Summary
Creating Intentional Self-Image Events for Personal Growth
Self-image events play a crucial role in shaping our identities, as discussed in the podcast episode. These events can be intentional or unexpected, and reflecting on both types from our past is essential for personal growth and self-awareness.
Intentional self-image events are experiences or activities that we consciously choose with the purpose of changing our self-image and identity. By setting extraordinary goals and immersing ourselves in new environments, we challenge our existing beliefs, push beyond personal boundaries, and facilitate the development of new skills and perspectives. These intentional events are designed to push us out of our comfort zones and help us evolve into a new way of being in the world. Embracing intentional self-image events can be a catalyst for personal development and lead to a more empowered and fulfilling life.
Join in to explore how moments, both intentional and unexpected, shape our identities and help us evolve personally.

Quotes:
"Life is about all of it. And I've just come to the understanding that embracing that is the secret to true fulfillment."
"I always felt like I was sinning and I was going to go straight to hell."
"The scared little girl in me trying to protect herself from the world. But as the adult me, I've got me."
"This is too good to be true. This surely isn't going to work out. This isn't as good as it seems to be."
"There's going to be so much cognitive dissonance between your beliefs about yourself and your actions."
"When I started to look for the commonalities, it lessened the cognitive dissonance, which allowed me to entertain saying yes to this opportunity that would shape my self-image in a whole different way."

| 0:00.0 | Have you ever wondered how certain experiences can profoundly impact the way you see yourself and the world around you? |
| 0:08.0 | Well, that's what we're talking about in today's podcast. |
| 0:11.0 | We are going to explore the power of these moments, both intentional and |
| 0:16.4 | unexpected and how they shape our identities and help us grow personally. So let's dive in. |
| 0:27.0 | Welcome to the school of self-image, where personal development meets style. |
| 0:31.8 | Here's your hostess Master life coach Tanya Lee. |
| 0:36.5 | Hello my friends welcome back to the podcast. I don't know about you all but I am loving this spring weather here in Charlotte. |
| 0:47.0 | It is so beautiful and it's not too hot yet. Things are blooming. We are getting ready to move into the house, which is super exciting. |
| 0:57.2 | So my environment right now is a little bit chaotic because I have boxes everywhere and it's that awkward in between. |
| 1:05.0 | I talk a lot about this within the school of self-image membership, but I feel that in my own life |
| 1:11.8 | right now. It's like that space between where you were and where you're going. |
| 1:17.6 | And it's messy, it's chaotic, but it's necessary for change and so I'm experiencing that right now in my environment. |
| 1:25.0 | It's very awkward to look around and see a little bit of chaos, but I'm embracing all of it because life is not always neat and organized and beautiful. |

| 1:59.2 | also being really excited to get settled. I haven't been settled in a long time. In fact, I would say it has been over a decade since I have felt settled. |
| 2:14.0 | And I've chosen that intentionally. |
| 2:15.8 | I have loved the freedom of not owning a home up until now. |
| 2:21.8 | I have loved the travel I've enjoyed all of it but I'm at a season in my life where I just |
| 2:28.3 | want to settle I want to nest I want to just be in a place for a bit now that doesn't mean I'm not going to travel I will travel because I love traveling but |
| 2:41.2 | right now I want to travel to this new house and just take a deep breath and really take it in. |
