover in this episode: 0:00:00 "The Three Crown Jewels of Queen Energy: Taking Your Commitments to Yourself Seriously" 0:04:05 Building Trust with Yourself 0:07:48 Becoming a Queen: Crown Jewels 1 & 2 0:10:09 "The Power of the Red Velvet Rope: Setting Boundaries and Becoming a Queen of Your Life" 0:14:54 Exploring Queen Energy: Accepting Yourself Fully to Create Results and Feel Better 0:17:12 Accepting Yourself: A Conversation on How to Embrace Your Humanness and Move Forward in Life 0:20:30 "The Three Jewels of Queen Energy: Taking Commitments to Yourself Seriously, Creating Boundaries, and Accepting Yourself Fully" Quotes: We have to be willing to have our own backs. And to me, that is the epitome of Queen Energy. A queen takes her commitments to herself seriously. Anything that you do that's unfamiliar is difficult. In the beginning, our brain wants to fight the unfamiliar because the brain doesn't trust it. And so part of being a queen, and this is not even one of the crown jewels, but it encompasses all of this, is that you must be willing to feel discomfort in order to change and step up and be the powerful leader of your own life. So that is crown jewel number one. And every time you make a commitment to yourself and you don't show up for it, you are breaking trust with yourself.

"Fostering a Positive Public Image Through Developing Self-Image" SUMMARY In this episode, host Tonya Leigh discusses the importance of self-image over public image. She is recording from a destination location she has dreamed of visiting for 15 years: The Maldives. Between snorkeling in an aquarium-like environment every day and playing pickleball with her friends, Tonya is unplugging from technology to enjoy the moment and treat herself like a queen. Inspired and rested, Tonya will be hosting a five-day workshop soon called the Royal Treatment. Stay tuned for more information coming soon. So what's the difference between self-image and public image? Aligning the two can create extraordinary results. Self-image refers to how a person perceives and sees themselves, including their thoughts, appearance, personality, and capabilities. Public image, on the other hand, is related to how one is perceived by the external world and is shaped by one's self-image. This conversation explores self-image, the mental picture you have of yourself, and includes your strengths, weaknesses, and personal characteristics. This is shaped by your experiences, beliefs, and values. Tonya also explores public image, how other people perceive you, and is shaped by your behaviors, actions, and interactions. Although both are important, without a strong self-image, true happiness, and well-being can't be achieved. When working on your public image, it is important to do it in service of who you are becoming, not just to impress others. Doing this work in service of yourself, focusing on your self-image first, will have a positive impact on your public image. What we cover in this episode: 0:00:00 Guess where I am? 0:01:06 Dreaming of the Maldives and Experiencing the Royal Treatment 0:03:17 Exploring the Difference Between Self Image and Public Image 0:11:44 The Impact of Positive Self Image on Public Image 0:13:43 Aligning Your Self Image with Your Public Image Quotes: Without a positive self-image, you are going to suffer. It doesn't matter how great your public image is. If how you see yourself isn't compassionate and loving and kind and positive, it is going to impact your sense of well being, which is why we always have to bring it back to how we see ourselves. It's so hard to keep up a positive public image when your self-image is so negative. It's hard to create what you want unless you're willing to change your self-image to allow for that result. So I will always vote for self-image as being more important than public image. Your public image, on the other hand, refers to how other people perceive you as an individual. It's the external representation that you want to present to others and it's the story that other people have about you and it is shaped by your behaviors, your actions, and the way you interact with other people.

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."

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!

"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.

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."

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.

"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.

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.

"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."

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."

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.

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."

"Believe it or not, a true style journey will give that to you because before you can express something intentionally, you have to know who you are that's wanting to be expressed." "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."

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. 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."

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!

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."

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!

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."

" 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.

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: 0:28 - Let's talk about relationships 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."

You are telling your brain, 'Hey, listen, this is who we're becoming.' We are taking steps in that direction versus standing still and reconfirming the self that keeps us stuck in so many patterns.." "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."
