Do you have the tissues ready? 'cause it's about to get EMOTIONAL. Today I present to you my three-part Manifestation audio diary. Each section is very close to my heart so listening carefully.

Do you feel like you've lost track of your dreams? That your life has become so mundane that it doesn't bring you the joy you once had? If the answer is yes, this episode is made especially for you. During this episode, I talk about how important it is to never lose track of your dreams, how to manifest the life that you want for yourself, and blocking negative energies that other people might put upon you.

Never let anything or anyone get in your way because you are beautiful and you are loved. Make sure to remove yourself from situations that instead of adding value, make you question why you're even involved.

You are a light in this universe and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise BADDIES!

Today's episode was brought to you by my sponsors at HBO MAX, check out their newest show F-boy Island.

 In honor of September's #SuicidePreventionMonth today's episode covers depression because doesn't it sometimes just feel like everyone's depressed??? Well... it's because everyone probably is.

On today's episode I share one of the darkest times of my life. As I choke up and cry, I share my painful story of shame, battling with clinical depression 5 years ago and how I almost didn't think I'd survive it. I also discuss the difference between being sad, feeling depressed, and having actual clinical depression.

PERSONAL MESSAGE TO MY BADDIES OUT THERE:

Please know that you are not alone, you are loved, and I'm so proud of you for getting out of bed today! The pain you are feeling won't last forever... I promise. The sun will rise tomorrow and we will try again. <3

This week Violet is joined by her beautiful bestie Francesca Farago! Together the two are tanned from their recent vacation to Mexico and ready to spill some MAJOR TEA. The girls take us on a minute by minute journey of their entire trip that is SO in-depth that you’re gonna feel like you were wasted (or on shrooms like Violet) on the beach with them. 

Francesca fills us in on ALL the deets about her infamous relationship with Harry Jowsey, her relationship status, and gives us the exclusive and most recent update that you have NOT heard anywhere else. 

Violet also tells us about her vacation-bae and how you truly can find love in the most hopeless places…like at a restaurant in Tulum while you’re already ten tequila shots deep. Even though he devolves into hopeless-bae and forgets she exists the very next day…but hey! It wouldn’t be a true vacation romance without some pain, right?

You might believe in it, you might not - but today you’re going to learn that manifestation is real.

No, you’re not just gonna think about a million dollars and it’s gonna appear in your account, sorry. But you will learn the importance of daily practices and application of the art of manifestation, in order to receive the greatness you deserve in your life. 

Continuing the month of personal growth on Almost Adulting, today we welcome Robert Zink. Robert is a modern day businessman, successful life coach and mentor who teaches astonishing things in the area of personal empowerment, career enhancement, and the law of attraction. Violet and Robert believe in the power of manifestation and how it can truly change our lives. They begin the conversation by defining what manifestation is and how we can attract positive things. Next, Robert explains the three steps to successfully attracting the person you’re interested in, how we always attract people that are like us - whether we’re aware of it or not. Finally, the duo discusses the thin line of when wanting something so badly can turn into an obsession - and how to balance this line in a beneficial way using manifestation.

Hey there, Besties! Today, we are going to talk about the hype around Love Is Blind Season 5. It’s very unhinged so prepare yourself because we have a lot of catching up to do. 

Violetta shares her insights on the Season 5's casts and how they come off after binge-watching the episodes. From the insecurities of Jared, who's projecting his size anxieties, to Chris, the golden retriever of the group who oddly sees himself as a playboy, it's a rollercoaster ride of personalities and self-perception.

Amidst it all, Lydia's unnervingly straight-faced comfort moment and her declaration that, "You are so much like me," add a sprinkle of intrigue to this entertaining exploration of youthful relationships. Buckle up for a podcast that's as quirky as it is relatable, as we navigate the fascinating world of 20-something love, one eccentric character at a time.

As promised to finish up cult month/October, we are bringing back last week’s anonymous guest and Scientology survivor for a part 2 continuation of last week's episode! and this time, we are focusing on some of the negative aspects of it.

Today, on Almost Adulting, we’re continuing where we left off, but diving into the most current conspiracies and rumors surrounding Scientology. Violet and the guest unpack the mystery of Shelly, the current leader of the Church of Scientology, David’s Miscavige’s previously active and visible wife who has suddenly disappeared from the limelight. Naturally this leads to the question: are Scientologists turning a blind eye on what’s really happening inside the organization? And what is their rule about same sex marriage, porn, and s*x outside of marriage that makes anyone almost abandon their freedom once they become part of the group? Our guest will break down all of this, and fill us in on where the people of Scientology truly believe Shelly is and what David’s latest whereabouts are. Tune in Besties!

