    Faith, Tithes & Boundaries: When Giving Starts Feeling Like Pressure

    In this episode of Auntie’s Court, We tackle a controversial topic that’s been stirring up real conversations—money in the church. From pastors asking for tax returns to public call-outs during service, we break down where faith ends and pressure begins. Is tithing about obedience… or has it become expectation and control? We share personal experiences, question church practices, and discuss the difference between giving with intention vs. giving out of guilt. This isn’t about tearing down faith—it’s about protecting your peace, your pockets, and your personal relationship with God. At the end of the day: 👉 Give what you can 👉 Stand on what you believe 👉 And don’t let anyone audit your faith Tune in, join the conversation, and let us know— Are these pastors out of line… or is this just part of the process?

    An 18-year-old gets 25 years… and the Aunties are asking deeper questions. In this episode, the Aunties step into “court” to break down an aggravated robbery case that raises big conversations about accountability, punishment, and what happens when teenagers make adult mistakes. Yes, the victim’s trauma matters. But so does what it means to give someone a sentence that could define their entire adulthood. We're talking about the bigger picture. From jail expansion to underfunded schools, from racial disparities to the idea of rehabilitation vs. pure punishment, the Aunties keep it honest, nuanced, and real. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: • The details behind the aggravated robbery case • Should age factor into sentencing decisions? • Victim healing vs. systemic accountability • Are we investing in prisons more than people?

On this episode of Not Yo Average Aunties, Key, Jay, and Joe get honest about the messy, personal realities of code-switching  especially in women’s lifestyle spaces where professionalism, culture, family expectations, and survival all collide. Is adapting a superpower… exhausting or both?

    Built By Us: The Culture, The Coins & The Credit

    Black women don’t just participate in culture — we build it. From music and fashion to viral moments and billion-dollar trends, this episode explores how Black women shape what the world consumes… and why we’re often the last to profit from it.

In Auntie’s Court, the conversation turns personal as they debate beauty standards, body image, and whether appearance still impacts earning power in today’s economy. Funny, fearless, and financially honest — this episode asks the real question: If we are the blueprint… why aren’t we always holding the deed?
