Tiny Adults, it's that time of the month—our second-week Dear Violet episode! But first, a little story time. I just got back from a wild Vegas weekend at UFC, where I had an unexpected run-in with Andrew Tate. Yep, you heard that right. I’ll spill all the details before diving into today’s episode, where we tackle everything from confidence killers to trauma, self-love, and getting what you want.

Here’s what we’re covering:

  • The Power of Labels – How to label someone to get exactly what you want.
  • Grief & Healing – Everyone processes grief differently. Here’s how to navigate it in a way that works for you.
  • Trauma & Your Nervous System – The difference between immobilization and movement during trauma—and how it determines your healing speed.
  • Breaking Down Trauma Processing – The three key steps: sensing, naming, and identifying.
  • When You Feel Ugly & Unlovable – My advice to someone struggling with self-worth.
  • The 4 Confidence Killers – What’s secretly holding you back from the life you want.
  • Self-Affirmations I Swear By – Plus, a sneak peek into my love-yourself speech.
  • The Real Key to Self-Love – It’s not what you think.
  • Does He Like Me? – How to go from the friend zone to something more.
  • 5 Easy Comebacks – What to say when someone’s being rude (because we love a good mic drop).
