Summary

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.”

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.
