Secure The Ring w/ Patti Stanger Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

Hey Besties! In the second week of the LOVE month, we will focus on dating - when to know when you’ve found the right man for you.

Today on Almost Adulting, Violet is once again joined by Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger. There is no stopping the two from going deep into the dating game. They discuss how success can affect the relationship depending on who’s more successful, turning casual dates into serious relationships (that can potentially lead to engagement, and eventually marriage), how a man’s attitude is dependent on whether he’s found the ‘right’ girl for him, the ups and downs that comes with dating, and so much more!

Why We Love Unavailable People w/ Mark Groves Feb 02, 2023

Show notes

Hey Besties! Welcome to the month of LOVE! This month we will be diving into everything relationships so you know what that means…the good, the bad, and the unavoidable ugly

To kick off love month on Almost Adulting Violet is joined by human connection specialist and friend of the show, Mark Groves! Mark is the founder of Create The Love movement and is a self-described ‘emotional translator’. Together the two focus on the painful topic of why so many of us are not only consistently drawn to unavailable people, but spend so much time being caretakers and trying to ‘fix’ them. Violet and Mark then deep dive into the baggage many of us carry and explain how so many of us unknowingly exist in an emotionally dysregulated response state - which may explain an issue or two in your relationship. Besties, we’re kicking off love month strong with things you NEED to be aware of, but it’ll feel good in the end. Can’t have the good without weeding out the bad!

Being Delusional WORKS Jan 05, 2023

Show notes

Happy New Year Besties! Welcome to another year of Almost Adulting!

To kick off 2023 we’re starting the month with FOUR consecutive Benson Bootcamps. These boot camps are specifically designed so you start the year off strong with help from none other than your big sister, Violet! Now are you ready for your best year yet?

In today's inaugural Benson Bootcamp, we’re setting the tone for this year! How are we doing that? By being DELUSIONAL. And no, not the kind of delusional that your ex-best friend was, but the kind that is going to change your life for the better. Today Violet deep dives into the mindset that she has sworn by from a young age. A mindset that she credits for all the success she’s obtained thus far. By implementing teachings such as the law of assumption, frequency illusions, and being straight up delusional about the life you see for yourself, there is no one who can knock you off your pivot or deter you from the life you’re creating for yourself. This is YOUR year Bestie, now go take it!
