Daddy Issues with Violet Benson

Read it and weep, besties, because Patti is not here to sugarcoat a single thing. Stop wasting your time on a boy who only wants you around to boost his ego, fill his schedule, and keep you on standby while he figures himself out. Boys will breadcrumb you, mind game you, and keep you confused. Men make it clear. And we are done accepting less.
Today, Patti Stanger returns to the show to talk about how to stop being a placeholder, raise your standards, and actually recognize the difference between a man and a boy. Patti and Violet get into why women give too much too soon, how bad relationship patterns start in childhood, why men know much earlier than they admit, and how to tell when you’re being strung along. They also break down love bombing, gaslighting, red flags, ultimatums, dating with self-respect, and why waiting around is the fastest way to waste your own life.
If you’ve ever questioned someone’s intentions, stayed too long, or confused chemistry with commitment, this one is your wake-up call.

Let’s talk about… the secret lives of Mormon wives, Summer House scandal Amanda and Cierra, and me shamelessly campaigning to get on Traitors.

Let's also talk about... how I stepped out for one night and found myself in a buffet of hot men, from not feeling chosen to choosing myself again, running into an LA yearner, hiring a matchmaker… and why I’m officially BACK in my dating era.

Have you ever let one reckless thought turn into a full night of regret?
Violet kicks off a new Series of Unfortunate Events with two unbelievably embarrassing stories involving a one-night stand, a love confession to a best friend gone wrong, and the kind of confidence that only shows up right before everything goes to hell. You know those nights that should’ve ended one decision earlier? Yeah. It’s that. Because once a line gets crossed, there’s no cute way to walk it back.

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 Berner Phone, 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!
