When was the last time you felt that feeling?
The excitement of making progress on your next great idea... instead of churning in confusion (and a list of other people’s requests)?
The exhilaration of taking a risk, betting on yourself, and blowing your own mind?
The exhale you make when you step inside your home, look in the mirror, and feel completely at ease… because you love what you see?
The energy you feel when you take a break from the ordinary... to delight yourself with experiences that spark something new?
Most importantly of all — When was the last time you felt:
- Free of others’ expectations…
- Free of self-imposed limitations…
- Lit up and turned on by your life?
When was the last time you felt like you?
If your answer was:
(a) Oh… it’s been far too long...
(b) Hmmm… nowhere near often enough...
(c) Ummmm — I don’t even know what that feels like...
(d) Send help! All of the above!
It’s time for us to talk.
We’ve all been here before...
When your life feels cluttered, your mind is messy, and the life you want seems just out of reach...
When you want to feel excited to wake up in the morning...
When you want to stop spinning in confusion and procrastination…
When you want to be a bold, audacious woman who refuses to settle…
You may be tempted to fix yourself.
Add more to your to-do list.
Try harder. Go faster. Strive bigger.
Only to end up exhausted, frustrated, and curled up on your sofa watching reruns of Sex and the City.
Daydreaming of a version of you who’s more stylish, spontaneous, confident, and consistently in motion towards her dreams.
So… what’s a woman to do?
It’s devilishly simple...
The opposite of everything you've been doing.
Stop trying to fix yourself (because you're not broken).
Tear up the to-do list (it’s only filled with things that are keeping you stuck and unfulfilled).
And slow down (because trying to change everything at once is a recipe for changing nothing).
It's time to master
HOW TO LIVE LIKE AN EDITOR
*Complimentary for School of Self-Image Members
The Fix:
Become the editor of your own life
Think of your favorite magazines, films, or runway collections. The most iconic editors, designers, and visionaries don’t succeed by doing more, hustling harder, or racing against time. They’re guided by intention, curation, and their unique point of view.
They know what belongs and what doesn’t. They trust their instincts. They understand the art of refinement.
Imagine applying that same approach to your life—your mindset, style, surroundings, and how you show up each day.
Instead of seeing your life as a series of problems to solve...
See your life as a masterwork to edit.
By focusing on what matters and gracefully letting go of what doesn’t, you can create a life that both looks and feels like a signature publication -- one that reflects your highest values, your authentic self-image, and your desire to experience confidence, elegance, and delight in every moment.
This isn’t about starting over; it’s about seeing your life through the lens of an editor-in-chief—
one tiny shift, one intuitive choice, one elevated decision at a time.
February 10 - 14, 2025
Become the Editor-in-Chief of your life - where every choice is an intentional edit, every standard an editorial decision, and every day a new page waiting to be written.
Together we’ll learn how to:
- Elevate Your Standards: Step into the identity of a woman who sets the tone for her own life. Reimagine your life as a one-of-a-kind magazine and create a powerful vision for who you want to become.
- Refine Your Stories: Replace limiting narratives with headlines that inspire you. Learn the difference between fact and fiction so you can write a bold future. Say goodbye to overwhelm and hello to clarity and forward momentum.
- Express Your Authentic Self: Align your inner self-image with your outward appearance, discovering what it really means to dress and carry yourself as the woman you’re becoming.
- Curate Your Environment: Transform your surroundings to reflect what you value. Small edits to your space can spark big shifts in how you think, feel, and show up.
- Choose Your Emotional Palette: Master the art of emotional curation, selecting the feelings that guide your days so you can live with more ease, confidence, and delight.
By the end of these five days, you won’t just have a plan. You’ll have practiced living as the editor of your life, understanding how to choose what stays, what goes, and what will define your next chapter.
"I did this two years ago and it changed my life. I've manifested nearly everything I wrote down during the course."
"Live Like an Editor is the best way to start the year. Each time I have completed the workshop I create the magazine cover part of the program. I print this and it sits on my desk and it is my constant reminder of the self-image I want to create. It's my daily visual reminder of the woman I'm transforming myself to be. Everything on this page has happened this year as I step into the next version of myself.
"So excited!! This was the workshop that got me hooked on SOSI last year, and I'm looking forward to learning the material again with a fresh perspective!"
"This is my favorite workshop! This is what sold me to sign up for The School of Self-Image and I have never looked back. Thank you Tonya for getting me through the last year and a half."
THE MAGAZINE OF YOU
It's Time for a Fresh Edition
Live Like an Editor is a 5-day virtual workshop for women who want to edit their lives with intention…
Who want to stop waiting and start creating the things they crave:
Whether you desire to upgrade your style, your surroundings, or your relationship…
Or make a big move in your career, take back control of your time & learn to feel incredible in your own skin (or all of the above)...
You’re going to practice the art of owning what you want and mindfully creating it — one intentional edit at a time.
No more overwhelm. Or second-guessing. Or stopping and starting. Or watering down your goals to match the expectations of others...
Because when you’re the Editor-in-Chief, you’re in charge — and you refuse to let anything stand between you & your vision.

