Journey Begins February 27th, 2012
Slim, Chic & Savvy. It’s not a typical program. It’s not a workshop. It is not another diet how-to.
It is a lifestyle … an immersion experience … a mindset.
It’s about learning how to French Kiss Life!
And I’m BEYOND excited to share it with you.
So check your baggage at the door — weight loss, beauty image, confidence, career goals, romance, etc. — because this spring, we’re journeying to the Sweet Spot!
That illusive place of expansion where authentic self-love and self-acceptance become your automatic way of being, and where it actually feels empowering and positive to grow and shift toward greater confidence, beauty and wellness. A place without shame, without struggle, and without self-sabotage.
Are you ready to start thriving right now, exactly as you are, and by the end of this 10-week immersion experience, have the tools and mindset to take you to where you desire to go? Slim, Chic & Savvy will get you there. So, welcome aboard. You just received your Passport to Living a Delicious Life!
Welcome to the start of the journey. This is where the itinerary changes and life gets better. The only things you’ll need to bring along are courage, playfulness, and a willingness to see the journey through.
We are headed to a place where passion, pleasure, and play live harmoniously with positive growth, change, and personal evolution; where women live Slim, Chic & Savvy.
- Slim: Life without excess
- Chic: Living with style
- Savvy: Knowing how to get what you want
For the next 10 weeks, we are going to voyage to the paradise that is the SCS Sweet Spot. I will immerse you in the SCS mindset and way of life and, most importantly, I will show you CLEARLY how to find the Sweet Spot for YOURSELF.
This is the good stuff that I learned from those French women who taught me to eat, think and live like a slim, chic and savvy woman.
And the best part is, the results will begin immediately. On the very first day, I will invite you to peek inside your Sweet Spot and begin to take action steps to delve into it from the inside-out.
What’s an Immersion?
When I decided to learn French, I tried to do it on my own, reading a lesson here, listening to a tape there. When that didn’t work, I signed up for a weekly class. That didn’t work either. As badly as I wanted to speak the language, trying to do it on my own or participating in a once-a-week class wasn’t enough.
So I decided to go to France and enroll in an immersion program where I spent every day, except Sunday, hearing, practicing, reading, and speaking the language with an instructor who refused to see me any other way than a French speaker.
I’ve discovered through years of coaching that personal transformation is akin to my attempt to learn a new language–it is difficult to do on your own and a weekly class just doesn’t cut it.
You need to be surrounded by a community that refuses to see you any other way than whom you desire to be and be immersed in daily practices to help you get there, all while enjoying the journey.
This program is an immersion where each day, except Sunday, you are going to be schooled in the SCS lifestyle, from mindset, to style, to well-being. No once-a-week phone calls and then left on your own.
Total immersion, baby!
Here’s how it all works:
1. Powerful, life-changing lessons delivered straight to your inbox Monday through Friday. These lessons will offer new concepts, perspectives, and ways of thinking and being in the world. Once read, life shifts.
2. Daily Action Steps. If you want your life to be different, you must start taking different actions. In SCS, we don’t just talk about concepts, we implement them. Each day, you’ll have a small action designed to produce big results.
3. Weekly Solo Excursions. On the weekend, you’ll set out on a bigger, more fun excursion that offers you an opportunity to put the SCS principles into practice, allowing you to experience the results of taking risks, step out of your comfort zone, and dive into a world of intention and pleasure.
4. Five Group Coaching Calls. Every other week, bring your problem or challenge to the group and we will hash it out, dive deeper, and create your next action steps. (Call days and times will rotate.)
5. A Weekly Wrap. Each Saturday, expect a little note of encouragement and a weekly wrap-up, as well as the week’s lessons in downloadable PDF format to print off and keep for a lifetime.
6. Invitation and Access to The Slim, Chic and Savvy Society. You are not just joining a program; you are joining an elite community of women who are all on similar journeys–to create fabulous, fulfilled lives. You’ll receive access to the secret SCS Facebook community page where support can be found and friendships will grow.
7. 5 Guest Speaker BONUS Calls. I have invited some of the coolest, brightest experts I know to share their tips for living a delicious life. These calls will not be just an hour of information… expect to walk away with life-changing action steps.
Here’s what we’ll cover in the 10 weeks:
Stop 1: Destination: Sweet Spot
We start the journey off by mapping out the specifics of what your personal Sweet Spot looks like. Then we navigate you there, petit à petit.
Stop 2: World HEADquarters
Exploring the world is important. Exploring the place you call home is even more so. An SCS woman is always at home within herself and maintains a mindset that makes home a nurturing and loving place.
Stop 3: St. Honesty
To get where you want to go, you have to be honest about where you really are and how you got there. It’s truth time, ladies. Once you “get real” with yourself, a whole new world of possibilities opens up to you.
