An uncle wrote in with a situation that is more

common than people want to admit.

His mother-in-law has fallen on hard times.

His wife wants to move her in.

He pays ALL the bills.

And the mother-in-law doesn't even like him.

His answer? A hard no.

His ultimatum? It's her mama or me.

That Auntie! is not holding back on this one.

An auntie wrote in with one of the most raw and

real situations we have ever received.

Her husband of 30 years died unexpectedly.

One week later she met someone.

Three weeks after that she started dating him.

Now her in-laws are furious — and the man who

swept her off her feet is already showing red flags.

That Auntie! is sitting with this one carefully

because grief, vulnerability, and new love

are not simple topics. But we don't care about

your feelings. We care about your future.

6 in 10 employers have already fired recent college graduates.

And 1 in 6 say they are not even considering hiring

young people anymore.

So what is going wrong — and who is really responsible?

That Auntie! is not holding back on this one.

Today we are talking about why this generation is being

called unemployable — and what parents, schools, and

young people themselves need to hear right now.

We don't care about your feelings. We care about your future.

Have you ever looked at someone else's life and thought

"what's wrong with me?"

That feeling has a name. And That Auntie! is talking

about it today — along with the one thing that

separates people who rise from people who stay stuck.

It's not talent. It's not money. It's not connections.

It's your ATTITUDE.

Today we are back In The Spirit discussing chapters 10

and 11 of Susan L. Taylor's book — Having A Winning

Attitude and There Is Magic In Believing.

This episode is for every auntie, uncle, niece and

nephew who has ever felt like they were falling behind,

starting over, or not enough.

You are not losing. You are learning.

An uncle wrote in with one simple question —

Why aren't men chivalrous anymore?

And That Auntie! had A LOT to say about it.

From absent fathers to social media pressure to women

wearing capes they were never meant to carry —

this episode unpacks the REAL reason chivalry is disappearing

and who is responsible for bringing it back.

A YouTuber called us a pack of hyenas.

We're not mad. We're responding.

JayB Reacts @jaybreacts1 had strong opinions about our episode on the 20-year-old actress

dating a 60-year-old movie producer. And we have something to say back.

This is not a battle. This is not a beef.

This is That Auntie! setting the record straight —

with receipts, with scripture, and with love.

Welcome back nieces and nephews to a very special episode where we continue our deep dive into the world of gray divorce. Have you ever wondered why so many couples decide to call it quits after twenty or thirty years of marriage? It is often not just one big event but a collection of small shifts and missed connections that lead to a final breaking point.

In this episode, we explore the critical role of communication and why the average couple reportedly spends less than fifteen minutes a week on meaningful conversation. We discuss the major lifestyle shifts that happen as we age, from becoming empty nesters to navigating new social circles. You will hear us get honest about the concept of the brosexual and how prioritizing friends over a partner can lead to deep resentment at home.

We also get real about money and trust. From the complexities of joint accounts to the importance of financial literacy, we break down why transparency is the only way to build a lasting legacy together. Plus, we touch on the necessity of internal work, the role of therapy in breaking generational taboos, and why staying in a loveless marriage for the sake of the children might be doing more harm than good. Whether you are currently married, dating, or starting over, these insights on emotional intimacy and mutual respect are essential for any healthy relationship.

Black women have carried the weight of keeping families together for generations.

But what happens when God says it's time to choose YOU?

In this powerful episode of That Auntie!, we sit down with Auntie Phoenix — a Black

woman who spent 30+ years as a wife, a mother of three, and the glue holding

everything together. Today she is rising, glowing, and finally walking in purpose.

This is her testimony of healing, courage, and peace.

Are you ready to stop limping through life and start glowing from the inside out? In this episode, we are diving deep into chapters eight and nine of Susan L. Taylor's wisdom to discuss why self-love is your ultimate cornerstone. Join the aunties as we explore how to prioritize your well-being and connect with the highest power within you.

We begin by exploring personal notes on self-love, breaking down why it is the essential starting point for giving love to others. Without a solid foundation of self-care, we risk becoming part of the walking wounded, but when we choose to pamper our spirits and set healthy boundaries, we invite abundance into our lives. We also address the common wall of cultural conditioning that incorrectly tells us it is selfish to focus on ourselves. From bubble baths to quiet reflection, we discuss how to pour back into your own cup so you have something to give to the world.

The conversation then shifts to the highest power, which is love and God. We talk about the importance of living from within rather than seeking validation through materialism or physical alterations. It is about character, purpose, and the responsibility we have to guide the younger generation toward their own light. You were created on purpose and with a purpose, and it is time to start living like it.

Our niece has a situation — her children's father is doing federal time, she's 22 with two kids, and there's another man she wants to date. The aunties break it all down. Should she hold him down or live her life?
