Ghosted Horror Stories - Confession Corner

It can be a hard pill to swallow, but you can’t also become the person you want to be if you’re stuck in the past. There’s no fairytale or storybook ending if you don’t fix what’s within, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone!Today we welcome sex and relationships therapist, Todd Baratz! Todd has devoted his entire life to wellness as he actively works against all formalities, traditions and diagnosis. Together Violet and Todd discuss the importance of intimacy negotiation in a relationship, identifying self sabotaging behaviors, and how to fill emotional voids. The two also deep dive into the myth of being “relationship ready”. The truth is, there’s no such thing. Relational love leads to self love. Besties, sometimes the real breakup you need is with your old patterns and behaviors. Contact Todd and find his online courses here: https://www.toddsbaratz.com/Advertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fmWhat to Listen For:00:00 Introduction01:02 What it means to start therapy at 10 years old05:03 “I literally just said your partner has fantasies…”08:07 Couple issues tend to come from personal trauma10:17 Our relationships are emotional14:02 Everybody deals with relationships at different pace15:35 Self-sabotaging18:45 Why are we drawn to emotionally unavailable people22:23 How can you tell if someone is emotionally unavailable?23:25 When should you walk away?25:23 Lies that we hear about relationships27:11 It’s normal to sit with your feelings30:03 How do you deal with uncertainty?32:29 The pressure to succeed with relationships35:39 Where’s the line between feeling and thinking?37:56 Stop blaming people about your feelings46:41 Feeling the victim all the time39:38 Why does language matter so much? 43:47 Self discovery happens, it’s not a rush46:39 Being the victim constantly50:01 Can you still be in a relationship while still working on yourself52:27 Good habits to make yourself feel betterConnect with Todd on:InstagramFacebookTikTokWebsiteYour Diagnonsense PodcastGet more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeAdvertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fmSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Winning a Breakup - Playbook

Read it and weep besties. It’s the truth. Stop wasting your time over a boy who just wants you around to boost his ego, to do his bidding, and to make himself more attractive to other women. Boys are just now learning how to live without their mom doing their laundry for them, let alone know a thing about commitment yet. Boys will keep you waiting and play mind games with you, and the LAST thing we’re doing is putting up with it any longer.Today, we welcome Patti Stanger back to Almost Adulting. As a third generation matchmaker, Patti founded the Millionaire's Club in January of 2000 after serving five years as the Director of Marketing/Special Events for Great Expectations, the oldest and largest dating service in the U.S. Given her expertise in matchmaking and Violet’s experience in dating men, the duo talks about the male logic while dating, why successful women have higher standards and don’t consider marriage in their early twenties and why we should always keep a three-man rotation. Violet and Patti also discuss the effects of poor parenting, the real reason why men take advantage of the woman emotionally, and the many complicated aspects of dating while technology is evolving.

Besties, In order for us to have healthy relationships with others, we have to look inward and mend the relationship with ourselves. And remember, never let a person show you twice that they don’t want you. If they want you in their life, they’ll treat you with kindness and love. If they want you to be part of their journey, they will want to spend their time with you and will always appreciate spending time with you.

Confessions of A Sugar Baby

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.

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!THIS WEEK'S PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Lumi Labs & Microdose:Microdose is available nationwide, to learn more about microdosing THC just do a quick search online or go to Microdose.com and use code: ADULTING to get free shipping & 30% off your first order.Dave: If you’re in a pinch and need some extra help, don’t freak out!

Define “Relationship” w/ See The Thing Is Podcast

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.

Vault Archives - The Hardest Part About Dating w/ Amy & Jack

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!

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.

This just in... Violetta Elaia Benson isn't perfect!We all get tired. We all make mistakes. And we all mess up. It’s normal because it is in our nature to not get things right the first try. It’s okay to not be okay when you don’t feel okay. Hello, Besties! Today, I’m sharing an acupuncture session turned therapy session where I was told holding in my emotion is stressing my body out! And speaking of stress, the interview with Bella Thorne came out last week. Before the interview, I had one of the worst days of my life, it made me breakdown afterwards. And I was being hard on myself, which I shouldn’t be doing. So, if you want to know what this is all about and how I was trying to stay alive the whole time, hit that play button! THIS WEEK'S PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:ApostropheSave $15-off your first visit with an Apostrophe provider at http://Apostrophe.com/ADULTING when you use our code: ADULTING - to get your dermatologist-crafted treatment plan for $5.ManscapedGet 20% off and free shipping at https://www.Manscaped.com/ and use the code: ADULTINGWhat to Listen For:00:00 Introduction03:12 The acupuncture session07:51 What happened two weeks ago?10:55 Before the interview with Bella Thorne18:21 And then the camera stopped recording21:46 Programming your brain when to have a breakdown28:59 Take your mental health walks33:27 Imagine our life as a little play38:40 Setting boundaries and prioritizing yourselfGet more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Surprise, I'm Not Perfect

“Our society makes victims feel like villains.”Final Episode of May’s Mental Health MonthPeople deal with childhood trauma differently just as the horrible experience is different for every person, for every victim. The only consolation that victims have is a support system that is always there for them, that is present with them when their overwhelming feelings arise and when painful memories are triggered. It is in our support group that we can learn to accept what happened, live through it, and move on with life. But what if we don’t have that kind of support group?Today’s guest is actress, model, singer, and songwriter Bella Thorne. Warning: We are discussing sensitive topics and our way of dealing with these issues may not be what people might expect. Nonetheless, we get to listen to how a victim and a survivor of sexual abuse grew up to be a forward-focused person, always working hard to make a name for herself, and is now open about her experiences with dating and relationship struggles.  THIS WEEK'S PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Diet Smoke Go to https://www.dietsmoke.com/ and use promo code: ADULTING for 20% off your entire order. What to Listen For:00:00 Introduction01:17 Something weird most people don’t know about you?04:53 How did you get into acting so young?10:17 When you’re feeling a little hateful13:05 “She must have an easy life…”17:16 Losing your father at a young age22:37 Coping with a losing a loved one27:43 We don’t get enough support from our system35:54 The long-term effects of sexual abuse41:41 Talking about your trauma 48:40 Crazy things I did with my sister54:37 Non-negotiable when it comes to dating57:23 What's the worst day you've ever been on?   01:08:25 How do you break up with someone?01:10:32 What are you currently working on?Connect with Bella on:InstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterTikTokThe Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental DisarrayGet more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
