Affirmations for Black Girls

What if letting go isn’t the end—but the beginning of something softer, stronger, and more honest? In today’s Pep Talk, Tyra reflects on grief, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to receive love again—drawing inspiration from Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan. This one’s for anyone learning to make peace with what didn’t last… and still open up to what could. Pep Talk Challenge: Write a letter to a version of yourself that you’ve outgrown. Tell her thank you. Tell her you love her. And tell her it’s okay to rest now.

What do you think about the sentiment less is more? In this week’s episode Tyra explores the power of doing less — and how that intentional slowing down can lead to more clarity, creativity, and peace. We’ve been taught that rest is something we have to earn, but what if rest is actually the secret to becoming our fullest selves? Through personal stories, gentle reminders, and a few hard truths, Tyra invites you to rethink your relationship with rest and reimagine what productivity can look like when it's rooted in presence instead of pressure. This week’s affirmation is “I choose peace over pressure, and presence over perfection.” 3 Biggest Takeaways from this episode: 1. Rest is not a reward — it’s a right. 2. Taking breaks can boost your creativity and productivity, not block it. 3. If you’re not careful, constantly “doing” can cause you to miss the life you're actually living.

Have you ever stopped to think about how you learned love — not through words, but through what you absorbed from the men who raised you? In today’s episode, Tyra explores how our early experiences with father figures — whether tender or tough — shaped our emotional language. Together, we unpack what it means to redefine love on your own terms and give yourself permission to want softness, consistency, and presence. This week’s Affirmation is: “I deserve softness — in how I speak to myself, how I love, and how I’m loved in return.” 3 Biggest Takeaways 1. Love is often absorbed, not taught — and that impacts how we show up emotionally. 2. You’re allowed to crave love that feels emotionally safe, expressive, and affirming. 3. Redefining love for yourself isn’t betrayal — it’s healing.

Ever feel like celebration has to be earned? Like you need to hit a big milestone, reach a goal, or have something extraordinary happen before you’re allowed to feel proud? In today’s Pep Talk Wednesday, Tyra is giving you full permission to stop waiting. This episode is all about honoring yourself now — not later. Whether you checked something off your to-do list, showed up for yourself emotionally, or simply made it through the day — that deserves to be seen. Tyra shares why celebration is more than a party — it’s a practice. One that helps you rewrite old narratives, embrace joy in your present, and stop tying your worth to constant achievement. Pep Talk Challenge: Celebrate something this week that no one else can see but you — and do it in a way you haven’t done in a long time. ✨ Maybe it’s your consistency. ✨ Maybe it’s emotional growth. ✨ Maybe it’s getting out of bed when you didn’t feel like it. Whatever it is, honor it on purpose. It doesn’t have to cost a thing — it just has to be meaningful to you. Post your celebration moment and tag @affirmationsforblackgirls so I can cheer you on! 🥂 Resources Alexis’ ‘Feeling My Shelf’ Newsletter: https://www.feelingmyshelfnewsletter.com/ [https://www.feelingmyshelfnewsletter.com/]  50 side quests to do this year - https://we.tl/t-gmLxjREKx4 [https://we.tl/t-gmLxjREKx4]   Listen to the https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/for-lifes-rainy-days/pl.u-PDb403ZIJyb1PoFor Life’s Rainy Day Playlist  [https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/for-lifes-rainy-days/pl.u-PDb403ZIJyb1Po] Wanna give therapy a try?

In today’s episode, Tyra is pulling back the curtain on five life-check questions that you should ask yourself before jumping (back) into the dating world. From your relationship with money to your routines and future goals, this is the episode that’ll help you pause and really evaluate whether you’re ready for love—or just longing for a distraction. It’s real, it’s reflective, and a reminder that you're already worthy, with or without a partner. This week’s Affirmation is “ I choose love from overflow, not emptiness.” 3 BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS: 1. Dating from a place of self-abandonment leads to confusion, codependency, and settling for less than you deserve. 2. Building a strong relationship with yourself — your money, body, routines, and goals — lays the foundation for real love. 3. You don’t find yourself in a relationship. You bring yourself into it — whole, clear, and grounded.
