If you're ready to step into aligned energy and start thriving, take the Next Era Quiz: https://schoolofselfimage.com/quiz-pod
Most women believe that working harder = a guaranteed win. But what if you're putting in the hours, checking the boxes… but nothing seems to click?
In this episode, I'm sharing how doing less actually gets you MORE – and it's about matching your energy with your self-image. You'll learn the three types of energy women usually operate from and where you need to focus in order to welcome your next era of success.
Here's what we cover:
• Why effort alone can't create success, and how your energy determines your results
• The link between self-image and energy, and how misalignment keeps you stuck
• The three energy states that shape your results
• How fear-based energy blocks creativity, confidence, and genuine connection
• The power of aligned energy: where action meets flow and attraction feels effortless
• Simple ways to shift your energy, realign your self-image, and step into your next era

| 0:00.0 | You know that feeling when you're doing all the things, you're trying to be organized, you're |
| 0:05.2 | showing up, you're checking off the boxes, and yet somehow it still feels like you're just |
| 0:10.3 | running in place. I've been there, doing the work, putting in the hours, doing everything right, |
| 0:17.6 | and still something feels like it isn't clicking. Well, what if it's not what you're doing |
| 0:22.5 | that's the problem, but the energy that you're doing it from? That question changed everything for me. |
| 0:31.4 | Welcome to the School of Self-image, where our motto is simple. Elevate your self-image, elevate your life. I'm Tanya Lee, your hostess, |
| 0:39.8 | and I'll guide you to become the woman who doesn't just dream bigger. She lives bigger. Let's dive in. |
| 0:47.5 | Hey, my friend, I'm Tanya Lee, and if there's one thing that I've learned after coaching thousands of |
| 0:53.5 | women, it's this. We are not short on |
| 0:56.8 | effort. We've got our planners, our post-it notes, our morning routines. We are tracking our |
| 1:03.9 | macros. We got 12 tabs open. We're reading mindset books. We are busy with action. And yet, |
| 1:13.7 | some of us still feel stuck. And it's not because we're lazy. It's not because we're not doing enough. It's because you cannot outwork, |
| 1:19.4 | misaligned energy. You cannot outperform your self-image. I've tried. And let me tell you, |
| 1:26.0 | it's exhausting. I do not recommend it. When I finally |
| 1:30.0 | stopped obsessing over doing more, and I started to pay attention to how I was being, meaning |
| 1:37.3 | the energy behind my actions, that's when everything began to shift. Things that used to feel so hard started to feel lighter. |
| 1:47.5 | Opportunities started to show up without all of the struggle. And I realized something big. And |
| 1:53.5 | this one's really hard for those of us who have been taught that life has to be hard. It has to be a |
| 1:59.8 | struggle. But it's this, things get to be easier. |
| 2:05.9 | So that's what today's episode is all about. I want to talk about what energy is beyond the buzzword |
| 2:12.4 | and why it determines your results more than your to-do list ever could. And finally, how shifting it, |
| 2:20.1 | how shifting your energy actually helps you to achieve more by doing less. Because this isn't about |
