You’re not single because you’re broken—maybe you’re just asking the wrong questions.

In this deeply personal and hilariously honest solo episode, I share 30 questions you need to ask yourself if you’re serious about finding real love—not the situationship, not the trauma-bond, not the 2-week high followed by ghosting. We're talking love that lasts.

I also open up for the first time about being deaf—how it’s made me feel small, different, and deeply afraid of being pitied… and how I moved past it.

This is the episode where we stop waiting to be "healed enough" for love—and finally figure out what we actually want and deserve.

Tune in if:

• You keep attracting the same wrong person in a different font
• You’re overthinking love to death
• You’re ready to be loved without fixing every flaw first

Listen ‘til the end for the story that might just change how you see yourself—and love—forever.

Today I’m joined by viral creator MJ Gray to break down everything from the Wizard Liz drama, delusional men who want “traditional women” but can’t even lead… to why the 50/50 dating fantasy is officially dead. We’re talking cheating, bill-paying boyfriends, men who secretly resent powerful women, and why you should think twice who you have a baby with.

If you’ve ever wondered why the guy who chases you ends up trying to humble you, why some friends feel like emotional leeches, or why men always “circle back” after destroying everything—this episode is your new bible. 

And be sure to tune in to the last 10 min since I drop a final update on Wizard Liz that might change the way you see her forever.

Ever wonder why YOU are SO addicted to people who pull away? Today, you’ll finally find out.

If the harder you chase, the faster they run — you might be trapped in the anxious-avoidant cycle: where one partner craves closeness, and the other panics when things get too real. In this BBC episode, Violet breaks down why this dynamic feels like home but leaves you emotionally starved.

Inspired by the book Attached, we dive into real stories, psych-backed insights, and how to finally break free.

Bonus: Don’t miss the quiz at the end—It’ll help you decode your partner’s attachment style fast. Jump to minute 37:00 if you’re done guessing and ready to know who you’re really dealing with.
