In this episode,Tyra dives into the power of embracing the parts of ourselves we once criticized. She shares her personal journey of self-love and confidence. Learn practical tools like Dopamine Menus, journaling, self-affirmations, and celebrating small wins to start honoring your worth and shining unapologetically.

This week’s Affirmation is: “I am worthy of being seen and celebrated exactly as I am.”

3 Biggest Takeaways

1. Insecurities aren’t flaws, they’re signals: They highlight the parts of ourselves that need love, attention, and celebration.
2. Being seen starts with small, intentional steps: Journaling, Dopamine Menus, and accepting compliments help train your brain to recognize your value.
3. Representation and self-acknowledgment are healing: Celebrating yourself, your quirks, and your uniqueness rewires confidence and joy, even in the face of societal pressures or internalized doubt.
