Who Do You Want to Be in Hard Times? A Journey of Self-Discovery
In the final episode of the summer series of the School of Self-Image podcast, Tonya Leigh emphasizes the profound impact that showing up during difficult times has on our self-image and personal growth. She asserts that our responses to challenges shape our identity more significantly than our reactions during easier times.
She reflects on her personal experiences with self-doubt and how navigating difficulties shapes our self-image more than our successes in easy times. As the summer comes to a close, Tonya encourages listeners to recommit to their goals and finish the year strong. She also shares her plans for the future of the School of Self-Image, including transitioning the podcast to a visual format on YouTube, embracing the discomfort that comes with growth and change. Tune in for inspiration and motivation to face challenges head-on!

Quotes:
"How we show up when it's hard shapes our self-image more than how we show up when it's easy."
"I have a conversation with the universe, like, hey, listen, this is bigger than me. I'm going to let you handle this one."
"Just doing the opposite of what my mood tells me to do is another way that I get to show up, even when it's hard, in service of who I want to be and in service of the vision that I have for my life."
"When life is hard, when it feels hard, the question is, who do I want to be in this?"
