    407: My Top 5 Style Mistakes (and What They Taught Me)

    Dressing for You: How to Break Free from Style Myths and Embrace Authenticity Many individuals find themselves standing in front of a closet full of clothes, yet feeling as though they have nothing to wear. This common frustration often arises from a mindset that prioritizes an ideal body weight or shape over the current self. The belief that one must wait until they achieve a certain physical state before investing in their style is not only limiting but also counterproductive. Tonya Leigh discusses her own experience with what she describbes as the "waiting game." She recalls how she spent years convincing herself that she would invest in her style once she lost a certain amount of weight or reached a specific body shape. This mindset creates a cycle of negativity, where individuals continuously reinforce a narrative rooted in self-doubt and dissatisfaction.  As she explores her past and the lessons learned, Tonya encourages listeners to consider their own style choices and what they may have outgrown.  Join her for an inspiring discussion on embracing your unique style and stepping into your authentic self.   Talking Points: 00:00:37 - Tonya's Morning Motivation and Style Journey 00:01:43 - The Deep Connection Between Style and Self-Image 00:02:59 - The Style Experience: A Unique Approach 00:04:05 - Enrollment for The Style Experience 00:05:08 - Style Mistake #1: The Waiting Game 00:09:23 - Style Mistake #2: The Numbers Game 00:13:25 - Style Mistake #3: The Label Trap 00:18:25 - Style Mistake #4: Trapped by a Self-Image 00:22:40 - Style Mistake #5: The Knowledge Gap 00:28:18 - Conclusion: Embrace Your Style Journey Quotes: "Style may seem superficial on the surface, but in reality, it's so deep." "Everything you choose is confirming a story about yourself." "Waiting for the perfect body is like waiting for a train that never arrives." "The moment you stand up and you say, I'm no longer waiting to feel beautiful, to live the life that I want to live, that's when you get all of your power back." "Your style isn't defined by the quantity of your clothes, but how well they reflect and serve you." "Style is a skill. Like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and improved upon." "True style is about being comfortable in your own skin and your life, not in someone else's expectations."   Useful  Resources: Join the 5 Day Style Challenge: https://schoolofselfimage.com/stylechallenge/  Join the Membership: https://schoolofselfimage.com/join FREE Download: https://schoolofselfimage.com/self-image-manifesto/ Sign up for the Weekly Edit: http://schoolofselfimage.com/edit   Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh: Instagram: @schoolofselfimage Website: https://schoolofselfimage.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetonyaleigh   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TonyaLeighOfficial

    406: Sauntering Beyond Your Limits

    Gentle Persistence: A Journey of Sauntering Towards Success Sauntering beyond your limits is a powerful approach that involves combining ambition with ease, playfulness with purpose, and approaching obstacles with curiosity rather than frustration. In the podcast episode, Tonya Leigh discusses how sauntering involves walking with purpose yet unhurried, being playful yet focused, and curious yet determined. This approach allows individuals to maintain a sense of calm and gratitude while pursuing their goals, even in the face of challenges. By sauntering beyond your limits, you are encouraged to adopt a mindset that values the journey as much as the destination. Instead of constantly pushing yourself to go faster and do more, sauntering allows you to explore your limits with a sense of curiosity and openness. When faced with obstacles, the sauntering approach encourages individuals to stop, assess the situation, and consider alternative paths or solutions. This contrasts with the typical hustle culture that promotes pushing through obstacles without taking the time to reflect or adjust course. Join Tonya as she discusses the power of taking a more relaxed and enjoyable approach to personal development and life. Talking Points: 01:41 - The Concept of Sauntering 02:24 - Visualization Exercise 03:17 - Sprinting vs. Sauntering 05:02 - Curiosity Over Frustration 06:28 - Expanding Limits 07:43 - Playful Exploration 08:46 - Creative Problem Solving 11:02 - Detaching from the Outcome 16:02 - Lessons from Nature 20:36 - Micro-Adventures 22:02 - Style Challenge  Quotes: "You know, we live in a world that's always telling us to push harder, go faster, do more. It's all hustle culture and no pain, no gain." "What can I learn from this obstacle? How can I work with it rather than against it?" "But a lot of successful people in the world have become successful because of their playful approaches to overcoming their limitations." "To truly saunter beyond your limits, you must practice detaching from the outcome." "You have the power to saunter beyond your limits. You can be ambitious and enjoy your life. You can make progress without burning out. You're capable of so much more than you know."

    405: 5 Life Lessons Learned from Interior Design

    Interior Design for the Soul: 5 Life Lessons to Elevate Your Self-Image One crucial aspect of embracing contrast in life is recognizing and integrating all facets of oneself, including the shadow side. Tonya Leigh explores the significance of embracing contrast in interior design and how it can be applied to life. Just as in design, where contrasting elements can add depth and richness, embracing the diverse aspects of our personalities enables us to explore neglected or denied facets of ourselves, fostering personal growth and self-acceptance. Tonya stresses the concept of the shadow side, a term introduced by psychologist Carl Jung, which refers to the darker, less desirable aspects of our personalities that we often try to conceal or suppress. She underscores the importance of not only showcasing our positive traits but also acknowledging and accepting the parts of ourselves that may not always be bright and cheerful. Tune in to explore the parallels between interior design choices and self-image transformation. Talking Points: 00:52 - Chaotic House and Podcast Recording 01:45 - Interior Design Lessons for Life 02:06 - First Impressions and Self-Image 03:09 - Designing Your Environment for Self-Image 04:40 - Creative Brief and Future Vision 06:10 - Curating Elements of Life 07:04 - Intentional Curation Beyond Physical Spaces 08:19 - Five Key Interior Design Principles 09:12 - Lesson 1: Embrace Contrast 13:20 - Lesson 2: Create Focal Points 19:15 - Lesson 3: Functionality is Essential 25:00 - Lesson 4: Embrace White Space 31:07 - Lesson 5: Don't Be Afraid of Making Mistakes 37:02 - Ongoing Process of Life Design 38:40 - Conclusion and Application 38:50 - Invitation to Soul Style Quiz Quotes:  "Just as we thoughtfully curate our living spaces, we can intentionally design our lives to reflect our truest selves and support our personal growth." "The key is to recognize that these contrasts aren't contradictions. They are complementary aspects of your whole self."  "We try to be good at so many different things versus really focusing and harnessing on the things that we're naturally good at." "Remember, just as white space and design allows important elements to stand out, creating space in your life allows priorities to shine through very clearly."
