Most women go into the new year trying to fix themselves: Fix their bodies. Fix their habits. Fix their homes. Fix their lives. All focused on this state of repairing what's "wrong".

But what if the breakthrough you're craving doesn't come from trying to change your "flaws" but from designing what's possible? The next version of you shouldn't be created through pressure, but through vision.

With this 10-minute practice, you can create the game-changing shift that will make your entire year feel different.

Here's what we cover:

• Why trying to "fix" yourself keeps you stuck, and how design creates real change

• The shift from self-repair culture to living from vision, creativity, and desire

• How embracing wabi-sabi turns imperfections into texture, depth, and beauty

• Why viewing your life as a magazine changes how you set goals and make decisions

• The difference between repair-based habits and design-based choices in everyday life

• How stepping into the role of editor-in-chief empowers you to create a year that feels like yours

Imagine if three small, French secrets – simple, practical, and quietly powerful – could completely shift how you see yourself.

In this episode, I'm sharing three lessons I learned during my time in France that didn't just change how I lived – they became the foundation of the work I do today.

Together, we explore how choosing quality, tending to your own inner world, and loving what you already have can create profound identity shifts – without hustle, pressure, or waiting for your life to look different first.

Here's what we cover:

• The three French "secrets" that subtly but powerfully reshape your self-image

• Why choosing quality – especially in your thoughts – raises your standards and sense of self-worth

• How cultivating your own garden ends comparison and strengthens self-trust

• What changes when you stop managing other people and start leading yourself

• Why loving what you already have creates true abundance (without dimming your desire)

• How these French secrets build worthiness, leadership, and confidence from the inside out

Take the two questions from this episode even deeper, download The Art of the Edit for five more essential questions to curate your most authentic year. https://schoolofselfimage.com/art-pod

Imagine if two simple questions could completely rewrite your year. Not by pushing harder or doing more, but by shifting your self-image. These are the questions that change everything as you move into a new year.

One of the greatest resources I use in my life is to ask profound questions – none of the fluffy, surface-level stuff. In fact, I disappear for 24 hours every December to gain clarity on what I truly want.

And here's the truth: answering these two questions that I'm sharing today can honestly shift your next 365 days from habitual to intentional.

Here's what we cover:

• Why the two questions you ask yourself can determine the identity you build next year

• How tolerations drain energy, lower standards, and quietly shape a self-image of "settling"

• Why choosing one thing you're done tolerating creates powerful, focused transformation

• How identity (not willpower) is what ends old patterns and habits

• The practice of becoming the woman who no longer tolerates the old version of your life

• How small, daily actions reinforce a new self-image and create your next-level year
