Ever wondered why you're not happy all the time? Well, you're not supposed to be! It's okay not to feel the sunshine every day, and sometimes, the cloudy moments are what make the sunny ones shine even brighter.

We got ROBBED in St Tropez18 Jul 202300:37:16

Surviving a break-in is like being catapulted into an action movie you never auditioned for. In that moment, time seems to stand still as you navigate a maze of emotions - fear, shock, and a newfound appreciation for every breath you take. It's like a wake-up call that shakes you to your core, reminding you of the fragility of life and the resilience that resides within you. Despite the chaos and uncertainty, surviving that harrowing experience empowers you like nothing else.

Today, Violetta is going to share what transpired during her recent trip to St. Tropez. The energy is electric as she tries her best to get close to her newfound friends and then realizing that despite the initial connections, something feels off. From worse to worst, the house she had been staying with the group had been robbed! The realization hits like a tidal wave - the house had been robbed. But amidst the trauma and the missing personal belongings, there's a glimmer of gratitude. She's safe, unharmed, and reminded of the irreplaceable value of life.

St. Tropez may have thrown unexpected twists her way, but she's determined to let this experience shape her into a woman who cherishes every moment, holds onto what truly matters, and never takes her safety and well-being for granted.

The Science of Orgasms: A Guide to Unlocking Your Pleasure w/ Emily Morse08 Jun 202301:22:06

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.

Energy Vampires w/ Daniela Melchior01 Jun 202300:35:10

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.

5 Mind Games Narcissists Play - The Psychology of a Narcissist25 May 202300:35:39

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.

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.

How To Master Your Emotions w/ Jay Shetty04 May 202301:13:34

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.

Confession Corner: FAMILY DRAMA18 Apr 202300:26:48

Life is like a game of Jenga, you never know which block is going to make the whole thing come crashing down. One minute you're on top of the world, and the next you're wondering how you ended up in a pile of rubble. But that's the beauty of life, isn't it? The unpredictability keeps things interesting and makes every day a new adventure, or in some instances, a misadventure. 

Today, Violetta listens to brand new stories from Reddit. One talks about falling in love with his student ten years younger than him while the other is about a 70 year old grandpa who gets tangled in what’s probably the most unrealistic opportunity when he meets with a 20-year old babysitter one evening. The stories just keep getting wild so stick around and see how intense these stories can be.  


If you want to be featured on the next Confession Corner call Violet at 424-278-4268 and leave an anonymous voicemail!

The Downfall of Casual Sex w/ Lainey Molnar13 Apr 202301:10:31

Have you ever found yourself trapped in a cycle of self-hate, unable to escape the negative thoughts and feelings that consume you? It's a painful and difficult place to be, but it's not a permanent one. With time, patience, and effort, you can break free from the grip of self-hate and learn to love yourself fully and completely.    

Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes Lainey Molnar - a digital artist with thousands of followers online who draws women empowerment comics to liberate women from the immense societal pressure and to help all of us heal and grow through (self-)love, kindness, and acceptance. 

Violetta and Lainey share their most vulnerable experiences starting from growing through a long phase of self-hate that became debilitating, self-doubt that made you feel less and ugly and unworthy of love, to the double standards of hookup culture and breaking free from an abusive relationship.
