"How much is TOO MUCH to Share: in Relationships, at work, with Friends and Family"

Talking about money in the family can get awkward, but let’s be real—it’s necessary. In this episode of Not Your Average Aunties, we’re breaking down the importance of being transparent about household expenses. From mortgage to heating bills, we’re calling out the need for open conversations so family members (even the non-contributors) understand what it really takes to keep the lights on.
But we’re not stopping there. We also dive into the bigger question: how much is too much to share? Whether it’s personal stories, struggles, or life experiences, we debate if being open helps others prepare for life’s challenges or just adds stress.
👉 When should you open up to your kids or friends?
👉 Does sharing teach them responsibility, or make you feel too vulnerable?
As always, we’re keeping it honest, relatable, and just a little messy—because adulting ain’t cheap, and the fine line of sharing is trickier than you think.
