    Oct 8 2025

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.Therapy ResourcesTherapy For Black GirlsAlmaGrow TherapyInclusive Therapists Directory: https://www.inclusivetherapists.com/ Black Female Therapists Directory: https://blackfemaletherapists.com/Journal prompts: https://www.chloejflowers.com/blog/2020/6/8/journaling-prompts-for-black-healingSelf-Love Workbook for Black WomenAdditional ResourcesHey!

  • 429 | You Are the Prize: Dating with Standards and Non-Negotiables | Pep Talk Wednesdays
    Sep 24 2025

    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.

  • 428 | Put Them on Mute: Protecting Your Peace in Group Chats & Social Spaces. You Don’t Owe Everyone Access to You
    Sep 24 2025

    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 Takeaways

    1. You 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. Community Doesn’t Require Overextension – True friends and healthy groups will respect your limits and not demand more than you can give.
