	506 \| Every Woman Should Live Alone Atleast Once \| What Living Alone Taught Me About Myself: Redefining Independence, and Making Room for the Right Kind of Love	31 Aug 2026	01:06:21
In this episode, Tyra is reflecting on one of the most transformative chapters of her life: living alone. After five years in her apartment, she reflects on how having a space that is completely her own has taught her more than just independence. It’s taught her what she likes, what she needs, what she won’t compromise on, and what she actually wants from a partner. Because the goal of living alone isn’t to prove that you don’t need anybody. It’s to know that you can take care of yourself and still want somebody to do life with. Tyra also talks about dating while living alone, the “single tax,” hyper-independence, and why knowing yourself before sharing your life with someone else can change everything. This week’s Affirmation is: “I trust myself to build a life that feels good to me.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Living alone teaches you who you are. When you’re not constantly accommodating someone else, you get the space to discover your preferences, routines, boundaries, and what genuinely makes your life feel good. Independence doesn’t mean you don’t want partnership. You can know you’re fully capable of taking care of yourself and still want someone to share life with. The goal isn’t to need nobody—it’s to choose someone because they add to the life you’ve already built. Partnership should require compromise, not self-abandonment. Knowing yourself makes it easier to recognize what you’re willing to compromise on and what you’re not. You should be able to build a life with someone without losing the person you became on your own.

	504 \| What You, Me, & Tuscany Taught Me About Love..	11 May 2026	00:32:34
Have you ever watched a movie and realized it wasn’t just entertaining you… it was reflecting parts of your own life back to you? In today’s episode, Tyra shares the love lessons she took away from You Me and Tuscany, from realizing that love should feel safe and peaceful, to understanding that the right love doesn’t require you to become someone else to receive it. This conversation is a reminder that love isn’t just about being chosen… it’s also about choosing what truly aligns with you. This week’s Affirmation is: “I deserve a love that feels safe.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Love that’s meant for you won’t constantly leave you confused or emotionally exhausted The right love allows you to be fully yourself, not a performance version of who you think you need to be Attraction alone isn’t enough.

	Celebrating Our Lost Loved Ones Through The Power of 'Good Grief': Navigating Grief with Grace, Embracing Healing and Positivity, & Honoring Legacy and Cherished Memories \| REWIND	27 Apr 2026	00:41:40
In today's Rewind Episode, we revist when Tyra experienced a great loss, the matriarch of her family, Grandma Willie Mae. She talks about the powerful journey of navigating grief and embracing healing in this heartfelt episode. This week’s affirmation is: “My Life is Beautiful and worth being lived to its fullness.” Biggest Takeaways: Honoring Life's Fullness: Tyra emphasizes that grief isn't solely tied to the loss of a loved one. It's a complex emotion that can arise from various life experiences, including the passing of cherished dreams and societal challenges. Affirmations as Tools of Resilience: In times of grief, Tyra introduces the affirmation "My Life is Beautiful and worth being lived to its fullness." She explores how affirmations act as tools for resilience, helping us reframe our perspectives and navigate the healing process. Through this lens, we can find beauty in the midst of pain, and by acknowledging the challenges, we pave the way for transformation. Embracing the Journey of Healing: Tyra emphasizes that grief is both a challenging and beautiful journey. It's a process that requires time, self-compassion, and a willingness to lean into the emotions that come with loss. By understanding that healing is not linear and that "good grief" is possible, we can emerge from grief with a deeper sense of self and a renewed appreciation for life's most meaningful moments.

