In this episode of Not Yo Avg Auntie’s Podcast, the aunties unpack our community’s complicated love affair with the struggle. Why do some folks feel like if they’re not grinding 24/7, they’re not worthy of success? Why do some parents think their kids have to suffer just because they did?
Jo, Ki, and Jay keep it real about how hustle culture, generational trauma, and “no days off” mindsets can trap us in cycles of burnout and struggle. From wearing stress like a badge of honor to confusing chaos with character-building, the aunties dig deep into why so many of us resist ease and how that mindset is costing us peace, health, and happiness.
They talk about:
-
The pressure to always be grinding
-
Struggle Olympics in families and relationships
-
Self-sabotage disguised as “being humble”
-
Learning to embrace ease without guilt
This episode is a word for anybody who grew up hearing “nothing comes easy” and is finally ready to believe that everything doesn’t have to be hard.
