About this episode

Transforming Your Work Mindset: From Scarcity to Abundance

Success is often viewed as an unending quest for more—more money, more recognition, more achievements. However, as discussed in the podcast episode, true success goes beyond these conventional metrics. It is about discovering joy and alignment in your work while honoring both your inner hustler and your inner lady of leisure.

Host Tonya Leigh dives into her work philosophy and shares her reflections on how it has evolved over time. As part of the summer series, she revisits past topics and offers her current insights. Tonya discusses her journey toward a more relaxed and confident work life, expressing her overall happiness in both her personal and professional realms. Additionally, she introduces a valuable resource for listeners: a comprehensive PDF detailing the tools, software, and gadgets her team uses to run their business effectively. Listeners can access this resource at schoolofselfimage.com/biztools.

Join Tonya as she explores the intersection of personal development and work, inspiring you to find joy and fulfillment in your own career.
