Let’s talk about… a teacher getting 20 years in prison, why every high school bully grows up to either sell crypto or become a life coach, the scientific reason couples start looking related after 2 years together, Alex Cooper is pregnant and honestly... I took that personally.

Let's also talk about... the fact I had a literal pdf file teacher in high school, how I accidentally ended up inside Robert Pattinson’s house, and the Irish man who underestimated my ability to ruin his day.

Everyone thinks men fall in love because of chemistry. According to science? Not even close.

Violet breaks down what actually makes a man go from interested to invested, why so many women accidentally sabotage the early stages of dating, and the biggest mistake people make when they confuse attraction with commitment. From the science of attachment to the psychology of pursuit, Violet explains how men really bond, what makes them stay, and why forcing a relationship almost always backfires.

If you've ever found yourself wondering, "What are we?" this is for you.

Violet is back with another Series of Unfortunate Events, and this time a blind date turns into one of the strangest nights of her life. There’s a driver, a bodyguard, a hopeless romantic billionaire, and an unforgettable conversation about AI that somehow makes modern dating feel even more depressing.

Love may be blind.

But apparently it also comes with a security detail, a free trip to Europe, and the possibility of accidentally becoming someone’s sixth wife.

Let’s talk about… how $1 gas station sushi may not be the vibe. That time I met God while fighting for my life in the bathroom at 14. How Off Campus made me realise I’ve been wearing the wrong bra size for 2 years. 

Then we get into Euphoria. What life lesson is Sam Levinson trying to teach us exactly? Don’t get buried alive? Don’t trust girls with n*zi tattoos? nice toes and a jacuzzi will get you a last minute $1M dollar loan???

Then we debate if stripping is realistically the next step for half the Euphoria cast, if Maddie is a good friend or the town’s fool, THE END of Nate Jacobs, and 5 fun facts about surviving a venomous snake's bite.

Not kidding about the random venomous snake facts... definitely listen because it could save your life.

Let’s talk about… my love for women, dating again, romanticising the past when you absolutely shouldn’t, and whether it’s a red flag if your new man makes your skin crawl every time he opens his mouth… or if that’s just love? At least in BookTok terms.

Violet is back with another Series of Unfortunate Events, and this time she’s unpacking her “Coming to America” origin story. From her first deeply questionable attempt at fitting in, to the accessory that made her feel like the coolest Russian alive, to one night where being included maybe should’ve come with a warning label, this episode is peak Violet: embarrassing, unfiltered, and one bad decision away from a Dateline reenactment. Don’t trust everything you’re handed, don’t trust gas station sushi, and for the love of God, Google first.
