Introducing Tyra Garlington . . . Radio Talk Show Host, Motivational Speaker, Educator, Volunteer Mentor and Coach

The Cincinnati native holds a Masters in Psychology from San Diego State University. Tyra has been a teacher and principal, whose belief in the ability of children to rise above their bleak surroundings helped to turn around an entire school. She has been a psychologist, helping tormented individuals find their way to peace. She has worked in private industry and government using her marketing skills to research and respond to the needs of her customers.

For Tyra Garlington, there have been many obstacles. She has suffered abuse, loss and cancer and she stood her ground against each one, calling on her unlimited faith and her belief that God has a reason. Tyra turned her internal pains into talks that would help others who faced insurmountable odds. She is drawn to charitable organizations that tackle domestic violence, homelessness and children who live in worlds they cannot control.

Tyra’s believes that nothing that has happened in her life will be wasted. Her next chapter will be shaped by her need to continually learn, produce and “pay it forward” both personally and professionally.

School Story:

There is a nuance to moving/growing through emotional and physical development with the same group of folks for six years. It was indeed for me a Clint Eastwood movie ...the good, the bad and the ugly. More good than anything though and it was and is the good memories and outcomes that have stayed with me until now.

I remember my first solo driving experience one Saturday morning on my way to "Peanuts" rehearsal. (I got as ticket!)

I remember reaching in that big ole crock in biology lab to pick out the live frog I would dissect;

I fondly remember Ms Murphy and my seasons in choir and triple trio. I remember Jim Levine accompanying the choir... That memory was amplified when I experienced a back stage tour of the MET; I remember turning the gym into a fantacy for prom night (boy, how the times have changed!); and so much more.

Living here in Virginia, the architecture often reminds me of the WHHS dome sitting high on a hill.

I so look forward to seeing you again; not so much for what you have done but for who you are now.

Pat,
You are evidence that what we believe, we become. Congratulations on grabbing hold of life and not letting go. I believe it is not what one has the power to start, but how much power one has to stay.
Living intentionally,
Tyra G

Thank you for all you do for us, your high school family.
Just completed 89th radio episode of Frankly Speaking with Tyra G. Would love to have you as a guest for my June theme; This is Us.
Think about it.
If yes, I will send you an information package.
If no, no worries.
Sending 5-minute YouTube link to my show. The photo features my youngest guest who is in 5th grade, with her father and orchestra director.
Memories of Walnut Hills make my heart smile!

Someone asked me what I would do if I knew I could not fail?
I answered that I would make my impossible dream come true. I would create a virtual, global community of intergenerational women, and those who love them, who are fearsome and generous, humble and honest, in pursuit of purpose. Women who come together to create beautifully rendered intimate moments. Women who are looking for a place to call their own.
Every week, we will meet for an hour and experience, encourage, and empower each other’s joy, aha moments, and stories that had been left in our pockets for too long. We will start where you are. And we will authentically walk into places where tradition has taught us that there are some things we don’t talk about. I can already sense the laughter and the tears of revelation falling as we become better than before.
Please join me!

Webcast worldwide weekly, Saturday at 8:00 pm ET at www.radiofairfax.org

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death."
Robert Fulghum
I will miss you, Bob Yeager!
Tyra
