Hey Dear TylaI really think Plantain is Overrated. People make a big deal out of a small issue. I'm not sure you can convince me otherwise either.Apart from plantain I think a lot of other things are overaatted. Listen to this episode and find out my own side of the story!

Hey Dear Tyla, have you ever had a crush on someone but never found the courage to say hello?It’s easy to imagine how things could be, but intentions alone don’t move a dream forward. In this episode, we talk about the distance between what you hope for and what you’re willing to do—and why even a small, brave step matters.Your dreams need more than daydreams. They need you to begin.

Hey Dear Tyla,Have you ever talked yourself out of a moment before it even had the chance to happen? Fear, assumptions, and second-guessing can make us read too much into a situation—or imagine an ending that hasn’t come. Sometimes, while trying to protect ourselves from disappointment, we miss the possibility right in front of us.In this episode, I’m reflecting on the “what could have been” moments we might lose when we let doubt make the decision for us. How do we tell the difference between wise caution and fear holding us back? And what might change if we gave ourselves permission to be present, ask, and take a chance?You may not be able to control how every moment turns out—but you can choose not to let an assumption answer for you.

Hey Dear Tyla,Have you ever called it humility when, deep down, you were shrinking back from what God placed in you?In Humble Limitations, we explore how a desire to stay modest can quietly become a reason to play small—downplaying our gifts, doubting our capacity, and holding back from the very things God has entrusted to us. Humility isn’t pretending you have nothing to offer. It’s recognising the gift, giving God the glory, and having the courage to use it well.If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re being humble—or limiting yourself—this conversation is for you. Listen in, reflect, and consider what might change if you stopped making small what God gave you.

Hey Dear Tyla,In this continuation of Will I Marry Me?, we take the conversation a little deeper—and turn the questions inward. How often do you pause to examine your own actions? What are your motives and intentions really saying about you? And are you willing to be honest about the parts of yourself that still need to grow?Self-evaluation isn’t about tearing yourself down or living in regret. It’s about having the courage to see yourself clearly, take responsibility, and choose to do better. Because becoming a better version of yourself begins with sincerity—with the willingness to tell yourself the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.Let’s reflect on what it means to cross-examine our hearts with honesty and grace, so we can keep growing into the people we’re called to be.

Could you lead ten versions of yourself — at your current level — and sleep well at night?If following you was someone else's assignment, would they be confident… or stressed?In this episode, we sit with a question most of us run from: the honest evaluation of self. It's easy to demand from others what we've never addressed in our own lives — patience we don't practice, growth we haven't started, standards we hold everyone to but ourselves. But the version of you that judges others still has to answer for its own reflection.We talk about telling yourself the truth without condemning yourself, why honesty about where you are is the doorway to where you're going — and why the people quietly growing around you deserve to be celebrated, not taken for granted.Be honest. Be kind. And keep growing.🎧 Listen now — and share it with someone who needs the mirror.

Hey Dear Tyla Have you ever held onto a belief so tightly that it became the very thing holding you back?In this vulnerable episode of Dear Tyla, we unpack the silent prison of captive convictions — those sincere, well-meaning beliefs spoken over us that eventually became the chains we couldn't see.From misreading a scripture to mean "someone else will rescue me," to carrying a poverty mindset that kept abundance out of reach — this is an honest look at how what we believe can either propel us into our destiny or keep us circling the same wilderness.Your invitation: re-evaluate your belief systems, ask what conviction is keeping you captive, and find the courage to break free.🎙️ Listen now.