	503 \| Girl to Girl… Love Will Find You Soon	14 Apr 2026	00:19:41
Girl to girl… I hope the love you pray for finds you soon. Not the surface-level kind. Not the kind that looks good but leaves you confused. I’m talking about the kind of love that lets you exhale. The kind that feels steady, safe, and certain. The kind that doesn’t make you question how you show up. In this episode, Tyra is having a real, honest conversation about being in the in-between — that space where you’re no longer going back to what hurt you, but you haven’t yet stepped into the love you desire. This week’s Affirmation is: “I will not sabatoge what I prayed for.” Tyra opens up about: Letting go of “almost” and “potential” Why going backwards is not an option when God already pulled you out The difference between love and emotional attachment How inconsistency creates confusion (and why that’s not love) Trusting that your heart isn’t “too much”—it’s intentional Community Connection Links Sign up for the Community Newsletter!: www.tyrathecreative.com/podcast Join the AFBG Book Club: https://tyrathecreative.myflodesk.com/xkz6bzvn29 Shop the AFBG Merch!: http://tyrathecreative.com/merch Letters From Listeners Form: https://forms.gle/yqwdsBuRBjXQm9Xw7 Subscriber Survey: https://forms.gle/m4AD2YaYbGhd8gEv6 Resources Shop Tyra’s Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tyrathecreative Here’s a free trial of ClassPass (with 20 bonus credits!): https://shop.tyrathecreative.com/classpass Listen to Lofi Beats for Deep Focus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfBhamgkCww&t=2222s Defeating Doubt Playlist https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/defeating-doubt/pl.u-PDb408VtJyb1Po Wanna give therapy a try?

	502 \| God Won't Allow Me to Settle For Less	02 Mar 2026	00:29:44
Have you ever tried to make something work so badly… only for it to fall apart anyway? In this episode, Tyra talks about the uncomfortable but necessary truth: sometimes the reason it didn’t work out is because God wouldn’t let you settle. Whether it’s relationships that almost made it, opportunities that looked good on paper, friendships that slowly faded, or spaces that felt “good enough” but not aligned — this conversation is about divine disruption. The closed doors. The redirection. The feeling of “why is this so hard?” When you’re just trying to make something stick. This week’s Affirmation is: “God, raise my standards to match Your promises.” Tyra unpacks: The difference between contentment and settling Trusting redirection, even when it bruises your ego Letting go of “almost” in order to receive alignment If you’ve been frustrated because nothing mediocre seems to last in your life… maybe that’s the point. This episode is your reminder that not everything that leaves is a loss. Sometimes it’s protection. Sometimes it’s preparation. And sometimes… it’s proof that you’re called to more.

	501 \| 1 Month Ago, My Life Changed Forever..	26 Feb 2026	00:26:51
In this episode, Tyra is giving y’all a real life update and sharing where she's been. She's officially a new dog mom...again! What she thought would simply be “aww, cuddles and companionship” has turned into responsibility, structure, interrupted sleep, emotional growth, and a whole new level of self-awareness. Tyra needed companionship. She needed something to nurture. What she didn’t expect was how much it would stretch her. We’re talking about: The shock of sudden responsibility How your life really changes when someone depends on you The identity shift that comes with becoming a caregiver Why companionship sometimes comes with growing pains Learning to adjust when the blessing feels overwhelming This episode is honest. It’s tender. It’s a little “what did I just do?” and a lot of “okay… we’re growing.” If you’re in a season where your life just shifted, whether it’s a new pet, new relationship, new job, new city, or a new version of yourself, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the answered prayer is also the stretching season.

	Season 5: Do You Really Trust God? Releasing Fear & Control, Learning to Trust FULLY, and Entering your Alignment Era Because What God Has For You is Greater than your Plans.	12 Feb 2026	00:08:12
What happens when you have faith in your prayers… but fear in your posture? 2026 marks Season 5 of the Affirmations for Black Girls Podcast, and this year feels different. Last season was about stepping into “Big Deal” energy — moving boldly, raising standards, and owning every room. But this season? It’s about what happens after the confidence. It’s about releasing control. After realizing she was carrying faith in her prayers but fear in her posture, Tyra is entering a new era — one rooted in alignment, surrender, and deeper trust in God’s timing. This season explores high-functioning anxiety, Type A tendencies, the pressure of personal timelines, and the quiet fear of “what if it doesn’t happen for me?” It’s about believing that what God has planned isn’t smaller than your dreams — it’s exceedingly, abundantly above them. No more gripping the wheel. No more negotiating with God. No more mistaking control for responsibility. Season 5 is about being anchored — in faith, in identity, and in the truth that what’s meant for you will never miss you. This year, we’re not forcing. We’re aligning. This isn’t a season of passivity. It’s a season of obedience. Of surrender and of deeper trust.

