Playing small is costly, and this episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking, stop apologizing for your brilliance, and step fully into your boldness. Tyra breaks down what it means to take up space, trust your value, and carry Big Deal Energy into 2026. If you’re ready to step fully into your life, show up unapologetically, and leave behind hesitation and self-doubt, this episode serves as your roadmap.
This week’s Affirmation is: “I am the main character in my story.”
3 Biggest Takeaways
- Taking up space starts with YOU: You can’t expect the world to see your worth if you don’t first honor your own presence.
- Boldness isn’t always loud: Sometimes it’s internal, quiet, and about choosing yourself even when no one is clapping.
- Imposter syndrome can’t stop you: Name it, document your wins, reframe failure, and visualize yourself confidently taking up space.
