Episode 31: IT TAKES A VILLAGE and aunties and uncles

Loading player...
This week on The Great Equalizer, Sam is missing her #1, Charlene is going through the motions and we talk aunties, uncles and that proverbial village that raises our kids.

While the TGE ladies would like to think that we have this raising kids thing waxed (*choke*), we have to admit that we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for our people, our tribe, the village around us that gives the right kind of support exactly when we need it.

So in this episode we talk about the super subs – our close friends, brothers, sisters, BILS and SiLS. Ag, you guys… We heart you big time. Thanks for loving our kids as if they’re your own. Thanks for recognising when we’re about to crack and showing up exactly when we need it.