	449 \| Why are You Playing Small? It’s Time to Embrace Your Boldness: Why You Deserve to Take Up Space, Feel Seen, and Be Heard	29 Dec 2025	00:36:53
Playing small is costly, and this episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking, stop apologizing for your brilliance, and step fully into your boldness. Tyra breaks down what it means to take up space, trust your value, and carry Big Deal Energy into 2026. If you’re ready to step fully into your life, show up unapologetically, and leave behind hesitation and self-doubt, this episode serves as your roadmap. This week’s Affirmation is: “I am the main character in my story.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Taking up space starts with YOU: You can’t expect the world to see your worth if you don’t first honor your own presence. Boldness isn’t always loud: Sometimes it’s internal, quiet, and about choosing yourself even when no one is clapping. Imposter syndrome can’t stop you: Name it, document your wins, reframe failure, and visualize yourself confidently taking up space.

What does it really mean when the pain you’ve been brushing off suddenly has a name? In Part Two, Tyra and Dr. Janelle dive deeper into the conditions so many women silently live with: endometriosis, vaginismus, vulvodynia, pelvic tension, and the emotional stress that makes everything worse. They also explore how movement, breath, and nervous system regulation play a role in healing. Takeaways: Your body keeps score — and it also tries to tell the truth.

	445 \| Living Far Away From Home: Redefining What “Home” Means When You’ve Outgrown It \| Feeling Disconnected This Holiday Season	08 Dec 2025	00:42:48
Have you ever felt like you’ve outgrown your hometown, but still carry it in your heart? In this episode, Tyra reflects on the delicate balance of loving where you’re from while stepping into who you’re becoming. From creating home moments in new spaces to redefining traditions and embracing growth, she shares personal stories, lessons learned, and practical ways to feel connected even when you’re far from home. This week’s Affirmation is: “It is safe for me to outgrow what once felt familiar.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Reflection is a form of self-respect: acknowledging your roots while making space for who you’re becoming. Growth often requires leaving comfort behind, and that’s okay. Outgrowing a place doesn’t mean abandoning it. Home is a feeling, not a zip code, it can live in memories, traditions, and the life you intentionally build for yourself.

In this episode, Tyra sits down with pelvic floor therapist Dr. Janelle Frederick to break down the symptoms so many of us have been taught to ignore — from chronic cramps to painful intimacy to stress responses we don’t even realize we’re carrying. Together, they dig into how hormones, stress, and the pelvic floor all connect, and why understanding your body is the first step to real relief. Takeaways: Listening to your body is an act of self-respect. Your pain has a source — and it deserves attention. Knowing what’s happening in your body is a form of empowerment.

	442 \| Am I a Good Friend?? Friendship Lessons: Growing, Letting Go, and Showing Up	24 Nov 2025	00:47:20
Are you truly a good friend? Answer honestly. In this episode, Tyra dives into the complexities of friendship, how to evaluate your role, grow from evolving connections, and intentionally cultivate meaningful bonds. She shares personal stories about childhood friends, new friendships in adulthood, and the lessons she’s learned about showing up and keeping your side of the street clean. This week’s Affirmation is: “I am open to giving and receiving the kind of friendship that feels like home.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Friendships have levels and seasons—acquaintances, seasonal friends, core/inner circle, mirror friends, and distant friends—and understanding these helps you navigate your energy and expectations. Being a good friend starts with self-reflection: emotional availability, consistency, honesty, reciprocity, and accountability. The small, surface-level debates (splitting the check, RSVPs, birthdays) matter less than being intentional, communicative, and showing up authentically.

