You’ve probably heard the phrase “invest in yourself” a million times.

But I want to offer you a different lens today:

Every investment you make is expanding – or shrinking – your self-image.
And your self-image is creating your entire life.

When I look back at the moments where my life massively shifted – it was always after an investment that stretched me.

Whether it was time, money, energy, or attention…
The moment I said, “I’m worth this,” my world expanded to meet me.

Not because of the thing I invested in,
but because of who I became by saying yes to myself.

That’s the part we often miss.

The real return on investment isn’t the course, the coach, the dress, or the journal.
It’s the identity shift that happens when you decide:
“I am worth being poured into.”

And lately, I’ve made some powerful investments – from the deeply practical to the beautifully indulgent – that have continued to elevate my self-image.
 

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing exactly what they are (and how they’re showing up in my confidence, creativity, and results).

Because here’s the truth:

When your self-image expands, so does everything else – your relationships, your health, your money, your joy.
It all rises to meet the woman you believe yourself to be.

And the greatest investment you will ever make is in the one thing that’s shaping everything else:

Your self-image.

It’s the thermostat.
It regulates what you allow, what you create, and how you feel along the way.

So if you’ve been on the fence about investing in anything – ask yourself this:

✨ Will this expand who I believe I am?

Because that belief?
That’s the real currency of reinvention.

With love,

The Best ROI

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

~ Benjamin Franklin

Here’s an uncomfortable truth: many women spend money on everyone and everything except themselves, and then, they wonder why they feel stuck. 

Does this ring true in your life? Perhaps you’ll buy the premium coffee, but hesitate on the course that could change your life.

What if the scariest investment is actually the safest one? The money you spend on yourself – on your growth, your skills, your environment, your support – is the only investment guaranteed to pay dividends forever. You can lose a stock, but you can’t lose what you become.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to invest in yourself, this is your moment. September inside the School of Self-Image is dedicated to The Elegant Success Framework – my complete system for achieving your biggest goals without the burnout, overwhelm, or sacrifice we’ve been taught to expect.

This isn’t about grinding harder. It’s about creating results that feel as good as they look – grounded in peace, guided by clarity, and elevated by joy. 

Because here’s what I know: when you change how you approach your goals, you change what becomes possible. And that shift in your self-image? It changes everything else.

[Summer Series] 5 Investments That Have Changed My Self-Image

I’m getting personal in this episode – sharing the specific investments, both financial and emotional, that completely shifted how I see myself and what I believe is possible. From coaching to my living space to hiring support, each decision expanded my identity before it expanded my results.

I break down why investing in yourself isn’t selfish (it’s strategic), and how the right investments compound not just financially, but energetically. This is essential listening if you’ve been hesitating to bet on yourself.
