What does success really look like and how do you know when you’ve arrived? In this episode, we’re unpacking the many layers of success: how it evolves at different stages of life, how it can change you, and what it actually takes to be successful both inside and out. Whether you’re chasing a dream, redefining your goals, or feeling stuck in the grind, this conversation will meet you where you are and challenge how you think about “making it.”

We’re back with Part 2 of last week’s conversation, and this time, we’re diving even deeper into the power of speaking your mind and clearly communicating expectations in friendships, relationships, and even at work. If you’ve ever struggled with saying how you really feel or worried about how your honesty will be received, this one’s for you. Let’s talk boundaries, boldness, and why silence isn’t always golden.

NYC we’re coming to YOU next! Grab your tickets now and pull up on your favorite Aunties.

This week on Your Favorite Aunties Podcast, we’re unpacking the essence of Auntiehood—from the laughs we bring to the lessons we live. Whether you’re the one with the gum, the wisdom, or the emergency snacks, being an Auntie is a whole vibe and a divine assignment. We’re talking legacy, love, and why Aunties are the unsung heroes of every family, friend group, and function. It’s giving heart, it’s giving humor, and it’s giving Holy Spirit with a side of hot sauce.