	441 \| Homecoming: Slowing Down to Reconnect with Roots, Family, and Self \| Pep Talk Wednesdays	19 Nov 2025	00:23:45
In this week’s Pep Talk Wednesday, Tyra gets honest about what it meant to go back home for the first time in a long time — not for a quick visit, but for an extended stay that her spirit didn’t even know it was craving. This episode explores the quiet magic of slowing down, stepping away from the noise, and letting your roots remind you who you are. From porch conversations and grocery store rides with her momma to the familiar sound of cicadas and family showing up unannounced (like always!), Tyra reflects on how going home helped her breathe again, reconnect with her identity, and remember the grounded version of herself she hadn’t visited in a while.

Learn practical tools like Dopamine Menus, journaling, self-affirmations, and celebrating small wins to start honoring your worth and shining unapologetically. This week’s Affirmation is: “I am worthy of being seen and celebrated exactly as I am.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Insecurities aren’t flaws, they’re signals: They highlight the parts of ourselves that need love, attention, and celebration. Being seen starts with small, intentional steps: Journaling, Dopamine Menus, and accepting compliments help train your brain to recognize your value. Representation and self-acknowledgment are healing: Celebrating yourself, your quirks, and your uniqueness rewires confidence and joy, even in the face of societal pressures or internalized doubt.

	439 \| Done is Better Than Perfect \| Your Obsession With Getting it Right the First Time is Holding You Back. Overcoming Fear, Perfectionism, and Self-Doubt.	10 Nov 2025	00:40:10
Perfectionism isn’t productivity; it’s fear in disguise. In today’s episode, Tyra talks about releasing the pressure of getting everything right the first time and embracing progress over perfection. We break down the truth about perfectionism, how it’s often fear dressed up as productivity, discipline, or control, and explore how starting messy can unlock your next-level potential if you have a little audacity. This week’s Affirmation is: “I give myself permission to start messy & grow along the way.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Perfectionism is fear in disguise. It shows up dressed as productivity, discipline, control, or even “doing your best,” but underneath it’s really just fear: fear of failure, judgment, or not being enough. Recognizing that is the first step to freeing yourself. Done is better than perfect. Growth, learning, and creativity happen in the messy middle. The more you start, stumble, and iterate, the stronger and more confident you become. Waiting for perfection is the enemy of progress. Learning out loud builds resilience and connection. Sharing your imperfect journey, whether publicly or in a trusted space—helps you normalize trial and error, reframe mistakes as lessons, and create space for growth without letting fear hold you back.

	434 \| The Stories That Made Us: How Storytelling Heals Us Through Recipes, Memories & Family Stories That are Passed Down	20 Oct 2025	00:52:04
In this episode, Tyra explores the timeless power of storytelling and why it matters now more than ever. From family photo albums to recipes passed down like secret codes, stories are the glue that keeps our culture, creativity, and connections alive. She shares how journaling, audiobooks, and oral history not only preserve memories but also serve as a gift for future generations. This episode is a reminder that storytime isn’t just for kids, it’s for anyone who wants to stay rooted, inspired, and in touch with what truly matters. This week’s Affirmation is: “My experiences and my voice matter.” *Three Biggest Takeaways:* *Preserve Family and Cultural Heritage:* Stories, recipes, and oral histories are irreplaceable parts of our legacy—once they’re lost, they’re gone forever. *Storytelling as Self-Care and Growth:* Journaling, cooking, or listening to long-form stories engages the mind, strengthens memory, and nurtures creativity. *Build Community and Connection:* Sharing stories, hosting casual storytelling nights, or engaging in discussions keeps us connected, strengthens empathy, and fosters belonging across generations.

	433 \| Girl, Love Don’t Cost A Thing: Releasing Financial Stress & Learning How to Stop Over-Giving in Relationships	13 Oct 2025	00:43:16
In today’s episode, Tyra reflects on the financial stress she carried from past relationships and how it shaped her money habits. She shares honest stories from old romances where she often found herself as the provider, and how that mindset taught her lessons about boundaries, self-worth, and reclaiming control over her finances. This episode is about letting go of guilt, closing chapters that no longer serve you, and stepping into financial confidence. This week’s Affirmation is: “I make financial choices that support my goals and well-being.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Recognize how past relationships may have created unhealthy financial patterns, and that you can change them. Financial sacrifice does not equal love—learning to set boundaries around money is an act of self-respect. Letting go of guilt and old money stress makes space for confident, intentional financial choices that serve you. Resources Hey! Have you heard of ClassPass?

