Be Who You Are

This episode reflects on being an auntie as the privilege of helping raise children with love, guidance, and the care of a second mother. Through memories of growing up surrounded by many aunties—especially one who modeled joy, authenticity, and acceptance—the speaker shares how these relationships shape values and identity.
