Today we have a special guest on the pod! One of Tyra’s first friends in LA has stopped in for a little chat on the pod! We are having an open and candid conversation about Trust in Friendship.

This week’s Affirmation is “I deserve to have amazing people as my friends.”

Questions to Ask Yourself about your friend circle:

Who is your best friend? Why is this person your best friend?
Has a friend ever done something to make you question them or their character? Did you confront them about it or turn a blind eye?
Do you find yourself judging your friends secretly, if so why? Do you think they are judging you? And if so, why? Do you think this is a good trait to have or something that you need to work on?
Have you ever lied to a friend, if so why? Was it for their benefit or detriment? Did you tell them eventually about it if you did? Or if you didn’t, why didn’t you tell them?
Do you have more guy friends or girl friends?

Finding Healthy Boundaries in Dating and Romantic Relationships, Exercising Effective Communication, Exploring Non-Negotiables & Deal Breakers, and Learning How & When to Set Clearer Boundaries Feb 06, 2022

Show notes

Boundaries in dating are a person’s limits in a relationship. They allow each person to maintain their needs, space, individuality and health. Boundaries can be hard to create but ESSENTIAL in relationship, whether platonic or romantic. Today, our host, Tyra, shares some insight on how she realized she needed healthier boundaries in her romantic life and gives us some tools we can start implementing today that will help us build those fortified boundaries.

This week’s Affirmation is “ How people treat me is their karma; how I react is mine”

The Biggest Takeaways from Today’s Episode on finding healthy boundaries in Dating:

DECIDE HOW YOU FEEL: Decide and figure out what you will tolerate and not tolerate in your life. Anything that makes you question it or feel uneasy is a sign that this might be something you are uncomfortable with, and is outside of your boundaries. Decide what behaviors you will accept and not accept.
NON-NEGOTIABLES: Decide what the consequence is when someone breaks one of your rules. It is likely to happen, so decide what your response to the problem will be. And if you have non-negotiables, address what those are clearly so your partner understands if certain lines are crossed, you will leave.
COMMUNICATE/LISTEN: Communicate your boundaries clearly. Even if you’re afraid they might not agree, at the end of the day, your comfortability is the most important. And listen when your partner tells you what does or doesn’t work for them.
FOLLOW THROUGH: If someone crosses your boundary then do what you said you were going to do! And express how you feel. You can be compassionate, yet firm.

Sometimes we can get wrapped up in our romantic relationships. We forget who we are as an individual. Our lives become intertwined. But, singleness is the time for self exploration and Tyra shares how she came to this realization. Becoming THAT GIRL has also been trending and Tyra shares ways she has been becoming the girl of her dreams by implementing healthy routines in her everyday life, finding joy in the little things, and dating herself unapologetically.

The Biggest Takeaways from Today’s Episode on becoming That Girl and Finding Yourself in Singleness:

Indulge in THAT experience, whatever it is
Become the person of your dreams by making sure your cup is full first. You should only give from your overflow.
You are the occasion, every day is worth celebrating, you don't have to wait on anyone to be excited for life.
Pure joy should be the end goal.

Finding Yourself Through Change: Embracing the Next Chapter in your Life, Seasonal Depression, Break Ups, and Radically Showing Up for Yourself Jan 16, 2022

Show notes

Tyra sits down and gets real about her break up, seasonal depression, and moving away from home and how it has all affected her life. She spent the entire month of December, at home, reflecting on how her life has been going since this major life change. She weighs the good along with the bad, and we speak on moving forward and learn to make promises to ourselves and to always put ourselves first because you cannot give from an empty cup. In order for our cups to overflow, we have to show ourselves love, and sometimes that's hard when your life suddenly changes.

This week’s Affirmation is “ My fears of tomorrow are melting away”

The Biggest Takeaways from Today’s Episode on Change:

Putting yourself first fills your cup. You cannot give from an empty cup, the goal is to give from your saucer.
God says trouble doesn't last always.. Matthew 6:34. So do not worry on tomorrow, because change is inevitable.
