    Recovery, Resilience, Revival

    LMFT, Delena Zimmerman, and I clearly laugh to keep from crying.  Delana is brave enough to tell her truth and what she calls, Recovery, Resilience, and  Revival.  She shares her journey to Revival despite being victimized as a child and becoming drug addict.  I clearly was not ready for this interview and do not always channel my inner Oprah or Tamron Hall.  However, I am awed by Delana's ability to become a therapist and help others and the level of forgiveness that she displays.  Listen to what happens to children, who are left to raise themselves.  Trigger warning:  This episode includes discussion of rape and child abuse.  Please also note that this is part 1 of a 2 part series.   Send me your thoughts, feedback and interest in becoming a sponsor to: Contact Information Email: auntietalkspodcast@gmail.com IG: @Auntie Talks and Listens

    Black Women for Wellness LA - Reproductive Justice: Womb to Tomb

    I am rarely at a loss for words, but I say very little during this enlightening conversation with Black Women for Wellness LA (BWWLA) Executive Director, Janette Robinson Flint.  BWWLA is focused on Reproductive Justice for Black Women and Girls in California.  Janette shares the totality of those things that impact reproductive health from Womb to Tomb, including environmental issues, affordable housing, and of course birth control.  Janette and I chop it up about the ways that BWWLA is addressing these challenges and how their volunteers, the “Fierce Aunties”, are supporting this much needed work.

    Go Talk to Some Damn GenZ Kids

    Don’t buy the hype that Gen Z is  “delulu”. Talking to Gen Z always leaves me feeling hopeful and excited!  In the second episode of my series, What Surprised You About Adulthood, I talk to 22 year old Alexis Jones.  Alexis will make you feel like the world is going to be ok, when she shares how she has just graduated from college, debt-free, is working in her dream industry, and is living on her own and paying her own rent.  Whether you are Gen Z or have friends and family that are, listen and prepare to be inspired.   Send me your thoughts, feedback and interest in becoming a sponsor to: Contact Information Email: auntietalkspodcast@gmail.com IG: @Auntie Talks and Listens

    Go Get Yourself Some Damn Girlfriends

    This episode is pure love.  In honor of National Girlfriend’s Day, which was August 1st, I had the privilege of sitting down with 3 of my besties to talk about the power of friendship.  Getting together in our pajamas, in my living room, with alcohol and a camera, led to some hysterical moments, moments of candor, and just a whole heck of a lot of fun.  Tune in on your favorite podcast app or YouTube today and make sure you share it with your friends.

    What Surprised You About Adulthood?

    I heard Tabitha Brown and husband, Chance, ask their daughter, Choyce, about adulthood and it reminded me of a topic that had been on my list since I began podcasting over a year ago.  So, I sat down with two GenZ young women and asked: “What Surprised you About Adulthood”. Kayln Geer and Taria Ray surprised me with their answers.  I was impressed by the tools that they have implemented to navigate adult life, but surprised about how much their generation is concerned about the impact of politics.  Note:  This episode was recorded before President Joe Biden stepped down and endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic Presidential candidate.  Guest Contact Information Kayln Geer IG: @prettyplushpicniks   Send me your thoughts, feedback and interest in becoming a sponsor to: Contact Information Email: auntietalkspodcast@gmail.com IG: @Auntie Talks and Listens

    Are Men and Women at War....With Each Other

    This AT&L episode is a repost, but demonstrates how good the topics and guests are and how much the pod has grown.  I chose to repost it  because I continue to see what looks like competition amongst the sexes, particularly Black men and women.  Listen to the conversation that I share with Alex Jacke, single millennial singer, songwriter and actor from the hot and steamy show, A la Carte and Gen X, Guest in Residence, Tenisha Tate-Austin, Founder and CEO of Critical Friends Consulting.  Tenisha shares the perspectives of a suburban, married and professional mother, while Alex, a single male, working in the entertainment industry, highlights the views of that demo and, well, Auntie is sharing her wisdom and learning.   Send me your thoughts, feedback and interest in becoming a sponsor to: Contact Information Email: auntietalkspodcast@gmail.com IG: @Auntie Talks and Listens
