In today’s episode, Tyra is joined by Shanika, host of the Scratch Everything podcast, for a real and refreshing conversation about FOMO—the fear of missing out—and how it creeps into our minds, our decisions, and our peace.
Together, they explore what it means to truly trust your timing, how to stop comparing your life to the highlight reels you see online, and why chasing alignment will always be more fulfilling than chasing what looks good on paper.
Whether you’re in a season of waiting, stuck in a loop of comparison, or just feeling like you’re “behind,” this episode will remind you: you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Affirmation of the Week:
“Joy lives in the present, and that’s where I choose to be.”
🔑 What You’ll Hear:
- How social media fuels comparison & how to set boundaries
- Why being “behind” is a myth
- Learning to say no to distractions that don’t serve your growth
- What it means to be present in your own timeline
