From relationships and dating to values that sit a little deeper, we unpack what we’re willing to compromise on… and what’s an absolute no.

The conversation gets real as we dive into heavier, more complex topics — including racism, human rights, and how politics today often blurs the line between basic humanity and “political opinions.” For us, when human rights are treated as politics, that’s not just confusing — it’s a dealbreaker.

Expect honest opinions, uncomfortable truths, and the kind of conversation you’d have with your aunty who tells it like it is. 💅🏽
Tune in, reflect with us, and decide for yourself: what’s your dealbreaker?

We talk about why making friends as an adult feels harder than winning the lottery, how insecurities show up in friendships, and what it really means to be a true friend — not just someone who wants access to you. We break down boundaries (yes, even with long-term friends), recognizing when a friendship no longer serves your growth, and how to surround yourself with people who support your peace, not steal it.

Because friendship shouldn’t feel like auditioning. And if someone says they’re a “true friend”… well, are they?

In this episode of Call Aunty, we’re talking all things holidays and family traditions: the ones that shaped us, the ones that changed over time, and how navigating the season looks different as we get older.

Pour yourself a cup of hot cocoa (or a glass of wine 🍷), get comfy, and listen in as we share stories, reflect on holiday nostalgia, and offer auntie advice on honoring the past while making space for new traditions. It’s cozy, honest, a little chaotic — and just like a FaceTime call with your favorite aunt.