	432 \| Going to Therapy Doesn’t Mean You’re Broken, It Means You’re Growing \| Pep Talk Wednesdays	08 Oct 2025	00:16:01
Tyra dives deep into the power of therapy and mental health, breaking down the stigma that therapy means you're "broken." Instead, Tyra shows how therapy is an essential part of personal growth, empowerment, and becoming the best version of yourself. She encourages you to see therapy not as a sign of weakness, but as a tool for leveling up and embracing your full potential. Pep Talk Challenge: Embrace therapy as a tool for growth.

	428 \| Put Them on Mute: Protecting Your Peace in Group Chats & Social Spaces. You Don’t Owe Everyone Access to You	24 Sep 2025	00:38:35
Not every message, notification, or invite deserves your immediate attention… or any attention at all. In this episode, Tyra dives into the art of setting digital boundaries, pushing back against the unspoken pressure to always be “on,” and recognizing when group dynamics or constant availability are draining instead of nourishing. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not responding fast enough or said “yes” just to avoid being the odd one out, this conversation will give you permission to prioritize your peace, honor your limits, and find balance between connection and self-preservation. This week’s Affirmation is: “I choose to be present without being overly accessible.” 4 Biggest Takeaways You Don’t Owe Everyone Access to You or Your Time – Being constantly available isn’t the same as being dependable. Protecting your energy is an act of self-respect. Digital Boundaries Are Still Boundaries – Silence, delayed responses, or a polite “no” are valid ways of drawing the line, even in group chats and DMs. Choosing Rest During Moments of Social Overstimulation is Valid – Stepping back doesn’t make you antisocial; it makes you intentional about where and with whom you spend your energy. Community Doesn’t Require Overextension – True friends and healthy groups will respect your limits and not demand more than you can give.

	427 \| Healing Old Wounds and Finding Joy at 31 \| Happy Birthday To Me ✨	20 Sep 2025	00:34:45
In today’s episode, Tyra gets real about birthdays, healing old wounds, and learning to celebrate herself in ways she never thought possible. From a 5th-grade party where no one showed up, to her therapist pushing her to reclaim her joy, to dancing the night away at her 31st surrounded by family — this conversation is all about rewriting the stories we’ve carried for too long. This week’s affirmation: *“I choose to celebrate who I am becoming, not just who I’ve been.”* Biggest Takeaways A reminder that sometimes the people who matter most have been showing up all along. Permission to celebrate yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable. Hope that healing is possible in the most ordinary, joy-filled moments.

	423 \| Soft Life Summer School: Falling In Love with Moving Your Body & Learning How to Turn Exercise into a Ritual You Crave \| Pep Talk Wednesdays	13 Aug 2025	00:21:12
*In today’s Pep Talk, Tyra* is kicking off Soft Life Summer School! Class is in session! This is a laid-back series all about learning how to show up for yourself with more ease, grace, and self-love this season. Today’s lesson is all about movement. But not the “drag yourself to the gym and hate every minute” kind. We’re talking about movement as an act of self-care, connection, and joy. Tyra shares how she retrained her brain to see exercise as a ritual she craves instead of a chore she endures, plus how small, consistent actions (and a little community support) can turn working out into something you actually look forward to. Whether it’s boxing, run club, dancing in your living room, or walking with a friend, this is your mid-week reminder that your body deserves celebration, not punishment.

