First segment - Catch up with Violetta - 0:00 - 28:21

Get ready to pee your pants with today’s segment! Violetta discuss a bizarre news story that involves a pink Tesla and a man caught porking it, like it's just another Tuesday. She takes it up a notch and imagines a world where women acted like men for a day. She ends the segment with a trip down memory lane to her wild childhood —including the time she almost died (not clickbait) while her parents had no choice by to watch in sheer terror.

Second segment - Are You Damaged Goods? - 28:22 -54:25

Today we crush the myth of "damaged goods" once and for all. Violetta breaks down the four critical mistakes women make when dating under the pressure of that ticking biological clock. And gives you 4 crucial dating tips that will save you, so you can stop feeling like leftovers and start acting like the main course you are. We’re talking:

• Do not make the mistake of dating when you are your lowest - you will accidentally pick up all the strays.
• NEVER out communicate a man - how you're turning him off. 
• Don’t hop into bed thinking it’ll keep him—newsflash, it won’t.
• Ditch the pity parties—your ex was trash, and he’s gone, so stop giving him airtime.. especially on your dates.
• A little pep talk to close the episode that will uplift your mood and mindset when it comes to yourself and your dating life.

This is just the start, bestie. Bootcamp’s gonna be your best friend this month, with each episode hitting harder and empowering you more. Share this with your friends to reclaim your worth and level up!! so hit play and let’s get into it! 🔥

You don't get brownie points for going the extra mile for a man you met two weeks ago. You don't get brownie points for putting up with his disrespect or cooking for him a five course meal on the second date, because you want to show him that you are wifey material, even though he has never once reciprocated your energy.

So if you want someone to chase you, you have to treat them like a drug dealer treats their clients. You get them hooked and then you threaten to take it away -- Not with your words, but with your actions. Follow my 5 step guide, and they won't be able to get enough off you.
