September 24, 2025 429 | You Are the Prize: Dating with Standards and Non-Negotiables | Pep Talk Wednesdays
In today’s PEP TALK, Tyra breaks down the difference between “preferences” and “non-negotiables,” talks about why many settle for the bare minimum, and explores why having standards isn’t “too much”.

Pep Talk Challenge:
Spend time this week writing your Top 5 Non-Negotiables for any new relationship. Then, compare that list against a relationship in your life (romantic, platonic, or family) and ask: Am I honoring these, or have I compromised? Commit to holding firm in at least one boundary this week.

September 24, 2025428 | Put Them on Mute: Protecting Your Peace in Group Chats & Social Spaces. You Don’t Owe Everyone Access to You
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.

September 20, 2025427 | Healing Old Wounds and Finding Joy at 31 | Happy Birthday To Me ✨
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.

August 25, 2025425 | Why Mistakes Are the Recipe for Growth | Fake It Till You ‘Bake’ It: How to Fail Forward With Grace and Welcome Sweet Surprises into Your Life.
In today’s episode, Tyra is joined by Miss Tyra B (aka Tyra Too!), who is the creative mind behind the AFBG Book Club and newsletter, to dive into Fake It Till You Bake It by Jamie Wesley. Together, they unpack how life’s “flops” can actually become fertile ground for joy, creativity, and second chances when we give ourselves permission to begin again.

This week’s Affirmation is: “Every misstep is a setup for something sweeter.”
Get The Book: Fake It Til you Bake It
3 Biggest Takeaways
Baking is a lot like life. It takes patience, effort, and the courage to try again when things don’t turn out as planned.

Shift your perspective from “failing” to “failing forward”. Every setback is a lesson that pushes you closer to success.

Add a little sweetness into the messy parts of life. Whether it’s through gratitude, self-care, or small wins, joy is always worth baking in.

August 13, 2025 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
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.
