Create a life that actually energizes you with The Sweet Spot Playbook. https://schoolofselfimage.com/sweetspot
If you crave more elegant days, you're in the right place. 
Because – let's be honest, the world doesn't feel very elegant right now. People are at each other's throats. Anxiety seems to be the dominant global emotion. There's tension in the air, and so many women I talk to feel unmotivated, overwhelmed, or stuck. Or all three. 
Here's what I believe: People are craving elegance. They just don't realize it.
What I've discovered is that most elegant days aren't about what I accomplish. They're about five specific choices I make – five tensions I navigate. When I get these right, everything clicks. 
Here's what we cover:
• What elegance really means – and why it has nothing to do with appearance
• The difference between restraint and reactivity (and how composure preserves your power)
• How constraint – not overwhelm – creates spacious, satisfying days
• Why savoring the present moment is the antidote to rushing and anxiety
• The shift from chasing "more" to living from a sense of enough
• How creating more than you consume restores aliveness, confidence, and elegance

Create an intentional thought wardrobe with me in the School of Self-Image membership: https://schoolofselfimage.com/join
Have you ever slipped into a favorite outfit that doesn't quite fit anymore? Not because it's wrong – it just no longer feels like you.
That's exactly what's happening with many of the thoughts you're carrying around.
We're so careful about what we put on our bodies. We edit our closets. Remove what's outdated. But in our minds? We're still wearing beliefs we inherited from our past – ideas that have nothing to do with who we're becoming.
Here's the truth: You can't step into the next version of your life wearing old thoughts. So today, I'm introducing you to a concept I call a Well-Dressed Mind.
Because the most powerful thing you can change? It isn't in your closet. It's what you're wearing on the inside.
Here's what we cover:
• Why most women are still "wearing" thoughts that no longer fit who they're becoming
• The concept of a well-dressed mind: where psychology meets personal style
• How outdated, inherited beliefs quietly shape confidence, behavior, and results
• Why comfort keeps old thoughts in place, and how cognitive dissonance signals growth
• The power of bridge thoughts to evolve your identity without overwhelming yourself
• How curating your mental wardrobe helps you step into your future with confidence and ease

What if everything we've been told about aging well is keeping us from actually living well? What if all the products, protocols, and rules for "aging gracefully" are actually doing the opposite?
You've heard the typical hacks: eat healthy, exercise, maybe even Botox. But those things don't guarantee a well-lived life.
As I turn 50, I want to share what truly matters when it comes to creating a life that feels as good as it looks. These aren't the surface-level tips you'll find in a magazine. These are the deeper, more sophisticated truths about what it really takes to age powerfully.
Here's what we cover:
• Why aging well isn't about holding on to youth, but releasing what no longer fits
• How knowing and living your true values reshapes the second half of your life
• The difference between looking young and feeling fully alive
• Why pleasure, presence, and vitality matter more than constant productivity
• How cultivating interests and boundaries creates richness, confidence, and ease
• The power of consciously choosing and telling an aging story rooted in expansion, not decline
A note on this episode: We experienced some technical difficulties during recording that affected the audio and video quality. The conversation itself, however, is too valuable not to share.

Design the year you want to live inside Live Like An Editor, January 12–16, 2026. Join us at https://schoolofselfimage.com/editor 
What if I told you that the key to becoming the woman you're meant to be has nothing to do with discipline, willpower, or even strategy?
The secret to a new self-image is actually something you already know how to do… a little game you've already mastered as a child.
I'm talking about playing "make believe." This one practice (when done with intention) can make you absolutely unrecognizable in the best possible way. Every transformation I've experienced in my life, from building a multimillion-dollar business to living my dreams, started with this practice.
I promise you: This is the most practical, powerful tool you can use to transform your life.
Here's what we cover:
• Why "playing make-believe" is one of the most powerful tools for reinvention
• How acting as your future self rewires your brain and shapes your identity
• Real-life examples of becoming unrecognizable through intentional identity practice
• Why becoming the next version of you requires bold imagination, courage, and play
• How to stay committed when others doubt, judge, or misunderstand your evolution
• How living from your future (not your past) turns vision into reality and magic into results

Most women go into the new year trying to fix themselves: Fix their bodies. Fix their habits. Fix their homes. Fix their lives. All focused on this state of repairing what's "wrong".
But what if the breakthrough you're craving doesn't come from trying to change your "flaws" but from designing what's possible? The next version of you shouldn't be created through pressure, but through vision.
With this 10-minute practice, you can create the game-changing shift that will make your entire year feel different. 
Here's what we cover:
• Why trying to "fix" yourself keeps you stuck, and how design creates real change
• The shift from self-repair culture to living from vision, creativity, and desire
• How embracing wabi-sabi turns imperfections into texture, depth, and beauty
• Why viewing your life as a magazine changes how you set goals and make decisions
• The difference between repair-based habits and design-based choices in everyday life
• How stepping into the role of editor-in-chief empowers you to create a year that feels like yours