Wondering what we’ll do each day?
Our daily agenda
An Editor-in-Chief is always prepared so go ahead and put our daily focus in your favorite planner:
Day One
Claim Your Title
We’ll spend our first day together envisioning your life as a one-of-a-kind magazine. What do you want the title to say about you? What values will be brought to life inside the pages? And what is the purpose that guides it?
Your answers to these questions will guide your focus for the rest of the week, and serve as the foundation for our editing process.
By the end of Day 1, you’ll reconnect with what truly matters to you and learn to commit to your vision for who you want to become.
Expect: clarity, excitement, and a big dose of creative energy.
Day Two
Write Your Headlines
Most women’s desires are tangled up in a confusing backstory of their past, the overwhelm of the present, and the uncertainty of the future. No wonder it’s so hard to figure out what you want and how to create it!
On Day 2, we’ll edit out the noise and write your life as a series of head-turning headlines.
We’ll mine for the gold of your past, celebrate the present, and make plans for your future. Sharp and concise, this is the ultimate antidote to overwhelming goals and complicated action plans.
By the end of Day 2, you’ll have a clear sense of how your past, present, and future align to pave the way for your life.
Expect: closure, focus, and forward momentum
Day Three
Choose Your Setting
If your dream life had a cover, what would be on it? On Day 3, we’ll envision the cover story of your dream life and where the story would be shot.
We’ll explore what your ideal environment looks like: is it bustling and busy, or calm and serene? What is around you? And how do you feel when you’re there?
When you prioritize how you want to feel, you’ll surprise yourself with how you can create that feeling in your life now, no matter where you are.
By the end of Day 3, you’ll play with ways to make your current space feel like your dream location.
Expect: expansion, playful curation, and imagination.
Day Four
Style Your Cover
The clothes you wear have a remarkable impact on how you show up (or hide). But style runs so much deeper than the clothes on your skin…
On Day 4, we’ll explore your personal style and what you want it to say about you. That’s because style is how you move through the world: from how you hold yourself, the way you enter (and own) a room, how other people experience you… and how you feel in your own skin.
By the end of Day 4, you’ll discover exciting new possibilities for how you can dress like your future self now (and it has nothing to do with whipping out your credit card or losing 20 pounds).
Expect: relief, comfort, and bold self-expression.
Day Five
Your Internal Style Guide
Like the clothes we wear and the environment we surround ourselves with, our words carry energy. But most women are thinking ordinary thoughts and using ordinary words that are off-brand for the best version of themselves.
Your thoughts and words create the content of your publication — and your life. Do you like the results? Either way, you get to make the rules (and on our final day together, I’ll show you how).
By the end of Day 5, you’ll develop your personal “internal style guide” for the thoughts and words that help you live like the version of you that you know is possible — the woman who has already achieved her goals. This is key to staying in motion towards what you want and feeling good along the way.
Expect: higher standards, less internal drama, and unstoppable forward momentum
Edit your life with intention
Over 5 days we’ll develop a vision for your most authentic life, page by page and cover to cover.
Most importantly, every day you’ll practice living like the truest version of yourself in small but powerful ways. From your style, to your home, to the thoughts inside your head…
You’ll learn to see your life as your personal publication to edit, shape, and curate.
It’s impossible to feel powerless when you’re at the top of the masthead.

