Summary
Cultivating Quiet Confidence as a Woman
In today's fast-paced world, power is often associated with loudness, dominance, and aggressive behavior. However, Tonya Leigh highlights a different perspective: quiet power, which is rooted in presence, certainty, and self-trust. This form of power is not about making noise or asserting oneself over others; rather, it embodies a calm and confident energy that naturally commands respect.

Tonya reflects on her personal journey and how her quietness and feminine energy have often been misinterpreted as weaknesses. She shares insights on the importance of authenticity and self-trust, emphasizing that true power lies in being aligned with one’s true self rather than succumbing to external pressures.

| 0:00.0 | Have you ever met a woman who barely says a word, yet somehow she commands the entire room? |
| 0:06.0 | She doesn't demand attention. She simply owns it. She doesn't force respect. She naturally receives it. |
| 0:14.2 | Well, what's her secret? It's not about being the loudest or the most dominant. |
| 0:18.9 | It's about the power of presence, certainty, and |
| 0:22.6 | unshakable self-trust. Today, we are uncovering the art of quiet power, how to hold your |
| 0:29.5 | own, influence without force, and become a woman who is truly undeniable. Let's dive in. |
| 0:42.2 | Welcome to the School of Self-image, where personal development meets style. Here's your hostess, Master Life Coach, Tanya Lee. Hello, hello, my beautiful friends. |
| 0:50.8 | I am so excited about today's topic because I think some of you are going to be able to relate |
| 0:58.1 | to what I'm about to share. I've been thinking a lot lately about leadership and what it |

| 1:36.9 | And I know deep down inside, that's just not who I am. And yet I understand the pressure to be different to fit other people's |
| 1:48.4 | narrative. I understand the pressure to appear a certain way so that you can create better results. |
| 1:58.2 | But I've come to understand that if you are trying to be something that your soul |
| 2:03.2 | is not in alignment with, if you are trying to be powerful in a way that doesn't feel true to you, |
| 2:10.9 | there is going to be misalignment. And anytime you are misaligned, you lose your power. |
| 2:17.5 | So in today's episode, I am speaking to the women who are quiet and yet powerful. |
| 2:25.1 | But perhaps you have been told that you need to be louder, that you need to be more dominant, |
| 2:31.0 | that you need to be aggressive in order to be successful. And today I'm challenging |
