Affirmations for Black Girls

In this episode, Tyra is reflecting on one of the most transformative chapters of her life: living alone.After five years in her apartment, she reflects on how having a space that is completely her own has taught her more than just independence. It’s taught her what she likes, what she needs, what she won’t compromise on, and what she actually wants from a partner.Because the goal of living alone isn’t to prove that you don’t need anybody. It’s to know that you can take care of yourself and still want somebody to do life with.Tyra also talks about dating while living alone, the “single tax,” hyper-independence, and why knowing yourself before sharing your life with someone else can change everything.This week’s Affirmation is: “I trust myself to build a life that feels good to me.”3 Biggest TakeawaysLiving alone teaches you who you are. When you’re not constantly accommodating someone else, you get the space to discover your preferences, routines, boundaries, and what genuinely makes your life feel good. Independence doesn’t mean you don’t want partnership.You can know you’re fully capable of taking care of yourself and still want someone to share life with. The goal isn’t to need nobody—it’s to choose someone because they add to the life you’ve already built.Partnership should require compromise, not self-abandonment.Knowing yourself makes it easier to recognize what you’re willing to compromise on and what you’re not. You should be able to build a life with someone without losing the person you became on your own.Community Connection LinksSign up for the Community Newsletter!: www.tyrathecreative.com/podcastJoin the AFBG Book Club: https://tyrathecreative.myflodesk.com/xkz6bzvn29 Shop the AFBG Merch!: http://tyrathecreative.com/merchLetters From Listeners Form: https://forms.gle/yqwdsBuRBjXQm9Xw7Subscriber Survey: https://forms.gle/m4AD2YaYbGhd8gEv6ResourcesWhy Every Woman Should Live Alone At Least Once Before Tying the Knot - https://madamenoire.com/745757/live-alone-tying-knot/My New Backsplash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi1X-Jvp8CwShop Tyra’s Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tyrathecreativeHere’s a free trial of ClassPass (with 20 bonus credits!): https://shop.tyrathecreative.com/classpass Listen to Lofi Beats for Deep Focus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfBhamgkCww&t=2222s Wanna give therapy a try?

In today’s episode, Tyra shares the love lessons she took away from You Me and Tuscany, from realizing that love should feel safe and peaceful, to understanding that the right love doesn’t require you to become someone else to receive it. This conversation is a reminder that love isn’t just about being chosen… it’s also about choosing what truly aligns with you.This week’s Affirmation is: “I deserve a love that feels safe.”3 Biggest TakeawaysLove that’s meant for you won’t constantly leave you confused or emotionally exhaustedThe right love allows you to be fully yourself, not a performance version of who you think you need to beAttraction alone isn’t enough.

In today's Rewind Episode, we revist when Tyra experienced a great loss, the matriarch of her family, Grandma Willie Mae. She talks about the powerful journey of navigating grief and embracing healing in this heartfelt episode.This week’s affirmation is: “My Life is Beautiful and worth being lived to its fullness.”Biggest Takeaways:Honoring Life's Fullness: Tyra emphasizes that grief isn't solely tied to the loss of a loved one. It's a complex emotion that can arise from various life experiences, including the passing of cherished dreams and societal challenges. Affirmations as Tools of Resilience: In times of grief, Tyra introduces the affirmation "My Life is Beautiful and worth being lived to its fullness." She explores how affirmations act as tools for resilience, helping us reframe our perspectives and navigate the healing process. Through this lens, we can find beauty in the midst of pain, and by acknowledging the challenges, we pave the way for transformation.Embracing the Journey of Healing: Tyra emphasizes that grief is both a challenging and beautiful journey. It's a process that requires time, self-compassion, and a willingness to lean into the emotions that come with loss. By understanding that healing is not linear and that "good grief" is possible, we can emerge from grief with a deeper sense of self and a renewed appreciation for life's most meaningful moments.Recommendations of the Day:Goodles Protein Macaroni: https://go.magik.ly/ml/1vt8h/Hibiscus Lychee Lemonade Recipe: https://www.instagram.com/p/DAWjl9tsGh7/ResourcesListen to the For Life’s Rainy Day Playlist Wanna give therapy a try?Use BetterHelp: https://rebrand.ly/6ulm6zk Try The Calm Apphttps://rebrand.ly/21n4tre COMMUNITY CONNECTION FORM: https://forms.gle/m4AD2YaYbGhd8gEv6Sign Up for our Newsletter!Shop the AFBG Merch! Ask a QuestionSend me a message:[email protected] P.O Box:TYRA MORRISONP.O.

Girl to girl… I hope the love you pray for finds you soon.Not the surface-level kind. Not the kind that looks good but leaves you confused. I’m talking about the kind of love that lets you exhale. The kind that feels steady, safe, and certain. The kind that doesn’t make you question how you show up.In this episode, Tyra is having a real, honest conversation about being in the in-between — that space where you’re no longer going back to what hurt you, but you haven’t yet stepped into the love you desire.This week’s Affirmation is: “I will not sabatoge what I prayed for.”Tyra opens up about:Letting go of “almost” and “potential”Why going backwards is not an option when God already pulled you outThe difference between love and emotional attachmentHow inconsistency creates confusion (and why that’s not love)Trusting that your heart isn’t “too much”—it’s intentionalCommunity Connection LinksSign up for the Community Newsletter!: www.tyrathecreative.com/podcastJoin the AFBG Book Club: https://tyrathecreative.myflodesk.com/xkz6bzvn29 Shop the AFBG Merch!: http://tyrathecreative.com/merchLetters From Listeners Form: https://forms.gle/yqwdsBuRBjXQm9Xw7Subscriber Survey: https://forms.gle/m4AD2YaYbGhd8gEv6ResourcesShop Tyra’s Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tyrathecreativeHere’s a free trial of ClassPass (with 20 bonus credits!): https://shop.tyrathecreative.com/classpass Listen to Lofi Beats for Deep Focus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfBhamgkCww&t=2222s Defeating Doubt Playlist https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/defeating-doubt/pl.u-PDb408VtJyb1Po Wanna give therapy a try?

