From fiddleheads to longer days, the Aunties share the SPRING things they are looking forward to the most and those things they will miss about the storytelling (winter) months. The Aunties hold deep appreciation for Mother Earth during this episode. As the tulips and daffodils peek through the dirt and snow, the excitement for warmth and growth is clear.

In today's episode, a letter to the Agony Aunties sparks a deeply honest conversation about what it means to love two people at once. The writer shares her experience of being in a long-term marriage of 33 years while also falling for another man. The hosts explore the emotional weight of this dual connection and the very human complexities of desire, loyalty, and longing. Drawing on the insights of relationship experts like Dan Savage and Esther Perel, the discussion unpacks the prevalence of extramarital affairs and the often-unspoken struggles within committed relationships. From trust and secrecy to self-reflection and growth, this episode invites listeners to sit with the grey areas and consider how we reconcile love, truth, and our evolving sense of self within a marriage.

We're taking it back to the ‘90s growing up in church, the traditions, the rules, and the very specific church culture we experienced. But what about today? How has church evolved? How have we evolved? In this episode, we unpack our faith journeys how we've deconstructed and reconstructed our beliefs while staying true to God and real to the times.Drop an AMEN in the comments if you relate!

Part 3- Comparing and Then Despairing is Keeping You in the Grey Zone It doesn't matter what SHE"S doing. No one cares and it was never important despite what you've been told. Deciding if you're enough after comparing to other's sounds so icky. Don't do it! Never helpful and doesn't truly make you feel better about you. Don't let the Aunties decide if you are winning in life. You get to tune them out and honestly tune your 1.0 version out when you find yourself doing this too!

In this episode, the Agony Aunties respond to a heartfelt message from a listener struggling with the loss of a close friend. As an atheist, they feel isolated and alienated by the predominantly Christian language surrounding grief. The Agony Aunties explore the importance of finding grief support that resonates with non-religious individuals and suggest alternatives like The Grief Gang. They acknowledge the profound pain and loneliness that can come with grief, emphasising the need for open expression and validation of loss. The conversation also delves into the role of anger in the grieving process, highlighting its importance as a natural emotional response. The Agony Aunties share practical ways to navigate grief, including emotional regulation techniques and finding therapists or support communities that respect non-religious perspectives. This episode serves as a reminder that everyone deserves compassionate and inclusive support, no matter their beliefs. Please subscribe and leave a review—it truly makes all the difference!

Love isn't something you have to earn, it's freely given. In this episode, we're breaking down why you don't have to prove your worth to be loved by God or the right person. True love is not transactional, and learning to receive it is a game-changer. Let's talk about releasing guilt, embracing love, and showing up as your authentic self.

What advice would you give a new chump knowning what you know now? We heard from many listeners who had hard-won advice for the newly betrayed. How to choose who you tell, to focusing on self-protecting over reconciliation, and deep regrets about pick-me dancing. Who better to tell you than the people who lived it? The idea for the episode was taken from the mental health nonprofit Friendship Bench. It's an organization that started in Zimbabwe to help people who were struggling with depression. They trained a league of older women to sit on public park benches and let strangers tell them their troubles. The support from these older women resulted in better health outcomes for depression than conventional therapy. A movement began. Tell Me How You're Mighty is your friendship bench. Sit down and let us give you some advice. Save yourself some pain. 

Love is in the air…but also, not really. It’s still really rough out there, which is why the Aunties are continuing to strategize for joy. Ku is dreaming of monthly Sunday dinners that are easy and delicious. Su is reading, watching and listening to stories that are fascinating and hopeful. And nothing screams joy like a little kid jamming out to music. The Aunties talk about their kids' awesome (if slightly confusing) music tastes. We want to hear from you!

We can’t believe 2025 just started. This episode was recorded after the double whammy of the inauguration and the ongoing LA wildfires, and the Aunties are feeling it.
