    Trans Athletes, Soft Life & Black Excellence: Kim Joins Auntie Talk | Episode 20

    Auntie Talk has officially hit EPISODE 20! Jennifer and Shera celebrate the milestone with longtime friend Kim for an unfiltered conversation about money, relationships, identity, culture, sports and what it really means to live with Auntie energy. The conversation starts with the ultimate soft-life question: If someone paid ALL of your bills and gave you a $5,000 monthly allowance, would that be enough? That leads to a deeper discussion about financial freedom, saving, entrepreneurship, traveling the world and creating a life where your time truly belongs to you. Kim also opens up about being a masculine-presenting lesbian woman, dating feminine women, being pursued versus doing the pursuing, commitment, friendships and why she is currently focused more on community, personal growth and financial freedom than romantic relationships. Then things get HEATED. As a Division I basketball referee and member of the LGBTQ+ community, Kim joins Jennifer and Shera for a wide-ranging conversation about transgender athletes, fairness and safety in women’s sports, the WNBA, inclusion and who should be responsible for creating the rules moving forward. The Aunties also revisit the conversation surrounding Tuskegee University and campus attire, including bonnets, durags and pajamas. Is banning them about creating a standard of excellence, or does it risk policing Black culture? Plus, the ladies discuss social media, Black culture, performative success, trauma responses, entrepreneurship, boundaries, relationships and much more. And Kim leaves the Aunties with an affirmation worth remembering: “I do hard things well.” Welcome to Episode 20 of Auntie Talk.

    Finding Love After Divorce Without Rushing God | Auntie Talk Ep. 13 Part 3

    In the final part of Jarielle’s conversation with the Auntie Talk hosts, she opens up about finding new love after divorce and learning not to rush what God may be preparing. Jarielle shares the surprising ways her current relationship seems to reflect the qualities she once prayed, wrote, and even joked about wanting in a partner. From small thoughtful gestures to oddly specific details, she describes moments that made her wonder whether God was confirming that this relationship was different. However, Jarielle explains that confirmation does not mean skipping the process. She discusses the importance of allowing a relationship to develop naturally, seeing a partner through different seasons, and making sure both people are emotionally and spiritually prepared for what comes next. The conversation also explores protecting your peace without turning peace into an excuse to avoid love, vulnerability, or companionship. Jarielle encourages women rebuilding after divorce to stop allowing outside opinions to control their decisions and to focus on what genuinely brings them peace. The episode concludes with hilarious rapid-fire questions about love, marriage, dating, friendships, money, red flags, and whether Jarielle would ever get married again. Her final advice is simple: mind your business, trust God, and do not let other people’s opinions determine how you live your life.