Stop 4: The Twin Cities –Routine & Rituals
Positive change requires practice and repetition. Set yourself up for real success with routines that support SCS habits and with rituals that help you reconnect should you lose your way.
Stop 5: Lose the Baggage
It’s time to lighten your load by uncovering and expelling all the things that are weighing you down and holding you back in life, from cleaning out the closet to losing your mind.
Stop 6: The Land of Self-Love
Stop waging war against yourself and your body. Self-love is about celebrating where you are right now and then saying, “Although I love you, I want SO much more for you.”
Stop 7: Pleasure Island
The heart of living an SCS lifestyle is embracing pleasure. It’s about indulging your senses and your culinary palette to discover what delights you. Prepare for an indulgent week!
Stop 8: The Festival of Delight
“The best gift you can give yourself is to lighten up.” (Pema Chodrom) Nothing is more attractive than a woman enjoying herself. This week, we rediscover fun, play and presence.
Stop 9: On the Avenue
Authentic style is the outward presentation of your inner beauty and truth. This week, you learn to start dressing and interacting with the world in an intentional way.
Stop 10: Stamp That Passport
Congratulations, you arrive at the Sweet Spot! Skip the souvenir shop, baby. You’re home for good! This final week, we review how to stay here and truly make SCS your new reality.

If you’ve ever wanted to be a part of this program or you’re looking for a lifestyle immersion experience that will teach you the exact principles of living like a slim, chic and savvy woman, don’t miss out.
I understand how scary it can be buying something online. However, after experiencing the power of this program, as well as leading over 100 women through the experience, I believe in this program with my whole heart.
I believe in it so much that I am offering you a 14 Day money back guarantee.
But, here’s the deal. I only want to work with women who are committed, because part of “getting real” is realizing no experience is going to save you. You have to be willing to invest the time and effort into yourself.
Let me be really clear. Slim, Chic & Savvy is not another diet. It is not another how-to. It’s a game-changing experience that requires your commitment to YOURSELF. So if you just want to “try it out” without taking it seriously, this program is NOT for you.
However, if you enroll in the program and complete all of the assignments, and after 14 days, you feel that I am not delivering everything I said I would and/or the program is not a good fit, I will refund your money. However, you will be asked to show proof of completed assignments since the program is only as effective as the effort you put into it.
“Even though I was confident before, my sense of self-appreciation is stronger than ever. AND…..during the program I signed up the biggest “baddest” amazing corporate client ever – to do a full year of customized leadership training for 3 sales teams in 3 locations. And a colleague wants to translate some of my products into French for us to market together. I think my increased joie de vivre pulled them to me because I did absolutely no selling at all– they came to me. It’s bodacious living in style.“
-Laura Camache

“As a result of SCS, I’ve changed physically — and it’s not just about weight, either. As of today, I’ve lost 25 pounds. I have a light in my eyes and my soul that continues to grow and shine each day; that comes from the power of being at the helm of my thoughts and intentions. Each and every morning, that SCS lesson arrived and affirmed over and over again that freedom, joy and beauty would come from an internal place. Learning to own this way of living is revolution and evolution for me; I’m happier and more energetic than I’ve been in my whole life and am insatiably curious and excited by what else I can create. Friends and family notice this — I’m getting the “so, what are you doing to feel / look like you do?” and the best thing I can offer them when I explain my journey is that it’s a gift everyone can receive. You give it to yourself.”
-Laura Wagner

“Life is looking less like a chore and more like an adventure. The Slim, Chic, and Savvy Immersion literally walked me towards my new path in the sense that I had time to really think about myself and what I actually want out of my life.”
-Stephanie Coradin – Administrative Specialist
www.demboinc.com
“I realize that the program has done its work almost without my working at it. Yes, I’ve read the assignments, and I’ve done most of the homework, but this program definitely does not feel like hard work, and yet the results are so far-reaching. Also, interestingly, I thought that the one thing I was not going into this program to deal with was food, and yet my relationship with food has probably been the most transformed. I feel so strong and proud of everything I’ve accomplished and how far I’ve come towards being the SCS woman I want to be.”
- Sarah Goshman

“I have a young son. I have a great husband and a “good” job. I have a “side” business. But I was just feeling restless, so I signed up for the Slim, Chic and Savvy Immersion after following Tonya’s blog for a little less than a year. As a result of SCS, I am much more aware of myself. I acknowledge my power more than I ever have and I am also more forgiving of myself. I see that my life is really a journey rather than a “to-do” list. And, it’s been really inspirational to have the community of other women sharing their journey.”
-Michelle Griswold
“Some of the results of working with Tonya are: loss of weight, strength building, total body conditioning – overall? Building a better body and loving it! Self-confidence, self-motivation, fear of completion has been ousted by the euphoria of completion. Other results? Having taken up running after a 28 year lapse, I’ve now competed in two 5k events, and this year in June, I completed a Half Marathon in Seattle – I’m now contemplating Senior Games in Utah this fall where I’ll complete in my age group – 65-69. Wish me luck on clicking that entry button! (FEAR doesn’t go away, I’m just learning to recognize that it doesn’t usually speak the truth!)”
