414 | Are You Living in Survival Mode?? Finding Safety, Softness & a New Way to Thrive | Pep Talk Wednesday

May 21, 2025 • 18 mins

In today’s Pep Talk Wednesday, Tyra opens up about what it means to finally step out of survival mode and into a season of softness. For so long, life was about hustling, stretching every dollar, and just making it through the day. But now? There's space. Space to breathe, space to rest, space to just be.

This episode is for the woman who’s noticing that her nervous system is finally calm. She’s walking slower, cooking more, laughing deeper — and realizing that this, too, is a form of success.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down or unsure if you’re “doing enough,” this is your reminder: You’re not thriving because life is perfect — you’re thriving because you’re finally safe.

Pep Talk Challenge: Write down some things your younger-you couldn’t even imagine having time or capacity for. Indulge in one of those things this week.
