Loving your own body plays a crucial role in relationships and intimacy, especially when it comes to sex. When we struggle to embrace our bodies, it can create self-consciousness and insecurity in the bedroom. These feelings can hinder our ability to fully let go and enjoy intimate moments with our partners. However, when we cultivate self-love and acceptance, it empowers us to be more confident and comfortable in our own skin. This newfound confidence not only enhances our own pleasure but also fosters a deeper connection and trust with our partners, leading to more fulfilling and intimate experiences together.

Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes a favorite returning guest, Emily Morse. Emily Morse is a well-known sex and relationship expert, host of the popular podcast "Sex with Emily," and author of the upcoming book "Smart Sex." With her expertise in psychology and human sexuality, she's all about helping people create stronger connections and more fulfilling experiences in their love lives. Emily's podcast is a trusted resource for honest advice, and now her book is set to provide even more wisdom and insights into the world of smart and satisfying sex.

Together with Emily, Violetta talks about loving and being comfortable with your body, communicating your desires to your partner, oral sex, the use of lubes, the importance of foreplay, and how to stay present and focused during sex.

Why is it crucial to invest time and effort in individuals who recognize your true worth? The answer lies in the profound impact that such people can have on your personal growth and development. When you surround yourself with those who appreciate and understand your value, their presence serves as a catalyst for your own self-belief and confidence.       

Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes Portuguese actress and Suicide Squad star Daniela Melchior. The duo talks about the time when Daniela had to pretend to be Violetta’s ex-boyfriend begging for her attention, why it’s best to move on from someone who can’t appreciate you, and how real energy exchange is.

Welcome to our closing episode for the mental health month! We are often drawn to narcissists due to a combination of complex psychological factors. Their charismatic charm, confidence, and seemingly larger-than-life presence can initially captivate us. Unfortunately, this attraction often leads to a painful cycle of manipulation, emotional abuse, and neglect, as narcissists prioritize their own needs above all else.

Today, Violetta starts the episode by defining what is a narcissist and the characteristics to look out for. She proceeds with enumerating the different mind games narcissistic people often do to trick us into believing they genuinely care and other character traits to help us spot if we are dealing with one. And finally, she ends it with the most common reasons why many find narcissistic people attractive.

TW: Self harm

Why is self-love crucial for a fulfilling life? One answer lies in the transformative power of healthy living. Embracing self-love means nourishing our bodies, minds, and souls with the care they deserve. When we prioritize our well-being, engaging in regular exercise, consuming nutritious foods, and practicing mindfulness, we cultivate a profound connection with ourselves.      

Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes Pursuit of Wellness host and Bloom Nutrition founder Mari Llewellyn. Mari’s journey to self betterment started when she finally decided to heal her body and mind through consuming a healthy diet and the continuous pursuit of wellness. She also shares her episodes of self harm, dealing with shame, and why showing up for yourself is the best form of self love.
