Besties, you are in for a TREAT!

Welcome to CONFESSION CORNER! The Confession Corner will be a bi-monthly installment where you guys get to anonymously call ME, and have a chance to be featured on the show!

For our very first Confession Corner we’re talking all about SUGAR DADDIES. Yep, the good, the bad, and the…wrinkly? Today you will hear me react and dissect your stories from all of your sugar daddy escapades. From getting your butthole licked in a public coffee shop, to the masochist who wanted her to dress up in a Nacho Libre wrestling suit and beat the sh*t out of him - it is about to get WILD and I’m so excited to hear from you guys. Make sure to pay attention to my stories on @VioletBenson and @AlmostAdulting for YOUR next chance to be featured on the Confession Corner!

Hoe Life 2 Wife Life w/ Hannah Berner Jul 14, 2022

Show notes

They say you can’t turn a hoe into a housewife, but we’d like to think otherwise.

At some point in our life, whether we are at the height of our career or living our best single lives, we all want to find that one person we can spend the rest of our life with, right? That one true love we all grew up hoping to find one day. I mean, at the very least, who doesn’t want to be with the best partner and have the best s*x at the drop of a dime?

Besties, today we are joined by Hannah Berner! Hannah is the host of two extremely successful podcasts Giggly Squad and Berning In Hell, a standup comedian, reality TV star, and now here with us on Almost Adulting! Today Violet and Hannah waste no time getting into things beginning with Violet calling out Hannah for not inviting her to her wedding! Hannah then goes into detail about her transition from hoe life to wife life, what it’s like dating (then marrying) an older guy, falling in love with someone you least expect to fall in love with, and why you should look for a partner that takes ugly photos of you. The two superstars also talk about the harsh realities of their professions and why checking in with yourself mentally is SO important. This episode is jam packed with hilarious stories and advice so sit back and listen up!

Define “Relationship” w/ See The Thing Is Podcast Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

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!

Relationship to RelationSH*T ft. Jessica Baum Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

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. We’re unpacking A LOT today - but whatever it is you do, do NOT text your ex after this. So hit play and listen up!

I'm Single, You're a Father w/ Alex Papiccio Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

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! Tune in now, besties!

Show notes

Let's talk about sex baby! Sex PARTIES, that is…

Sex parties, are they a common thing now? Or are they still considered ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ events that are exclusive to a VERY select community? We think we know what these parties are all about from the outside looking in, but you’re about to find out what really goes on behind the scenes. In today's episode Violet gets the inside scoop on Hollywood’s most elite members and what they do to fulfill some of their darkest fantasies. We’re still not sure if money can buy you happiness, but we have confirmed that it definitely can buy you your own 50 Shades of Grey experience.

Today’s guest Damon Lawner is the founder of world renown sex club, Snctm, a private members club hosting erotic black-tie Masquerades, dinners, and classes specializing in fetish & erotic arts. Violet and Damon dive deep into the private world of Snctm events, while also discussing celibacy, masturbation, the art of the orgasm, and how to reach your sexual nirvana. Violet makes sure to get ALL the juicy info you need to know so tune in now!
