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.

What are your intentions for the month? Have you taken the time to reflect on how you can be more intentional in your daily life?

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.

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 Takeaways

1. 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.

Tell her thank you. Tell her you love her. And tell her it’s okay to rest now.

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:

1. Rest is not a reward — it’s a right.
2. Taking breaks can boost your creativity and productivity, not block it.
3. If you’re not careful, constantly “doing” can cause you to miss the life you're actually living.

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.
