This proactive approach is essential for anyone seeking to lead a fulfilling and empowered life.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the summer podcast series, a special time where I'm revisiting some of my very first |
| 0:06.6 | podcast episodes. And in this one, we're going to go all the way back to episode one where I was a |
| 0:13.9 | little awkward, a little weird, and very passionate about calling out the personal |
| 0:18.4 | development world. It is a mix of nostalgia, a bit of a rant, |
| 0:22.8 | and a reminder of how much we can evolve. So let's dive in. Welcome to the School of Self |
| 0:31.8 | Image, where personal development meets style. Here's your hostess, Master Life Coach, Tanya Lee. |
| 0:39.5 | Hello, hello, dear friends, and welcome to our very first episode of the summer podcast series. |
| 0:47.3 | Now, if you're just tuning in and you have no idea what I'm talking about, I announced |
| 0:51.3 | last week that I am taking a break from podcasting over the summer. And it's not a |
| 0:56.4 | full on break because obviously I'm recording this. But what we're going to be doing is bringing |
| 1:01.5 | back episodes from the past and me revisiting them through a new lens as the woman I am today. |
| 1:08.4 | So every episode is going to have a little intro from me and then we're |
| 1:11.8 | going to dive right in. Another thing that I did is I created a very extensive podcast guide for you |
| 1:19.3 | all. So often I have women email me or DM me saying, hey, do you have a podcast around this topic or |
| 1:25.5 | that topic? And with almost 500 episodes, |
| 1:29.4 | I have a podcast just about on every topic you can imagine. And so I created this guide just to |
| 1:35.6 | help you figure out what podcast you may want to revisit over the summer and beyond. |
| 1:41.0 | So if you go to schoolofselfimage.com forward slash guide, you can get your free copy. |
| 1:47.7 | Now, today's episode is a very special one because it was my very first episode that I ever recorded. |
| 1:56.5 | And I will tell you, it is very rare for me to go back and listen to my podcast. But to prepare for |
| 2:04.1 | today, I did. And let me tell you, it is cringe worthy to me. Oh my God, you guys, I am listening |
| 2:15.6 | to myself. And I'm like, first of all, you sound completely different. |