Though we all come from different backgrounds and realities, we are all dreamers. No matter the hardships faced or the obstacles thrown in our way, that doesn’t mean we should be cruel and harsh to ourselves. We can dream multiple dreams even when we can only realize them one at a time.

Today we welcome Barrett Pall to Almost Adulting! Barrett is a humanitarian and professional life coach to CEOs of fortune 500 companies, celebrities, Middle Eastern Royalty, and everyday incredible humans - because that is what we all are. Today's episode is opened by a conversation about Barrett finding his voice through the trials and tribulations of his life, which led him to become a major advocate for the LGBTQ community and underprivileged communities. Based on his life experiences, Barrett explains how he was always a dreamer and teaches tools to help practice constant gratitude and mental awareness, regardless of how dark the world may seem at times. Finally, the duo discusses why setting boundaries for yourself especially when using social media is a must, the importance of taking care of yourself so you are able to take care of others, and how we always have a choice of how we approach life and our dreams. Besties, sometimes the going gets tough, but you are never alone - tune in to find out why!

We often project our limits onto other people because it can be difficult to recognize and confront our own limitations. By projecting our limitations onto others, we may feel a temporary sense of relief or justification for our own shortcomings. However, this type of behavior can be harmful both to ourselves and those around us, as it can limit our personal growth and prevent us from seeing the full potential in others.     

Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes the one and only Jay Shetty. Jay Shetty is a New York Times best-selling author, podcaster, former monk, and motivational speaker. He spent several years as a monk in India, where he learned about mindfulness, meditation, and spirituality. Jay's work focuses on personal development, mindfulness, and self-improvement. He also hosts a popular podcast called "On Purpose with Jay Shetty," where he interviews various guests on topics related to personal growth and spirituality. 

Together with Jay, Violetta opens the door to being more in-tune with yourself as she and Jay exchange ideas on the limitations we set on ourselves and for others, understanding the different forms of love, why our fears can be defined as unformed boundaries, and how to connect with people with vulnerability and openness.

Hey, Besties! Welcome to another Confession Corner episode! Let's talk about something important – emotional neglect.  It's something many of us may have experienced without even realizing it. Emotional neglect happens when our feelings, needs, and emotions are consistently ignored or invalidated, leaving us feeling unheard and unseen. It can be tough, but remember, you are not alone in this.

Violetta shares her personal story with her friend and how the act of opening up to that friend unplugged so many pent up emotion, highlighting the importance of talking about feelings and embracing vulnerability. We will explore the impact of taking accountability for everything and the power of vulnerability in strengthening our connections. Crying becomes a powerhouse tool for emotional healing as we validate our emotions. Plus, find reassurance that time heals all wounds and love will find you again. 

Get ready to embrace your emotions, love yourself fiercely.

Have you ever wondered if height really matters? According to one wise mom, what men lack in height, they make up for in other ways. But is it enough to make a difference?   

Today on Almost Adulting, we welcome internet personality, comedian, and podcast host Trevor Wallace! Violetta and Trevor start their conversation with a random but hilariously funny game, the rapid fire questions. Then, the duo talk about situational dating scenarios where they pitch in their thoughts and opinions with a little bit of p*rn talk on the side, sexual preferences, and the do’s and don’ts of casual and long-term dating.

WELCOME TO CONFESSION CORNER!!! Hey Besties, Happy New Year! As promised, we are bringing back an exciting episode series this year. And so, the long wait is over. It’s finally here!

Today, Violetta and Kiana sit down to listen to several fan stories. To spice things up a bit, we will be hearing from sugar babies and their experiences with their sugar daddy (or daddies, for those lucky enough to have more than one). From avoiding having s*xual contact and not getting reimbursed for a Bahamas trip to a 75-year old cocaine-user grandpa and getting mind-blown through skull fucking, these stories just keeps coming!

What’s your craziest hookup story? And don’t leave out the juicy (or gross) details!

It’s probably one that involves a first date, dinner, alcohol, and some intimate moments that are either hilariously funny or morbidly disastrous. Whatever your story is, I don’t think it can even come close to the one you’re about to hear today. What about the time your boyfriend cheated on you, only for the girl he cheated with to end up pregnant? Today we’re talking about the things that should definitely be told to a therapist, but are honestly way funnier to tell on this podcast. 

