Daddy Issues with Violet Benson

WELCOME TO TUESDAY'S VAULT ARCHIVES :DToday we cover navigating life as a strong woman, from getting that promotion to having the love that you deserve. Here's how you can have it all. This week Violet is joined by innovative business leader and author, Simone Melisas. Together they discuss how to dominate in both business and relationships. Simone shares her personal stories and how they’ve influenced her life not only professionally but also personally. She lets us in on her past relationship and how finding a good balance and compromising helped her have a better relationship and ultimately being able to look introspectively. By the end of this episode you’ll learn how to put yourself first, and most importantly make the life you've always dreamed of, become a reality.Advertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fm Learn more about Simone here: https://www.simonemilasas.com/Get more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

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!

It can be a hard pill to swallow, but you can’t also become the person you want to be if you’re stuck in the past. There’s no fairytale or storybook ending if you don’t fix what’s within, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone!Today we welcome sex and relationships therapist, Todd Baratz! Todd has devoted his entire life to wellness as he actively works against all formalities, traditions and diagnosis. Together Violet and Todd discuss the importance of intimacy negotiation in a relationship, identifying self sabotaging behaviors, and how to fill emotional voids. The two also deep dive into the myth of being “relationship ready”. The truth is, there’s no such thing. Relational love leads to self love. Besties, sometimes the real breakup you need is with your old patterns and behaviors. Contact Todd and find his online courses here: https://www.toddsbaratz.com/Advertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fmWhat to Listen For:00:00 Introduction01:02 What it means to start therapy at 10 years old05:03 “I literally just said your partner has fantasies…”08:07 Couple issues tend to come from personal trauma10:17 Our relationships are emotional14:02 Everybody deals with relationships at different pace15:35 Self-sabotaging18:45 Why are we drawn to emotionally unavailable people22:23 How can you tell if someone is emotionally unavailable?23:25 When should you walk away?25:23 Lies that we hear about relationships27:11 It’s normal to sit with your feelings30:03 How do you deal with uncertainty?32:29 The pressure to succeed with relationships35:39 Where’s the line between feeling and thinking?37:56 Stop blaming people about your feelings46:41 Feeling the victim all the time39:38 Why does language matter so much? 43:47 Self discovery happens, it’s not a rush46:39 Being the victim constantly50:01 Can you still be in a relationship while still working on yourself52:27 Good habits to make yourself feel betterConnect with Todd on:InstagramFacebookTikTokWebsiteYour Diagnonsense PodcastGet more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeAdvertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fmSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Read it and weep besties. It’s the truth. Stop wasting your time over a boy who just wants you around to boost his ego, to do his bidding, and to make himself more attractive to other women. Boys are just now learning how to live without their mom doing their laundry for them, let alone know a thing about commitment yet. Boys will keep you waiting and play mind games with you, and the LAST thing we’re doing is putting up with it any longer.Today, we welcome Patti Stanger back to Almost Adulting. As a third generation matchmaker, Patti founded the Millionaire's Club in January of 2000 after serving five years as the Director of Marketing/Special Events for Great Expectations, the oldest and largest dating service in the U.S. Given her expertise in matchmaking and Violet’s experience in dating men, the duo talks about the male logic while dating, why successful women have higher standards and don’t consider marriage in their early twenties and why we should always keep a three-man rotation. Violet and Patti also discuss the effects of poor parenting, the real reason why men take advantage of the woman emotionally, and the many complicated aspects of dating while technology is evolving.