	422 \| Third Spaces Are Disappearing and Loneliness Is On The Rise \| Exploring Your City Like a Tourist & Build Connection Right Where You Are \| Pep Talk Wednesdays	30 Jul 2025	00:29:13
Third spaces — the coffee shops, gyms, libraries, and local spots where we casually connect with others — are disappearing, and it’s making us lonelier than ever. Over 60% of Americans say they feel lonely at least some of the time, and too many of us are stuck in the cycle of just home, work, and maybe church. In this Pep Talk Wednesday, Tyra shares how to break out of that cycle by exploring your city like a tourist and creating third (and even fourth!) spaces that help you feel alive and connected again. You’ll learn how to notice the beauty right where you are, how to find hidden gems you’ll actually enjoy, and how to start living a fuller life today. Pep Talk Challenge: Pick one place or activity in your city you’ve never experienced before and make a day of it. It can be a solo date, but it could also be fun to get the whole family involved. Bonus points if it costs nothing. Bring a journal. Be present. Take a picture for yourself if you want. Hey! Have you heard of ClassPass?

	421 \| What Getting Stranded in Atlanta Taught Me About Adventure \| When the Plan Falls Apart: Finding Peace in the Unexpected	22 Jul 2025	00:47:09
Ever found yourself stuck in a situation you didn’t plan for — one that felt like an inconvenience, but turned out to be a divine reset? In today’s episode, Tyra unpacks the quiet power of being still, letting go of control, and surrendering to what life is trying to teach you when everything feels off track. There’s wisdom waiting in the pause. This week’s Affirmation is: “I trust that every detour is a part of God’s divine direction.” 3 Biggest Takeaways 1. Stillness reveals what distraction hides. Being forced to pause allows us to finally hear what our spirit’s been trying to say beneath the noise. 2. Detours are often divine redirections. Just because it wasn’t the original plan doesn’t mean it’s not the right path. 3. Trust grows in the unknown. Surrendering control invites a deeper faith — one that doesn’t rely on certainty to feel grounded.

	420 \| Letting Go Isn’t Failure. It’s a New Beginning. Learning to Love Again After Grief & What Healing Really Looks Like \| Pep Talk Wednesdays	18 Jun 2025	00:20:14
What if letting go isn’t the end—but the beginning of something softer, stronger, and more honest? In today’s Pep Talk, Tyra reflects on grief, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to receive love again—drawing inspiration from Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan. This one’s for anyone learning to make peace with what didn’t last… and still open up to what could. Pep Talk Challenge: Write a letter to a version of yourself that you’ve outgrown. Tell her thank you. Tell her you love her. And tell her it’s okay to rest now.

	419 \| Pressing Pause & Learning to Reset. The Art of Slowing Down to Speed Up. The Power of Intentional Rest.	17 Jun 2025	00:39:03
What do you think about the sentiment less is more? In this week’s episode Tyra explores the power of doing less — and how that intentional slowing down can lead to more clarity, creativity, and peace. We’ve been taught that rest is something we have to earn, but what if rest is actually the secret to becoming our fullest selves? Through personal stories, gentle reminders, and a few hard truths, Tyra invites you to rethink your relationship with rest and reimagine what productivity can look like when it's rooted in presence instead of pressure. This week’s affirmation is “I choose peace over pressure, and presence over perfection.” 3 Biggest Takeaways from this episode: Rest is not a reward — it’s a right. Taking breaks can boost your creativity and productivity, not block it. If you’re not careful, constantly “doing” can cause you to miss the life you're actually living.

	418 \| Absorbing Love: How Our Fathers Shaped Our Emotional Blueprint	09 Jun 2025	00:45:41
Have you ever stopped to think about how you learned love — not through words, but through what you absorbed from the men who raised you? In today’s episode, Tyra explores how our early experiences with father figures — whether tender or tough — shaped our emotional language. Together, we unpack what it means to redefine love on your own terms and give yourself permission to want softness, consistency, and presence. This week’s Affirmation is: “I deserve softness — in how I speak to myself, how I love, and how I’m loved in return.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Love is often absorbed, not taught — and that impacts how we show up emotionally. You’re allowed to crave love that feels emotionally safe, expressive, and affirming. Redefining love for yourself isn’t betrayal — it’s healing.

