Summary

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.

0:00.0	When I was younger, I used to think that I was ready to date if I was bored, finally over the last dude, and just had some cute outfits lined up.
0:09.8	But baby, dating takes energy. It takes clarity. It takes capacity. And I learned the hard way that if I wasn't full of those things on my own, I'd go looking for someone or some things to fill the gap.
0:26.5	I remember putting my whole identity into a relationship because I didn't have goals of my own to chase.
0:33.4	And that's when I realized I was trying to skip the foundation.
0:38.2	So I slowed down and asked myself five honest questions.

1:46.5	Am I whole enough to be a partner to someone else and show up fully in that relationship
1:55.8	each and every day?
1:59.6	And without thinking about these questions that I just mentioned to you guys,
