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.
How do you differentiate success from happiness? This happens to be the question I often get to ask myself lately. Your definition today might not be applicable tomorrow or in the next few days. As we try to live in the present, we tend to focus on short-term goals or wants.
Let me break this cycle today by sharing my thoughts about 'wanting what you have.' Take time to pause and take a look at the things you already have. This will guide you to having that content and staying away from shiny little things around you.
Join me for another action-packed episode of living life with gratitude, appreciation, and just positive vibes. Wherever you are right now, I wish you a beautiful Thanksgiving, my gorgeous friends!
What I Cover In This Episode:
1:16 - The concept of 'wanting what you have'
3:20 - Delaying gratification: good or bad?
4:16 - How to live with appreciation
10:48 - My no-spend challenge: I will not buy anything for 6 months!
13:30 - How to practice gratitude
14:20 - Thinking about your future self
Quotes:
"You either have to choose to have big goals in order to be happy, or you have to choose to be happy with where you are right now."
"Nothing will ever be enough. It's always us chasing more, more and more."
"I would love to see gratitude be a lifestyle for all of us."

For me, it took a while to realize the true definition of success in my life. I was in awe of those shiny objects around me, of people telling me what should I be, and trying to fit myself in society. But here am I, sharing my story as I hope you can start to create your own.

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!
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

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!

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."

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!

" 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."

In this world where everyone seems to have an eye on you, you're so conscious to do things perfectly that we tend to forget how to live and enjoy life itself.

"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.

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."
