Auntie Up!

Auntie Up! is a celebration of Indigenous women talking about the important s***. Aunties can be counted on to speak their truth without the sugar-coating. They will tell you straight up what you need to know and they aren’t afraid to mince words. It is an unfiltered conversation into the Indigenous world view -- or at least the Auntie world view.

    Ep 25: Walking with Grief

    Join Auntie Jolene Banning and guests Shannon Gustafson and Genevieve Desmoulin in a heartfelt conversation about grief. When you lose someone you love the pain is intense, raw, devastating and you wonder how do I go on? When you’re not thinking about that, there can be all sorts of thoughts running through your head from guilt, to regret to calmness to confusion. Now all alone, what are you supposed to do? How does one go on with their life? Or find joy and love again? But there is hope. There are many who have walked this walk. While I walk with my grief, I’d like to share all the love, kindness, and knowledge Aunties have to offer. I hope to better understand grief and learn ways to move through it, and hopefully help the next person on this journey.

    Ep 22: Child-free by Choice

    The climate crisis is just one reason women are choosing not to bring children into this world. But we are still making families on our own terms. We are there for our nieces and nephews as deadly aunties and helping the next generations to smash the patriarchy. There have always been child-free women, but in the last couple of decades, people choosing not to have children has become more common. Aunties January Rogers and Karyn Pugliese talk with Sonya Ballentyne and Adeline Bird to find out why they are child-free by choice.

    Ep: 18 Laughter is medicine

    In many Indigenous cultures, humor is medicine. It’s not out of the ordinary to have an auntie, uncle, cousin or friend tell a spontaneous joke, usually at the most inappropriate times to get the whole room laughing. But that’s why it’s our medicine. It helps us get through some really hard times and we’ve had a few. With millions of views on social media Amber-Sekowan Daniels and Geraldine King have the cure for whatever ails you.