“This has been incredibly soul-nourishing. Joining SOSI has truly changed my life.”
During the Live Like an Editor workshop, I felt so inspired that I posted in the Facebook group to find others nearby who would be interested in meeting up. The response was amazing! Within weeks, we had our first meetup. Since then, we’ve had regular meetups started a book club, and I’ve made wonderful friends. We explore new activities, share laughter, and offer genuine support. This has been incredibly soul-nourishing. Joining SOSI has truly changed my life.

“Live Like an Editor has been an eye-opener and game changer for me.”
Thank you, Tonya and SOSI Ladies, for an amazing week of introspection and another opportunity to tap into my creativity. Live Like an Editor has been an eye-opener and game changer for me. Being this reflective has manifested in tiny but profound ways, as I can literally "see and feel" the mind shifts, emotional alignment, and tiny, inspired actions in real time. It is simply amazing.
- H Yvonne Harris
The Truth
Your life is so much more than a series of problems to be solved.
And when you’re the Editor-in-Chief of your own life, you get to lead with your vision and what inspires you, instead of what feels broken:
You get to decide what goes, what stays, and what takes up your precious headspace.
With the eye of an editor, change becomes inevitable... instead of heavy or impossible
- Does this choice fit my dreams, my desires, and who I want to become?
- Does this action flatter my body, mind and spirit, my values, and the way I want to show up in the world?
- Does this thought belong in my future or will it only take me further away from what I want to cultivate in my one precious life?
When you practice these questions, everything you do next is an artful experiment...
You get to play with what to amplify, what to elevate, what to edit, and when to walk away.
So you stop waiting, and start creating:
Because you realize that no decision is final, and if you don’t like the outcome, you’re allowed to turn back (or change course entirely).
Because you trust that no matter what...
You can rewrite your story.

My Cover Story
From Office of Overwhelm
to Editor-in-Chief
I’m Tonya Leigh: Master Life Coach, founder of The School of Self-Image, and a reformed Officer of Overwhelm of my life (the title was as bad as it sounds).
Here are a few things you should know about me:
I grew up in a trailer in the deep south, with an accent so thick that a man once asked me which planet I was from. I dreamed of being worldly… but for most of my life, my world (and what I thought was possible for myself) was incredibly small.
I tried and failed to change my life for over a decade.
I knew immediately, as I always had, that I wanted to be a worldly woman who could hold captivating conversations about art, business, culture, and everything in between. Fed up with myself and unsure of what to do, I decided to do something that raised the eyebrows of everyone around me...
This small-town girl who pronounced Rosé wine like the flower (bless her heart!) decided to enroll in Sommelier school.
It was one small but powerful step towards my most authentic self that changed how I saw myself entirely.
With that one decision, I became the kind of woman who believed that she deserved luxury.
The kind of woman who had her own back… and the kind of woman who was going to create her rich, vibrant life — one intentional edit at a time.
Becoming this woman has completely changed my life: incredible relationships, a thriving company, a greater sense of well-being, more confidence and joy. (And, yes, I lost the weight and have kept it off for years without dieting or drama.)
Today, my work is helping women create endless possibilities in their lives — and it begins with choosing to see yourself as the masterpiece you are.

JOIN THE GLOBAL RENAISSANCE OF WOMEN CLAIMING THEIR AUTHENTIC SELVES
"I found Tonya back in 2016. She talks the talk AND walks the walk. She inspires on a level of true grit and grace. She asks the tough questions, and she also can be your biggest cheerleader.
She has been there, done that AND she brings questions and topics to the table that are desperately needed, stimulating conversations that change lives. She reminds me that life is so worth living, and doing it at my best every day.
And when we have not so good days, and we all do, she reminds us to not stay in that thought. To love yourself through it. We are all in this together, helping each other straighten our crowns."

