Someone recently called me high maintenance, so I decided to devote an entire episode to the

topic and why I am proud of such a title.

Welcome to the School of Self Image, where personal development meets style.

Here's your hostess Master Life Coach, Tanya Lee.

Well, hello, my beautiful friends. How are you? I am doing great and it's been a crazy time for me. My goodness. However, you know, one of the things I tell my clients, I'm like,

listen, no matter what, no matter the goals you achieve, no matter all of the milestones that you have you're still going to be

human and I think one of the mistakes that we make is thinking that there's going to

be a day where we don't have craziness thinking that there's a day when all of our problems are going to go away and we're going to be happy.

And there's going to be rainbows and unicorns and puppies and daisies and diamonds and designer purses whatever it is that you see in your future and so when that day doesn't come because it will never come in this human experience. We often feel disappointed and we feel like

You know, within the school of self-image, we are always thinking about our futures and we are doing the work to be a match for the things that we want, for our goals, for how we want to see ourselves, how we want to feel, and at the same time what I tell women. I'm like listen you have to know

this even in doing all of this work even in reaching your goals life is always going to be about contrast and I don't want any of you going into this process thinking that oh if I do this work I'm going to reach the glory land. I'm going to reach the promised land where everything's okay. There

may be moments in your life where you feel like it's okay for a bit but just

because of the nature of life and the cycle of change

eventually we're going to be thrown out of the promise land and we have to do it all