	417 \| You Deserve to Be Celebrated. Making Joy A Habit & Celebrating Without Reason \| Pep Talk Wednesdays	04 Jun 2025	00:14:50
Ever feel like celebration has to be earned? Like you need to hit a big milestone, reach a goal, or have something extraordinary happen before you’re allowed to feel proud? In today’s Pep Talk Wednesday, Tyra is giving you full permission to stop waiting. This episode is all about honoring yourself now — not later. Whether you checked something off your to-do list, showed up for yourself emotionally, or simply made it through the day — that deserves to be seen. Tyra shares why celebration is more than a party — it’s a practice. One that helps you rewrite old narratives, embrace joy in your present, and stop tying your worth to constant achievement. Pep Talk Challenge: Celebrate something this week that no one else can see but you — and do it in a way you haven’t done in a long time. ✨ Maybe it’s your consistency. ✨ Maybe it’s emotional growth. ✨ Maybe it’s getting out of bed when you didn’t feel like it. Whatever it is, honor it on purpose. It doesn’t have to cost a thing — it just has to be meaningful to you. Post your celebration moment and tag @affirmationsforblackgirls so I can cheer you on! 🥂 Resources Alexis’ ‘Feeling My Shelf’ Newsletter: https://www.feelingmyshelfnewsletter.com/ 50 side quests to do this year - https://we.tl/t-gmLxjREKx4 Listen to the For Life’s Rainy Day Playlist Wanna give therapy a try?

	416 \| Before You Fall in Love Again… Ask Yourself These 5 Questions \| Am I ready to be a Partner? Your Love Life Deserves a Firm Foundation and it begins with YOU.	02 Jun 2025	00:40:22
In today’s episode, Tyra is pulling back the curtain on five life-check questions that you should ask yourself before jumping (back) into the dating world. From your relationship with money to your routines and future goals, this is the episode that’ll help you pause and really evaluate whether you’re ready for love—or just longing for a distraction. It’s real, it’s reflective, and a reminder that you're already worthy, with or without a partner. This week’s Affirmation is “ I choose love from overflow, not emptiness.” 3 Biggest Takeaways: Dating from a place of self-abandonment leads to confusion, codependency, and settling for less than you deserve. Building a strong relationship with yourself — your money, body, routines, and goals — lays the foundation for real love. You don’t find yourself in a relationship. You bring yourself into it — whole, clear, and grounded.

In today’s episode, Tyra is joined by Shanika, host of the Scratch Everything podcast, for a real and refreshing conversation about FOMO—the fear of missing out—and how it creeps into our minds, our decisions, and our peace. Together, they explore what it means to truly trust your timing, how to stop comparing your life to the highlight reels you see online, and why chasing alignment will always be more fulfilling than chasing what looks good on paper. Whether you’re in a season of waiting, stuck in a loop of comparison, or just feeling like you’re “behind,” this episode will remind you: you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Affirmation of the Week: “Joy lives in the present, and that’s where I choose to be.” 🔑 What You’ll Hear: How social media fuels comparison & how to set boundaries Why being “behind” is a myth Learning to say no to distractions that don’t serve your growth What it means to be present in your own timeline Find Shanika: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scratcheverythingpodcast/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@scratcheverything Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scratcheverything Resources Alexis’ ‘Feeling My Shelf’ Newsletter: https://www.feelingmyshelfnewsletter.com/ 50 side quests to do this year - https://we.tl/t-gmLxjREKx4 Listen to the For Life’s Rainy Day Playlist Wanna give therapy a try?

	414 \| Are You Living in Survival Mode?? Finding Safety, Softness & a New Way to Thrive \| Pep Talk Wednesday	21 May 2025	00:18:04
In today’s Pep Talk Wednesday, Tyra opens up about what it means to finally step out of survival mode and into a season of softness. For so long, life was about hustling, stretching every dollar, and just making it through the day. But now? There's space. Space to breathe, space to rest, space to just be. This episode is for the woman who’s noticing that her nervous system is finally calm. She’s walking slower, cooking more, laughing deeper — and realizing that this, too, is a form of success. If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down or unsure if you’re “doing enough,” this is your reminder: You’re not thriving because life is perfect — you’re thriving because you’re finally safe. Pep Talk Challenge: Write down some things your younger-you couldn’t even imagine having time or capacity for. Indulge in one of those things this week.
