Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta is joined by Jay Shetty - New York Times best-selling author, host of On Purpose, former monk, and one of the most influential voices in self-improvement, emotional healing, and modern spirituality.

In this powerful conversation, Jay and Violetta dive into:

the limits we place on ourselves (and each other)
fear as an unformed boundary
why timelines sabotage our growth
the real meaning of love (beyond romance)
