Not every message, notification, or invite deserves your immediate attention… or any attention at all. In this episode, Tyra dives into the art of setting digital boundaries, pushing back against the unspoken pressure to always be “on,” and recognizing when group dynamics or constant availability are draining instead of nourishing. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not responding fast enough or said “yes” just to avoid being the odd one out, this conversation will give you permission to prioritize your peace, honor your limits, and find balance between connection and self-preservation.

This week’s Affirmation is: “I choose to be present without being overly accessible.”

4 Biggest Takeaways

You Don’t Owe Everyone Access to You or Your Time – Being constantly available isn’t the same as being dependable. Protecting your energy is an act of self-respect.
Digital Boundaries Are Still Boundaries – Silence, delayed responses, or a polite “no” are valid ways of drawing the line, even in group chats and DMs.
Choosing Rest During Moments of Social Overstimulation is Valid – Stepping back doesn’t make you antisocial; it makes you intentional about where and with whom you spend your energy.
Community Doesn’t Require Overextension – True friends and healthy groups will respect your limits and not demand more than you can give.