Have you ever tried to make something work so badly… only for it to fall apart anyway?In this episode, Tyra talks about the uncomfortable but necessary truth: sometimes the reason it didn’t work out is because God wouldn’t let you settle.Whether it’s relationships that almost made it, opportunities that looked good on paper, friendships that slowly faded, or spaces that felt “good enough” but not aligned — this conversation is about divine disruption. The closed doors. The redirection. The feeling of “why is this so hard?” When you’re just trying to make something stick.This week’s Affirmation is: “God, raise my standards to match Your promises.”Tyra unpacks:The difference between contentment and settlingTrusting redirection, even when it bruises your egoLetting go of “almost” in order to receive alignmentIf you’ve been frustrated because nothing mediocre seems to last in your life… maybe that’s the point.This episode is your reminder that not everything that leaves is a loss. Sometimes it’s protection. Sometimes it’s preparation. And sometimes… it’s proof that you’re called to more.Community Connection LinksSign up for the Community Newsletter!: www.tyrathecreative.com/podcastJoin the AFBG Book Club: https://tyrathecreative.myflodesk.com/xkz6bzvn29 Shop the AFBG Merch!: http://tyrathecreative.com/merchLetters From Listeners Form: https://forms.gle/yqwdsBuRBjXQm9Xw7Subscriber Survey: https://forms.gle/m4AD2YaYbGhd8gEv6ResourcesShop Tyra’s Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tyrathecreativeHere’s a free trial of ClassPass (with 20 bonus credits!): https://shop.tyrathecreative.com/classpass Listen to Lofi Beats for Deep Focus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfBhamgkCww&t=2222s Wanna give therapy a try?

In this episode, Tyra is giving y’all a real life update and sharing where she's been. She's officially a new dog mom...again!What she thought would simply be “aww, cuddles and companionship” has turned into responsibility, structure, interrupted sleep, emotional growth, and a whole new level of self-awareness. Tyra needed companionship. She needed something to nurture.What she didn’t expect was how much it would stretch her.We’re talking about:The shock of sudden responsibilityHow your life really changes when someone depends on youThe identity shift that comes with becoming a caregiverWhy companionship sometimes comes with growing painsLearning to adjust when the blessing feels overwhelmingThis episode is honest. It’s tender. It’s a little “what did I just do?” and a lot of “okay… we’re growing.”If you’re in a season where your life just shifted, whether it’s a new pet, new relationship, new job, new city, or a new version of yourself, this conversation is for you.Because sometimes the answered prayer is also the stretching season.Community Connection LinksSign up for the Community Newsletter!: www.tyrathecreative.com/podcastJoin the AFBG Book Club: https://tyrathecreative.myflodesk.com/xkz6bzvn29 Shop the AFBG Merch!: http://tyrathecreative.com/merchLetters From Listeners Form: https://forms.gle/yqwdsBuRBjXQm9Xw7Subscriber Survey: https://forms.gle/m4AD2YaYbGhd8gEv6ResourcesShop Tyra’s Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tyrathecreativeHere’s a free trial of ClassPass (with 20 bonus credits!): https://shop.tyrathecreative.com/classpass Listen to Lofi Beats for Deep Focus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfBhamgkCww&t=2222s Wanna give therapy a try?

What happens when you have faith in your prayers… but fear in your posture?2026 marks Season 5 of the Affirmations for Black Girls Podcast, and this year feels different.Last season was about stepping into “Big Deal” energy — moving boldly, raising standards, and owning every room. But this season? It’s about what happens after the confidence.It’s about releasing control. After realizing she was carrying faith in her prayers but fear in her posture, Tyra is entering a new era — one rooted in alignment, surrender, and deeper trust in God’s timing.This season explores high-functioning anxiety, Type A tendencies, the pressure of personal timelines, and the quiet fear of “what if it doesn’t happen for me?” It’s about believing that what God has planned isn’t smaller than your dreams — it’s exceedingly, abundantly above them.No more gripping the wheel. No more negotiating with God. No more mistaking control for responsibility.Season 5 is about being anchored — in faith, in identity, and in the truth that what’s meant for you will never miss you.This year, we’re not forcing. We’re aligning. This isn’t a season of passivity. It’s a season of obedience. Of surrender and of deeper trust.Community Connection LinksSign up for the Community Newsletter!: www.tyrathecreative.com/podcastJoin the AFBG Book Club: https://tyrathecreative.myflodesk.com/xkz6bzvn29 Shop the AFBG Merch!: http://tyrathecreative.com/merchLetters From Listeners Form: https://forms.gle/yqwdsBuRBjXQm9Xw7Subscriber Survey: https://forms.gle/m4AD2YaYbGhd8gEv6ResourcesShop Tyra’s Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tyrathecreativeHere’s a free trial of ClassPass (with 20 bonus credits!): https://shop.tyrathecreative.com/classpass Listen to Lofi Beats for Deep Focus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfBhamgkCww&t=2222s Wanna give therapy a try?
