    381: The Power of No

    381: The Power of No

    Embracing 'No': The Key to Living a Life Aligned with Your Values
    Saying no is a powerful tool for setting boundaries and taking back control of your life. In the podcast episode, Master Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh emphasizes the importance of establishing boundaries to prioritize your well-being and align with your values and goals. Here are some key points to consider when it comes to setting boundaries through saying no:
    Prioritizing Your Well-being: By saying no to commitments or requests that do not serve you, you are prioritizing your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Empowering Yourself: Saying no is a way of empowering yourself and demonstrating self-respect. 
    Taking Control of Your Life: Without boundaries, you may feel like you are being run over by the demands and expectations of others. 
    Living in Alignment: Setting boundaries through saying no allows you to live in alignment with your decisions, goals, and values. 
    Building Self-Image: Saying no can positively impact your self-image and self-esteem. 
    Saying no is not just about declining requests; it is a powerful act of self-care and self-empowerment. By setting boundaries through saying no, you can take control of your life, prioritize your well-being, and live in alignment with your values and goals.
    Join Tonya as she delves into the power of saying no, inspired by quotes from Steve Jobs and Paulo Coelho, and explores the importance of listening to our gut feelings and setting boundaries by saying no when necessary to avoid feeling overwhelmed or drained.

    379: What Are You Apologizing For?

    379: What Are You Apologizing For?

    Ditching Apologies: Cultivating Self-Love and Confidence
    Over-apologizing can become such a habit we don't even realize we are repeating the behavior.  School of Self-Image host Tonya Leigh discusses the tendency for women to over-apologize and the impact it can have on their self-esteem and confidence. She explores why women tend to over-apologize, including societal expectations and the desire to please others.
    Tonya emphasizes the importance of recognizing when apologies are unnecessary and offers strategies for breaking the habit, such as replacing "I'm sorry" with "thank you" and focusing on solutions instead of apologies. She encourages women to take ownership of their space, needs, and voice without feeling the need to apologize constantly.
    Tune in to discover how over-apologizing can impact your daily life and learn how to break free from this ingrained behavior.
    Episode Details:
    00:51 Over-apologizing in daily life
    05:32 Apologizing for things beyond control
    10:41 Recognizing over-apologizing habits
    13:44 Swapping "sorry" for "thank you"
    17:52 Refusing to apologize for being you
    Quotes:
    "I'm so sorry I'm crying. I'm like, why are you apologizing for feeling your human emotions? We should never apologize for having emotions."
    "When you apologize for things that aren't your fault, you're basically saying, I'm sorry for having needs. I'm sorry for taking up space. I'm sorry for needing support."
    "You have valuable thoughts and ideas to share. You are deserving of taking up space. You are worthy of support and love."
    "I am all for taking responsibility when it's my responsibility. But I was taking on the world's responsibility when I was over-apologizing."
    "The last suggestion I can offer you is to begin to ask questions with confidence instead of apologizing because sometimes, sorry just becomes a crutch to get someone's attention."
