| 0:00.0 | Do you want to be the kind of woman that people love being around? The kind of woman who |
| 0:05.3 | lifts the energy of a room just by walking into it. Well, there is one tiny practice that I learned |
| 0:11.9 | at a dinner party in the south of France. And once I started using it, I noticed something fascinating. |
| 0:18.4 | People smiled more. You could feel the energy expand and lighten. And they'd ask, |
| 0:24.2 | when are we going to get together again? And in a few cases, I noticed that lives had huge shifts |
| 0:29.6 | because of it. And today, I'm going to show you exactly how to use it. Welcome to the School of |
| 0:36.8 | Self Image, where our motto is simple. Elevate your self-image, |
| 0:41.0 | elevate your life. I'm Tanya Lee, your hostess, and I'll guide you to become the woman who |

| 1:39.7 | which was a first for me. |
| 1:41.2 | But when we finally sat down around 10 p.m., the conversation started, |
| 1:45.6 | and my soul was so delighted. Everyone around that table just felt alive and fully present. |
| 1:56.2 | People were laughing. There were a few passionate debates. One I remember was about who had better cuisine, |
| 2:03.0 | the French or the Italians, since those were the majority of the people at the table. People were |
| 2:08.3 | talking about books they loved, projects they were working on. It was just an exciting and |
| 2:13.7 | lightening evening. And here's what I wasn't hearing, complaining, gossiping, or spiraling into |