Hey, Besties! It’s the first Thursday of July and this month, we are celebrating relationships! My favorite topic because I am OBVIOUSLY so good at them! So get comfortable because we’re about to get uncomfortable! This entire month we’re discussing love, partnerships, the different types of partnerships, and unpacking all the good, bad, and the ugly that comes with them! But before we get into that, Violet gives a quick life update and tells us about her recent rendezvous to Greece, where she planned on sight seeing and ATVing, but…all she got was c*caine and ket. Better luck next time!See the thing is, we’re ALMOST Adulting. Never said we were all the way there yet! Today, we have Bridget Kelly & Mandii B, hosts of the See, The Thing Is podcast - and with Violet joining the mix, we’ve found the trio you never knew you needed! In this episode we’re covering it ALL. From being the other woman, being the cheater, why or why not we plan on getting married, and even childhood trauma that shaped how we approach relationships in our adult lives. Violet, Bridget, and Mandii start the conversation off hot by diving into the various types of relationships, from the most traditional types, to the polar opposite. With varying opinions on basically everything, this episode is sure to open your mind to some things you definitely have never considered before. The trio also discusses living as modern day women (who’s independent and doesn’t need ANY man - but may want one!) and where men stand when in a relationship with self-sustaining, self-providing, successful career women. We’re starting this month off hot besties, so get ready!THIS WEEK'S PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Lumi Labs & Microdose:Microdose is available nationwide, to learn more about microdosing THC just do a quick search online or go to Microdose.com and use code: ADULTING to get free shipping & 30% off your first order.Dave: If you’re in a pinch and need some extra help, don’t freak out!

Are things ever going TOO well so your brain forces you to mess it up?Trust me, you’re not alone! As part of our human nature, we yearn for genuine love and affection. We tend to gravitate toward relationships that will reinforce our need for affection and validate our feelings. We always search for someone who can be there with us when we feel lost and helpless, and someone who can embrace us even when we feel unworthy of love. Sounds simple enough right? But if all of that is true, why do all of my relationships keep turning into relationsh*ts?! Well today besties, we’re getting some answers. Today, we have Jessica Baum. Jessica is a psychotherapist, author, thought leader, relationship coach, and founder of the Be Self-full® - a company that provides tailored coaching services, helping women empower themselves. Out of the four relationship attachment styles, Violet and Jessica put their focus on the Anxious and Avoidant style and why people who possess these attachment styles are easily drawn to each other. So if you’re wondering why things can be going GREAT only for your brain to shut down and force you to run away, you’re about to find out! Don’t worry, you’re not as messed up as you think you are. The duo also talks about how love bombing, despite its negative connotation online, can be pleasantly genuine, how to set healthy boundaries for you and your relationships, how we actually CAN get addicted to a person, and why we are responsible for our own anxiety.

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!

“Our society makes victims feel like villains.”Final Episode of May’s Mental Health MonthPeople 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.  THIS WEEK'S PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Diet Smoke Go to https://www.dietsmoke.com/ and use promo code: ADULTING for 20% off your entire order. What to Listen For:00:00 Introduction01:17 Something weird most people don’t know about you?04:53 How did you get into acting so young?10:17 When you’re feeling a little hateful13:05 “She must have an easy life…”17:16 Losing your father at a young age22:37 Coping with a losing a loved one27:43 We don’t get enough support from our system35:54 The long-term effects of sexual abuse41:41 Talking about your trauma 48:40 Crazy things I did with my sister54:37 Non-negotiable when it comes to dating57:23 What's the worst day you've ever been on?   01:08:25 How do you break up with someone?01:10:32 What are you currently working on?Connect with Bella on:InstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterTikTokThe Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental DisarrayGet more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, we will focus on WHY it’s okay to ditch your dream job when it’s making you miserable and unhappy.

Women have been struggling with weight shaming and adapting body positivity because of the misconception that there is only one body type that’s perfect. Truth is, women are built differently and we all need to learn how to appreciate the body we have and wear it with utmost confidence! Today, we welcome Remi Bader. Remi went viral in 2020 for posting realistic trys and hauls that I used to watch, and they were hilarious, where she basically showed the reality of buying clothes online when you don't have the same body type as the models on the website. Since taking over TikToK, Remi has made a name for herself in the fashion world, and even just signed with Victoria's Secret Pink as a brand ambassador and size consultant. What to Listen For:00:52 Everyone knows everything02:07 Getting started on TikTok04:51 A good brand with a variety of sizing08:14 Losing weight and getting a backlash11:14 Built big doesn’t mean you always support body positivity17:38 Dealing with hateful comments18:58 How did the Victoria Secret deal happen?23:21 When did you start loving your body?24:43 Confidence in the bedroom and intimate moments27:20 Parents need to learn when not to say anything30:11 Funny guys are easier to talk with31:08 Future plans and projects32:20 Do people get your sense of humor? Connect with Remi Bader:InstagramTikTokConnect with me on:InstagramTwitterFacebookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