- Dianna Woolley
“Four months later, I find I am engaged in life again. I am also writing again in a new, healthier way. My writing is no longer about the end product or result but rather about the joy of playing with words and creating a story that is important to me. Tonya’s daily lessons provided me with a kind of structure that I needed when I was floundering. I even chose to attend a writers retreat in Paris and had the chutzpah to ask Shakespeare and Company ( a famous bookstore in Paris) to carry my book and they agreed! The most pivotal part of this program was when Tonya suggested we do just one scary thing. When I did my scary thing, I had the most amazing a-ha moment, realizing how I’d built up the fear inside of me and that the scary thing was not scary at all.”
-Toni De Palma
“Tonya delivers AND delivers good stuff…actually REALLY great stuff. . This is Stuff that my mom , my girlfriends, a mentor, a teacher should have taught me growing up… really, like the behind-the-scenes of really being a woman! And not just a woman. But truly embrace my feminine, own it, work it. Love it…. I feel like I’ve grown into myself. Like I’ve blossomed( I guess a late bloomer) but it really gave me finally in my life the permission to be ME! Tonya’s daily love blasts as I like to call them… it was like an angelic voice on my shoulder everyday saying you can do it, you can be it, you can live it. I felt so good reading them they just made me want to say YES, I’ll have more of that please. Every day I’d be like she can’t top that and then boom… another blast would come the next day and I was ohh, yes she did. I feel like we’re best friends and I have never met her live. For me her style of living and how she combines it with looking good, feeling good, luxury, love, sophistication, fashion mixed with a little new age, personal development, success strategies and all things feminine and sexy is just fascinating and fun! These blasts, this information, the way Tonya presents it should be a requirement for ALL woman wanted to live NOW! I am finally doing that myself, living now…”
-Lisa Persico
“I signed up for the Immersion program because I wanted support and guidance in trying to make some changes in my life. I had signed up for other coaching programs but they were not as lengthy or as much of a commitment, and I instinctively knew that this was something else, a different kind of program. I struggled long and hard with my “sweet spot words”. This was really a painful exercise, as it is about unfulfilled dreams…. but being forced into it was the best thing. It has really helped me to excavate the “authentic me” – the one who I already am… it has just been covered over by miles of bad road….. The lesson of learning to think, see and do everything OUT from the sweet spot has been incredibly valuable. My favourite element of this program was the constant reiteration of the single most important fact – which is that this is a MENTAL game – everything takes place in thought – either in the direction we want to go, or away from it- and that is where we have to do the work. I liked the way this fact was reiterated over and over different ways on different days, depending on the theme of the week. I believe that this is true. I highly recommend this program – if you do the work it cannot help but be life-changing. Tonya is so willing to address any topic on the group calls, and her experience as a life coach means she’s right on top of you if your thinking flies off course!”
-Gayle Herrington
“This program has taught me to think differently on so many different levels and has really been a life-changing experience. I have gained a sense of control, and feel so empowered….. and it happened week by week, as I made my way through the daily lessons and applied them gently and lovingly, not forcefully, or in a way that felt like I was tricking my body. I feel lighter in so many more ways than just the actual pounds – and yes, there is that too!”
-Kathi Randall
“I have lost thirty-two pounds, given away my “fat clothes” for the first time in my life, and invested in a new wardrobe, even though ultimately I would welcome losing another twenty pounds (if my body chooses to release them). SCS has helped me move away from those habits. As I release attachment to other people’s opinions of me, I have found greater joy, peace, and weight loss without fear and obsession. I have worked with Tonya in three different formats, and I realize that my changes have been like peeling layers from an onion. I could not even begin to think of “eating only when hungry,” for example, until we’d first dealt with the absolute panic I used to feel whenever I did feel hunger. I used to think I’d be happy when I lost weight, but the truth has been, I began to lose weight (and the obsession around food) when I felt happy.”
- Sheri Sinykin
“I didn’t enter this program needing to lose weight. I had recently lost the 30 pounds that I needed to lose to be at a healthy weight. What I needed was a solution to keep the weight off! I had tried every diet (almost) out there. Suzanne Somers, Flat Belly, South Beach, Atkins, to name a few…but the problem was that after losing the weight I’d always gain it back! Since I had recently lost the weight, I was looking for an answer to “how do I LIVE at this weight?” What do I do now that I wasn’t restricted by whatever program I had just finished and had to go back to living my “normal life?” I found great advice and wisdom to live by from Tonya. I am almost a year post weight lose and have kept it off. And you know what? It’s not hard! I just think, “what would my Slim, Chic, Savvy Self do?”
