Daddy Issues with Violet Benson

WELCOME TO CONFESSION CORNER - PART 3

Hey Besties! this month's confession corner is all about your WORST first dates! We couldn’t get enough of last week’s drunken first date stories about hilarious, shocking, or just the worst ever you’re starting to have second thoughts about dating. 

Today, Violetta and her childhood friend Bree are back with another batch of horrible date stories. One includes giving the guy multiple chances despite the barrage of red flags in the hopes that it will somehow ‘get better’ in the end. The other ended up getting ditched for another girl in the bar. Listen up as the girls pitch in their own stories of worst first dates and some pieces of advice on how not to end up with a bad date!

Hey Besties! Happy Heart’s Day! It’s Valentine’s week so it’s only natural that we talk about being in love and experiencing these strong feelings with the right partner.  

Today on Almost Adulting, we welcome back celebrity heartthrob, best-selling author, esteemed host of The Viall Files podcast, and adored member of Bachelor Nation, Nick Viall. A year ago or so, Violet and Nick talked about dating advice from a man's perspective. This time, their conversation revolves around growing in love instead of staying in love, the value of being consistent throughout the relationship which people don’t talk about a lot, how trust and open communication, despite sounding cliché, is the ultimate key to a lasting love! All these and of course making each other a priority works too! So listen in to find out more simple yet realistic love advice!

Hey Besties! In the second week of the LOVE month, we will focus on dating - when to know when you’ve found the right man for you.

Today on Almost Adulting, Violet is once again joined by Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger. There is no stopping the two from going deep into the dating game. They discuss how success can affect the relationship depending on who’s more successful, turning casual dates into serious relationships (that can potentially lead to engagement, and eventually marriage), how a man’s attitude is dependent on whether he’s found the ‘right’ girl for him, the ups and downs that comes with dating, and so much more!

Hey Besties! Welcome to the month of LOVE! This month we will be diving into everything relationships so you know what that means…the good, the bad, and the unavoidable ugly

To kick off love month on Almost Adulting Violet is joined by human connection specialist and friend of the show, Mark Groves! Mark is the founder of Create The Love movement and is a self-described ‘emotional translator’. Together the two focus on the painful topic of why so many of us are not only consistently drawn to unavailable people, but spend so much time being caretakers and trying to ‘fix’ them. Violet and Mark then deep dive into the baggage many of us carry and explain how so many of us unknowingly exist in an emotionally dysregulated response state - which may explain an issue or two in your relationship. Besties, we’re kicking off love month strong with things you NEED to be aware of, but it’ll feel good in the end. Can’t have the good without weeding out the bad!
