• 445 | Living Far Away From Home: Redefining What “Home” Means When You’ve Outgrown It | Feeling Disconnected This Holiday Season

  Have you ever felt like you’ve outgrown your hometown, but still carry it in your heart? In this episode, Tyra reflects on the delicate balance of loving where you’re from while stepping into who you’re becoming. From creating home moments in new spaces to redefining traditions and embracing growth, she shares personal stories, lessons learned, and practical ways to feel connected even when you’re far from home.This week’s Affirmation is: “It is safe for me to outgrow what once felt familiar.”3 Biggest TakeawaysReflection is a form of self-respect: acknowledging your roots while making space for who you’re becoming.Growth often requires leaving comfort behind,  and that’s okay. Outgrowing a place doesn’t mean abandoning it.Home is a feeling, not a zip code, it can live in memories, traditions, and the life you intentionally build for yourself.Community Connection LinksSign up for the Community Newsletter!: www.tyrathecreative.com/podcastJoin the AFBG Book Club: https://tyrathecreative.myflodesk.com/xkz6bzvn29 Shop the AFBG Merch!: http://tyrathecreative.com/merchLetters From Listeners Form: https://forms.gle/yqwdsBuRBjXQm9Xw7Subscriber Survey: https://forms.gle/m4AD2YaYbGhd8gEv6ResourcesShop Tyra’s Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tyrathecreativeHere’s a free trial of ClassPass (with 20 bonus credits!): https://shop.tyrathecreative.com/classpass Listen to Lofi Beats for Deep Focus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfBhamgkCww&t=2222s Wanna give therapy a try?