Is this for you?
Say yes to Live Like an Editor if...
You’re doing all the things, but feel like nothing ever changes
You work hard but it feels like you’re running in place.
When it comes to executing on others’ visions, you’re a pro. But when it comes to giving yourself the same gift, you struggle to follow through — and you’re ready to start keeping promises to yourself.
Life (& change) feel so overwhelming that you don’t know how to start
There’s so much in your life you wish was different, and it’s paralyzing.
(Or, your guts knows exactly what you need to change but the fear of failure and the unknown are keeping you stuck). You want the clarity of focus and the courage to go after what you want and get it.
You want the process of change to feel just as good as the results
Because beating yourself up towards a life you love is not required (or desired).
You want to work towards what you want by living out the life you want now — and enjoy it, every step of the way.
You want your life to feel calmer, clearer, and more inspiring
Because there’s never a bad time to edit your life (or your mind).
You’re ready to clear the clutter and reconnect with the truth of who you are, what you want, and how to start living it now.
Most importantly, join us for Live Like an Editor if you want to clarify exactly what’s standing between you and the version of you that you know is possible. And how to channel her now,

Questions you might have about joining us...
What if I can’t attend the daily sessions with Tonya due to timezone differences or other commitments?
The daily sessions with Tonya will be recorded, and we’ll email you the links to catch up at the end of each day. You can participate during your own time, but if you can be there live we recommend it!
There’s nothing quite like the energy of being on the call with Tonya and other women who are taking the workshop with you. Plus, we find something magical tends to happen when you prioritize and make space for what matters to you.
Either way, no matter where you are in the world, you can catch up with each day of the workshop at a time that works for you.
I’m super busy! Will I have time for this?
Here’s another question: do you want to have a life where it’s possible to take 10-20 minutes in the morning to focus on what’s important to you (and ideally, even more time than that)?
Could you take 45 minutes out of your day to enjoy your lunch and reconnect with yourself? And, would it feel empowering to end your nights with clarity and a sense of momentum toward the things you want to create in your life?
If you answered yes… say yes to the workshop. You’ll practice living this way in real-time (and if you can’t make it work each day, we’ve got your back. Try your best and just catch up when you can).
How is this different to courses, books, or programs I’ve already tried before?
Ever created a complicated action plan for your life that quickly fell by the wayside? Or are you so overwhelmed by everything you want to change that you’re totally paralyzed?
Have you ever tried to commit to a strict diet or exercise regimen, only to quit and berate yourself for it? (The problem was the plan, not you, by the way.) Or shopped your way to a closet full of clothes that don’t make you feel stylish or at home in your own skin?
Or are you winging your way through life – picking up an idea in a book here, a soundbite from a podcast there, but never truly feeling better or living as the woman you dream of being?
Live Like an Editor is different because it invites you to stop seeing your life as a problem to be solved, and instead approach it from the perspective of the woman who already has what you want, feels what you want to feel, and thinks the way you want to think.
The result is rapid clarity, inspired action, and the ability to begin cultivating a life that works for you now – instead of tolerating your life until one day it magically gets better. (Spoiler alert: it won’t happen… unless you intentionally create it.)
It was Marc Jacobs who wisely said:
Your life is a series of creative choices.
It’s yours to refine, correct, tweak, modify, adorn, and exaggerate to your own desire.
But do you believe it? And are you living it?
Or — despite your best efforts — is life simply happening to you instead?
If you’re spending more time tolerating your life than creating it...
If you want to push against the edges of what you think is possible for yourself…
And if you want to connect with the truth of who you are, what lights you up, and how to live like the woman who is capable of creating everything you want and more…
Don’t wait another year, month or New York minute to make it happen.
The fact that you’re here, still reading, means you’re ready for a change.
So join us for Live Like an Editor.
You’re just one week of intentional curation (and delightful inspiration) away from meeting your most authentic self.
You’re going to love her just as much as I do.
With love,
Tonya
