Affirmations for Black Girls

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 TakeawaysReflection 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.

Why do so many Black women get told their pain is “normal” when it’s anything but? In this episode, Tyra sits down with pelvic floor therapist Dr. Janelle Fredrick 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.

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 TakeawaysFriendships 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.

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. Pep Talk Challenge: Do one thing this week that reconnects you with your roots.

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 TakeawaysPerfectionism 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.

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.

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 TakeawaysRecognize 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.

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. If you’ve been considering therapy, take that first step. If you’re already in therapy, reflect on how you can dive deeper and make the most out of it.

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. ResourcesHey! Have you heard of ClassPass?

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 TakeawaysYou 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.

This week’s Affirmation is: “Every misstep is a setup for something sweeter.”Get The Book: Fake It Til you Bake It3 Biggest TakeawaysBaking 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.

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.

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?

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 Takeaways1. 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Challenge of the Week ✨ Pick one corner of your home — a nightstand, a shelf, your desk — and make it yours. Add something that feels like you: a candle, a framed photo, a plant, a quote you love. Don’t overthink it. Just set the intention that this spot is for joy.

In today’s episode, Tyra shares how she turned her apartment into a cozy little coffee shop — just because. No big milestone, no birthday, just vibes. She dives into how hosting has become her love language, why choosing joy is an intentional act, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who celebrate you for simply being.If you’ve ever felt like joy had to be earned or reserved for “special occasions,” this episode is your permission slip to celebrate life as it is. Because sometimes the most meaningful parties are the ones with no reason at all. This week’s Affirmation is “ Making room for joy will allow it to find me.” 3 Biggest Takeaways: Hosting is an Unofficial Love LanguageEven though it's not one of the “official” five, hosting blends all of them — acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation, and physical touch — into one meaningful experience that shows love through presence, intention, and ambiance. Joy Doesn’t Need a Reason — Just RoomYou don’t have to wait for a birthday or achievement to celebrate. Making space for joy in your everyday life is an act of resistance, peace, and self-love. Light the candles. Set the vibe. You’re allowed. The Right Community Will Match Your EnergyWhen you're surrounded by people who truly see and love you, celebration becomes natural. You won’t have to perform or plan around perfection — they’ll show up for your joy just as you show up for theirs.

In this episode, Tyra dives into the power of decluttering—not just your space, but your mind and heart too. If something is draining you more than it’s filling you, it’s time to reevaluate. From unhealthy relationships to limiting beliefs to that pile of things you “might need one day,” we’re breaking down what it means to truly let go and make space for what aligns with you. This week’s Affirmation is “when I let go of what is not for me, I create space to discover what is” 3 Biggest Takeaways: Your space reflects your mind. A cluttered environment often mirrors a cluttered emotional state.Letting go isn’t just about removing things—it’s about making room for something better.The things you’re afraid to release might be the very things holding you back.

What boundaries are you setting in your own DND era? It’s time to move with intention—welcome to Tyra’s DND era. In this episode, she breaks down why she’s done overextending herself in relationships, career, and mental health. No more pouring from an empty cup, no more saying “yes” just because there’s a check attached, and no more guilt for needing quiet moments to reset. This week’s Affirmation is “If it drains me, it’s not for me.” 3 Biggest Takeaways from This Episode:Boundaries are necessary, not optional. Whether in relationships or friendships, being upfront about needs and expectations protects peace. Not every opportunity is worth the hustle. Just because it pays doesn’t mean it aligns—fulfillment matters just as much as financial gain. Routines should evolve with you. Life is always shifting, and the systems in place should shift too—there’s no shame in needing to reset.
