086: Taking Life Lessons From a Loved One (A Tribute to Aunty Anne)

This episode is dedicated to Smith's Aunty Anne - a woman who faced unimaginable adversity with grace and strength. More than a tribute, this is a reflection on the powerful lessons she shared with those around her: from picking your battles and setting boundaries to truly showing up for the people you love. Smith explores how her wisdom still applies today - whether it’s smiling in the face of hardship, refusing to play the victim, or the subtle art of saying “no” with love. There’s also a strong reminder that listening (without fixing) is a lost skill, and that being there for someone doesn’t mean solving their problems.