-Suellen Demaline
“While I have spent hundreds of hours in workshops, training, therapy sessions and other personal and professional growth endeavors, this was my first experience with an online coaching group. My experience in this group far exceeded any expectations (and I have really high standards!).”
-Kayce Hughlett, MA, LMHC
“SCS was the best money I’ve ever spent on myself.I learned more about myself going through the SCS program than if I had spent years in therapy! I learned how to live in the present and that has been such a gift; I learned to love myself (that has been SUPER huge); and I have lost 35 pounds. I feel strong!”
- Sarah Thacker
“I now stand taller and walk prouder knowing that I’m doing the work internally which will be reflected externally both physically and mentally. I have clarity and energy where there once was self-loathing and binging.”
- Dana Johnson
“This program will change your life. SCS will give you the tools and the support to make it happen and to be a success.”
- Verena Starke
“This is a program I can definitely recommend to my friends.”
- Maria Frias
“Tonya’s approach has helped me figure out how I want to be living my life…from the little to the big. Her caring ways and insights have helped me immeasurably. I have incorporated many of her suggestions, including determining my intentions, learning to check in during the day to see how I am feeling and make corrections as needed. She is a wonderful role model in terms of showing how dreams and desires can become a delicious reality when using some focus and effort. Tonya emphasizes being a food snob….but actually, I’ve also become more of a “life” snob in terms of letting what’s not important to me fall away if possible. “Important” means….alignment with my goals combined with a certain amount of fun and pleasure. An important ingredient to all this is accepting my unique self and figuring out how I want to celebrate that.”
-Karen Meredith
“At the time I was considering signing up for SCS, I was stuck! My head was filled with things I had learned about living my best life. The SCS Immersion program was the first program that I’ve encountered that actually walks you through the steps and gives you “adventures” to practice the ways of enriching your life. As a result, I am now moving forward with enthusiasm to make the myriad of choices I have to really make life happen. I am more focused on my intentions and work step by step to turn those intentions into reality. It’s impacted the rest of my life by making me more open to all the possibilities out there, knowing the only limitations are self-imposed. Every lesson, every assignment was an adventure. I think my favorite part was that we always had a connection to Tonya through e-mails and coaching calls…we weren’t given the information and then abandoned as so many other programs tend to do.”
-Susan Mushkin
“Having tried loads of different approaches I worried this would be a fairly expensive folly were I to get nothing out of it. But then I found a vibrant, accomplished and solid person inside of myself. I learned to trust my body – really listen to it and respect my native wisdom. It sounds like a very subtle shift – but that shift was mind-blowing and freeing in a way I’d never encountered. And this new connection affects not just eating and exercise – but how I live my life entirely: how I am in relationships and what I deploy my energy towards.”
- Wendy Hammond
“Every morning, I would smile with anticipation as I opened my email to receive that day’s reading. I LOVED reading each day’s lesson. It was juicy, informative, fun, life-giving and challenging all at the same time. Even though we’ve never met in person, I feel like I know you. Your writings are like living room conversation. Without a doubt, I know you want nothing but the very best for each woman in this program, and it was your mission to give yourself 100%. I am reminded of the power of my thoughts creating my reality. That instead of sitting in a situation that I don’t enjoy, I have the power to manifest a new reality, simply by making a new game plan, a new feeling, a new blueprint to how I want to experience my life.”
- Jill Tanis
“My 41st birthday was approaching, and I gave myself the program as a gift. I wanted to open myself up to something new and different before I became stuck in my ways. I also wanted to beat my sugar addiction once and for all. I have noticed what a difference recording my gratitudes have made in my life – it’s made me so much more appreciative of what I have. I have begun to look at things very differently. My favorite part of the program was definitely the weekend excursions – I started out with a bit of guilt, but then came to really enjoy them and look forward to them.”
- Cheryl Fernandes
“I took part in SCS because I felt out of control in a few aspects of my life. The experience felt natural and made me think deeply about all sorts of things. Tonya taught me to enjoy food (I used to eat too much, too fast, without tasting it, often while working at the computer). Now I relish it. I learned to respond to my body’s cues. I lost a dress size very quickly and am now getting steadily healthier and slimmer. Just as important, SCS gave me the impetus to launch my new website for women in mid-life and older, women like me who want make the last decades of our lives rich and full.”
- Tess Giles Marshall
“I actually feel really great about the track that my life is on now, but I always enjoy Tonya’s approach, and I learn & grow every time I do the program! I’m more confident. I make more of an effort to have fun, calm myself down & just enjoy my life more! I love the daily lessons. the bite-size nuggets that I can incorporate into my life day by day. And they are fun! I am much more apt to design my day around the things that matter to me, instead of letting life just happen to me. I’m excited about life and all of the opportunities & adventures that await!”
