Have you ever stopped to think about how you learned love — not through words, but through what you absorbed from the men who raised you? In today’s episode, Tyra explores how our early experiences with father figures — whether tender or tough — shaped our emotional language. Together, we unpack what it means to redefine love on your own terms and give yourself permission to want softness, consistency, and presence.

This week’s Affirmation is: “I deserve softness — in how I speak to myself, how I love, and how I’m loved in return.”

3 Biggest Takeaways

1. Love is often absorbed, not taught — and that impacts how we show up emotionally.
2. You’re allowed to crave love that feels emotionally safe, expressive, and affirming.
3. Redefining love for yourself isn’t betrayal — it’s healing.

Ever feel like celebration has to be earned? Like you need to hit a big milestone, reach a goal, or have something extraordinary happen before you’re allowed to feel proud?

In today’s Pep Talk Wednesday, Tyra is giving you full permission to stop waiting.

This episode is all about honoring yourself now — not later. Whether you checked something off your to-do list, showed up for yourself emotionally, or simply made it through the day — that deserves to be seen.

Tyra shares why celebration is more than a party — it’s a practice. One that helps you rewrite old narratives, embrace joy in your present, and stop tying your worth to constant achievement.

Pep Talk Challenge:

Celebrate something this week that no one else can see but you — and do it in a way you haven’t done in a long time.

✨ Maybe it’s your consistency.

✨ Maybe it’s emotional growth.

✨ Maybe it’s getting out of bed when you didn’t feel like it.

Whatever it is, honor it on purpose.

It doesn’t have to cost a thing — it just has to be meaningful to you.

Post your celebration moment and tag @affirmationsforblackgirls so I can cheer you on! 🥂

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.”

1. Dating from a place of self-abandonment leads to confusion, codependency, and settling for less than you deserve.
2. Building a strong relationship with yourself — your money, body, routines, and goals — lays the foundation for real love.
3. You don’t find yourself in a relationship. You bring yourself into it — whole, clear, and grounded.