Today, we have Alex Papiccio! Alex is a social media personality, a comedic soul, a recurring guest, and one of Violet’s dearest friends. With their already developed chemistry, Violet and Alex dive straight into their hilarious hookup stories, Alex’s extremely hot boyfriend how their s*xual activities have significantly changed after living together, tips on how you can score a sugar (or splenda!) daddy, and why women need to stop doing “wifey” duties when they only have the “girlfriend” title. I know that one may have stung a bit, but it’s a reality check that we ALL need to hear sometimes. This episode is jam packed and will have you in tears - happy tears that is! Tune in now, besties!

Besties, throughout September we covered all things personal growth and really checked in with each other. So the best way to end this month is by talking to Neil Strauss, a ten-time New York Times best-selling author. His books, The Game and Rules Of The Game, for which he went undercover in a secret society of pickup artists for two years, made him an international celebrity and an accidental hero to men around the world. Though this sounds a little questionable, the topic here is GROWTH, which is exactly what’s displayed here today. 

This week on Almost Adulting, Violet and Neil begin the conversation by diving right into the controversy of his best selling book, The Game. Violet asks Neil to dive deep to help people understand who he was at that time and unpack the chokehold the book had on society. Of course, this isn't an Almost Adulting episode if the two didn’t talk about relationships. Neil explains why divorce was one of the best things him and his ex-wife could have ever done, leading them to having an amazing relationship today. They also discuss the common mistakes that often lead to breakups, how to move on from said breakups, and why a cheater will remain a cheater unless they mention these specific words…tune in Besties!

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.

And sometimes…we just need to hear the cold hard truth. Kidding. But when you only focus on the negative things in life, you don’t realize that that’s all you’re allowing your life to be. We all deserve the most beautiful things in life, and sometimes tough love from your bestie is exactly what you needed to hear.

Today we welcome TV host, podcaster, and Sports Illustrated model Kamie Crawford to Almost Adulting! Violet and Kamie, instant besties and Scorpio sisters, start off the conversation by talking brutally honestly about some of their own faults, and even their friends. They discuss how their delivery may not always be the best, but it may just be a Scorpio thing. They also talk in depth about Kamie’s life post her 5-year relationship, how NOT having a rebound after a breakup is a painful part of growing up, the two forms of cheating, and which of them is truly worse than the other. The truth hurts besties, no matter which way you put it.

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.

Hey Besties! Welcome to another Benson Book Club Tuesday! It’s been a favorite so we will discuss another chapter of 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think by Brianna Wiest - a collection of the author’s most beloved pieces of writing. Violetta dives into a heartfelt exploration of the transient nature of relationships, where we ponder the journey from being strangers to becoming lovers, and sometimes, strangers once again. This podcast delves into the gratitude we owe to those who've departed from our lives, the insights gained from lost love, and the realization that every encounter has its purpose, often serving as a lesson in our personal growth. Through stories and reflections, we uncover the essence of our connections, learning to appreciate every moment and person as part of our life's evolving narrative.

“Our society makes victims feel like villains.”

Final Episode of May’s Mental Health Month

People deal with childhood trauma differently just as the horrible experience is different for every person, for every victim. The only consolation that victims have is a support system that is always there for them, that is present with them when their overwhelming feelings arise and when painful memories are triggered. It is in our support group that we can learn to accept what happened, live through it, and move on with life. But what if we don’t have that kind of support group?

Today’s guest is actress, model, singer, and songwriter Bella Thorne. Warning: We are discussing sensitive topics and our way of dealing with these issues may not be what people might expect. Nonetheless, we get to listen to how a victim and a survivor of sexual abuse grew up to be a forward-focused person, always working hard to make a name for herself, and is now open about her experiences with dating and relationship struggles.

Changing your perspective is like putting on a new pair of glasses that reveals a whole new world. It's essential because our outlook shapes our reality. When we shift our viewpoint, we unlock fresh insights, untapped potential, and a realm of possibilities that were previously hidden. 

Today, Violetta shares the three reasons why we remain stuck with where we are as well as the action steps we can take to move forward. From how our actions create our reality, how our emotions affect those actions, and the thoughts we have while taking action. It's all about shifting your mindset, and girl, you're about to crush it!

Hey, Besties! Today on Almost Adulting, we welcome back MJ Corey (@kardashian_kolloquium) to continue their conversation about the Kardashian family and how they continue to stay relevant to this day. Violet and MJ go straight into discussing how Kylie has emerged from her sisters' shadows and built an empire for herself. The pair also discuss the Kardashian's rebranding strategy centered around how they look and the power they have as a family rooting on their differing personalities and businesses they built from it, and the simplistic language the family uses that's easy to digest and reproduce. They also exchange ideas on the effect of the hate culture and why people ended up copying the people they tend to hate and how one can become either the victim, the hero, or the villain in someone else's narrative.
