Welcome back to CEO School!

In today's episode, we're joined by Tonya Leigh, founder of the School of Self Image and host of the podcast “School of Self-Image .” Tonya takes us through her inspiring journey from a critical care nurse and single mom in the deep South to becoming a food and wine writer in France, transforming her life by reimagining who she could be.

We dive into Tonya's unique framework for self-image, which centers on mindset, style, and environment, and how these pillars empower women, especially high-achieving entrepreneurs, to design a life they love. 

Get ready for an important conversation on overcoming fear, the true currency of change, and actionable steps to step confidently into your highest self.
