  <description><![CDATA[<p><b>Dear Aunty | A Podcast + Advice Column by Soultribe Media</b></p><p><br></p><p>Hey Soultribe. It's your Aunty Charmaine — and I am so glad you found your way here.</p><p><br></p><p>Dear Aunty is not your average podcast. This is a sanctuary. This is the place where real letters from real people meet real wisdom, real truth, and real love — every single Friday.</p><p><br></p><p>Here is how it works. You write in. You share what is weighing on you — the financial stress, the generational patterns, the relationships that cost you more than they gave, the habits you never learned, the life you are trying to build without a blueprint. And here is what I need you to know — your letter will always remain anonymous. Your name stays safe. Your story stays yours. All that comes through is the truth of what you are carrying, and Aunty meets you right there.</p><p><br></p><p>Every episode I open a letter from someone in our community and I speak directly to it — honestly, spiritually, and practically. No scripts. No filters. Just truth delivered with love.</p><p><br></p><p>I am Aunty Charmaine — spiritual life coach, psychic medium, shamanic healer, ancestral healing guide, and HuffPost contributor. I have spent my career sitting with people in the hardest moments of their lives and helping them find their way back to themselves. That is exactly what Dear Aunty is built to do.</p><p><br></p><p>Every episode lives inside a larger monthly theme rooted in the real cost of living — not just financially, but spiritually, ancestrally, and communally. Because the truth is, healing does not happen in just one area of your life. It happens across all of them, all at once.</p><p><br></p><p>New episodes drop every Friday on Buzzsprout, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and soultribe.media.</p><p><br></p><p>Ready to submit your letter to Dear Aunty? Head to soultribe.media and let Aunty know what is on your heart. Your story is safe here. Your identity stays protected. Always.</p><p><br></p><p>And if this podcast has ever made you feel seen, supported, or less alone — subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and come join us deeper inside the Soultribe on Patreon. We are building something real over there.</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome home, sweetheart. Aunty has been waiting for you.</p><p><br></p><p>— Aunty Charmaine</p><p>&nbsp;Soultribe Media</p>]]></description>

It started with my niece — a conversation, a moment of real talk, the kind that only happens when you are sitting with someone you trust completely.

You share what is on your heart — the financial stress, the generational patterns, the habits no one taught you, the life you are trying to build. And every letter that comes through is read and answered with complete anonymity. Your name is never revealed. Your story stays yours. Only the truth comes through — and Aunty meets it with wisdom, honesty, and love every single time.</p><p>This is your sanctuary, sweetheart.
