    406 | Entering My Do Not Disturb Era: If It Drains Me, It is NOT for Me. Prioritizing Myself & Protecting My Peace at ALL COSTS.

    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.

    404 | You’re Not Waiting on God, He's Waiting on YOU. Learning That Faith Isn’t Passive & Recognizing God’s Signs, Overcoming Fear, and Taking Action Today

    Feel like you’re stuck in a waiting game, praying for a sign or the just the “right” moment to act? What if the opportunity you’re waiting for is already here, but doubt is holding you back from stepping into it? Opportunities don’t always arrive with bells and whistles and fear is often the invisible barrier keeping us stuck. True faith is being able to move with trust and intention, let God meet you exactly where you are. This week’s Affirmation is “I am open to opportunities, even if they don’t look like what I expected.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Faith Requires Action: Faith isn’t about sitting still and waiting for things to fall into place. It’s about trusting that God has laid the foundation and taking the steps He’s waiting for you to take. Perfection Isn’t the Goal: Stop waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect version of yourself. Perfection doesn’t exist, but progress does. Move forward with faith and trust that God will meet you where you are. Discern When to Move vs. Be Still: While some seasons call for stillness, others require you to take action. Pray for clarity and courage to know when it’s your time to step out in faith and get the ball rolling.

In this Pep Talk Wednesday episode, we’re diving into the power of rest, the importance of prioritizing joy, and redefining success on your own terms. Your worth isn’t something you earn—it’s already yours, baby.
