We got ROBBED in St Tropez Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

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.
