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
- Love is often absorbed, not taught — and that impacts how we show up emotionally.
- You’re allowed to crave love that feels emotionally safe, expressive, and affirming.
- Redefining love for yourself isn’t betrayal — it’s healing.
