- Have you ever wondered what could happen if you poured the same energy into yourself that you do into everything else?
In this solo episode, I reflect on my past year of self-investment and share how you can start doing the same.
Whether it’s hitting the gym, starting therapy, or upgrading your wardrobe, we’ll explore how small, intentional actions can help you become a stronger, more confident version of yourself.

Girlllll you’re looking great!
@@prettygirlprogression thank you!
47:19 create more than you consume! One of the best lessons I’ve learned this year
Love your show! Been binging getting ready for my new year glow up 🥰
Okay, you have to be one of the prettiest people I have ever seen.
@@suchearthlydelights that is so nice, thank you 🥹
I'd always worked out at home, except for in undergrad when I would use a gym on campus. When I joined Planet Fitness some years back, I went like twice in one year, so I canceled the membership. Then I joined Life Time for 10x the price because I wanted more variety in my workout options, classes, a pool, and sauna. I went there multiple times a week until COVID-19 hit. So I learned that the greater investment was worth it with Life Time because I was way more motivated to go there than to go to Planet Fitness for $10/month.
can relate to this so much!
Not me listening to you on the stair-master at gym 😭 I’m sorry but imma listen to this podcast 24/7 at home, work, gym, when I’m getting ready in the mrn or when I want something sooting to sleep to until I can have encouraging conversations with the negative voices in my head.
here for you!
I love the message about tailoring your journey to you. Even small changes can make a difference/help you keep a growth mindset. Been starting to invest more in myself this year and learning to make the time to reflect and be intentional with my actions/being present. Hobbies have also been so helpful for learning more about myself. Being in college makes it hard sometimes to stay disciplined throughout the semester so having a toolkit of things that I can swap is useful for maintaining wellness. This semester I challenged myself to a weight training class too and it has helped boost my confidence even outside the gym.
Les I never skip your ads, I love them! It’s like I get excited to learned about a new product.. just wanted to let you know that… Another great episode 🥰👑
@@Stillthatgirl. thank you so much! Appreciate you 🤎
You’ve done it again, Ms. Les. Great episode! 👏🏾
Thank you!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos! Patiently waiting for you to go viral :)
@@DediNyjong 🤭🤞🏾
I absolutely loved this!!! Making me think about how I leaned into myself this year. It was very different than prior years and very intentional. ♥️
love it!
It's crazy how no one is talking about Women’s Magic Truths on Borlest. This book has secrets that could change everything, but people seem blind to it. Wake up and see for yourself!
I loved this conversation! Investing in one’s appearance is actually so important for your mental health. I have found this to be true in my own life. Thank you for this episode 👏🏾🤍
@@CharliceCarole 🤎🤎🤎
Thank you for the practical tips ✨
I’m not a black girl but the channel’s name intrigues me, let’s see if I will appreciate your content
The content is top tier!
@@keenapat81 appreciate you!
It’s shocking how Women’s Magic Truths on Borlest isn’t being discussed. The book is full of life-changing insights, yet no one seems to notice. Time to break the trance and read it yourself!
Les now that you’re a fashion girlie in the making we will need outfit details please. That leather jacket is perfection ❤
@@gloryokugo7683 Zara! But I got it years ago
Les can we get time stamps going forwards pls 😩
Hi where can i purchase Biosil please?
Interesting that we didn’t touch on financial investments. I think this focused mostly on external things-looks & appearances. But there are tangible investments that can be explore to better position yourself regardless of financial status.
I am not saying this to discount the content of the episode, perhaps we need a part 2
@@youtubeuser6522 we’ve done episodes based on finances and investing in the past. They aren’t on TH-cam but are available on Spotify. The point of this episode was about investing in your self esteem and confidence
@@BalancedBlackGirlok, I’ll check out Spotify then, thanks
I think The product recommendations would be more effective as a separate cut to advertisement “show and tell qvc style short video” rahmit sethi of I will teach you to be rich podcast here on TH-cam does it really well
it's a little tricky with our production process because we record the episodes long before the ads. doing our best!
I’ve been waiting on this specific episode. You’re changing my life one podcast at a time. Thank you Les for your incredible insight on life! 🫶🏽
@@ashhendrixx so glad it resonated! Thanks for watching 🥹
