Summary

Are you ready to start falling in love with your life exactly as it is?

In this episode, Tyra breaks down the practical, realistic ways to romanticize your everyday and find joy in the ordinary. No marble countertops, no perfect aesthetic, just intentional moments that make your life feel softer, richer, and more yours. Whether you’re single, building your career, or just craving a little more delight in your daily life, this episode will guide you toward creating a life that truly loves you back.

This week’s Affirmation is: “I deserve a life that FEELS good.”

3 Biggest Takeaways

Romance is a skill, not an aesthetic: Not about trends or perfection, it’s about paying attention and savoring tiny moments.
Micro-rituals transform routines into joy: Small, intentional acts—lighting a candle, playing your favorite song, savoring coffee—reset your nervous system and elevate your mood.
Your life is rich and worthy of love right now: You don’t need anyone or anything else to validate it. Presence, intention, and gratitude are the keys to falling in love with your everyday.

0:00.0	Hey, what's up y'all? Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. My favorite thing about the holidays?
0:04.0	Dacking out my whole house. It's not a competition, but if it was, well, I'd win the season with Wayfair. Outdoor inflatable Santa? Got it on Wayfair. Trees, lights, and ornaments? Wayfair. Hosting must-havs, like dining sets, beds, sheets, and towels, Wayfair.
0:19.5	For everything in your style delivered with fast and free shipping,
0:22.6	visit Wayfair.com towels, Wayfair. For everything in your style delivered with fast and free shipping,
0:22.6	visit Wayfair.com or the Wayfair app to win the season. But again, it's not a competition.
0:28.0	Wayfair, every style, every home. Let me ask you a question. When was the last time you caught
0:33.5	yourself smiling at your own life? Not because of a milestone, not because something big
0:39.6	just happened, but simply because you felt good being you. I'll be honest. For me, it has been a little
0:46.9	minute. We are constantly fed the aesthetic routines online and we start believing that happiness requires marble countertops,
0:57.2	macha and milk frothers and a color-coded morning routine. But here is the truth that the
1:03.8	algorithm won't tell you. Romanticizing your life is not an aesthetic. It is actually a skill. Science tells us that your brain adapts to
1:14.2	dopamine hits, meaning the more that you chase excitement, the less excitement you actually will feel.
1:19.9	So if that's case, no wonder your life starts to feel dull, flat, and like a routine. The happiest people aren't the ones that are adding more to their daily lives.
1:31.1	They are the ones that are just paying better attention.
1:34.3	Every day, we're presenting with dozens of micro moments, tiny windows that can shift our
1:39.9	emotional state.
1:40.7	And what I've learned from befriending myself and falling in love with the woman
1:46.1	that I am becoming is this. Romance is simply your attention pointed back at your own life.
1:55.2	We have been sold the idea that romanticizing your life is all about the aesthetics. But neuroscience literally says
2:03.5	otherwise, y'all, when you slow down enough to savor something, anything, your brain releases
2:09.1	oxytocin and serotonin, the same chemicals tied to bonding and love, meaning you can literally
2:15.7	train your brain to fall in love with your life.
