She's a 10 BUT... w/ Trevor Wallace Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

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.

Grow In Love w/ Nick Viall Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

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!
