411 | The Art of Showing Up for Yourself: Making Room for Joy & Letting Yourself Be the Party

In today’s episode, Tyra shares how she turned her apartment into a cozy little coffee shop — just because. No big milestone, no birthday, just vibes. She dives into how hosting has become her love language, why choosing joy is an intentional act, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who celebrate you for simply being.

If you’ve ever felt like joy had to be earned or reserved for “special occasions,” this episode is your permission slip to celebrate life as it is. Because sometimes the most meaningful parties are the ones with no reason at all.

This week’s Affirmation is “ Making room for joy will allow it to find me.”

3 Biggest Takeaways:

Hosting is an Unofficial Love Language

Even though it's not one of the “official” five, hosting blends all of them — acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation, and physical touch — into one meaningful experience that shows love through presence, intention, and ambiance.

Joy Doesn’t Need a Reason — Just Room

You don’t have to wait for a birthday or achievement to celebrate. Making space for joy in your everyday life is an act of resistance, peace, and self-love. Light the candles. Set the vibe. You’re allowed.

The Right Community Will Match Your Energy

When you're surrounded by people who truly see and love you, celebration becomes natural. You won’t have to perform or plan around perfection — they’ll show up for your joy just as you show up for theirs.
