This is usually the default character we effortlessly embody because she’s so familiar to us. But, we end up not being happy with the results of what this character creates.

This is exactly why I created the Live Like an Editor workshop, where you choose your character for the year. You start with one word and build from there.

I like to think about it like this – your life is a magazine, and you are the editor.

What do you want your life to be about? Who do you want to become this year?

Last year, my character was “energized,” and I ended 2023 with increased energy levels. Plus, my stress levels were at a low (can I get a hallelujah?).

It’s because of this workshop that I was able to create these results.

Live Like an Editor is our most beloved workshop of the year, with thousands of women having gone through the unique and powerful process. And it starts next week.

In addition to walking you through the 5-step Live Like an Editor process, I’m sharing my 2024 character, why I chose it, and how I’m up-leveling my life to support her.

Are you ready to break free from your default character and write a role that makes you come alive?

Writing Your Story

Life is defined by the stories we tell ourselves. Each chapter, twist, and turn contributes to the narrative shaping your identity.

I’ve discovered that to create an extraordinary life, you must not only rewrite the story of your past but also intentionally craft the story of your future.

Past experiences, both good and bad, play a pivotal role in shaping who you are. However, how you interpret and frame those experiences can significantly impact your present and future.

Instead of viewing challenges as setbacks, consider reframing them as valuable lessons that have created your resilience and strength.

By telling the story of your past in a supportive way, you empower yourself to break free from negativity and reclaim control over your life’s narrative.

Looking ahead is also crucial. In the School of Self-Image, we focus on the future you – the woman who already has the life you desire.

Crafting a vivid image of your future self – from her habits and values to her style and surroundings is imperative. Intentionally writing the story of who you are becoming helps you to take the necessary steps toward the life you deeply desire.

Remember that you are the author of your story. 

Reframe your past with kindness and resilience, and let your future self guide you toward creating the life of your dreams.

A Love Letter to Myself with Chris Noetzel

Dear Me,

It was an amazing year, wasn't it? You changed and grew and learned so much about yourself. You fell in love with your life again! Wasn't it wonderful to meet so many School of Self-Image sisters and have so many new experiences with them?  Isn't it soul-enriching to have so many new friendships? You finally have your tribe!

This year, you got found and then lost again, but not as lost as before. You are discovering who you are. You lived out your mantra from before you moved: "I am healthy and joyful and at peace, whether

Thank you, Tonya Leigh, for helping me reframe my 2023 into something beautiful and helping me lean into the successes instead of the failures. 

The Your Extraordinary Year Workshop and activities have been so nourishing and refreshing to my soul.

I am on my way. Here's to an amazing 2024!
