Almost Adulting with Violet Benson

Hey, Besties! Let's talk about the magic of vulnerability when you're diving into the world of dating. I know, it can be a little scary to let your guard down and show your true emotions, but trust me, it's worth it! Opening up and being vulnerable allows for a deeper connection and a chance for someone to see the real you. It's about sharing your fears, dreams, and even those adorable quirks that make you, well, you. Today, in another Benson Knows Best episode, Violetta it's important to keep an eye out for those sneaky red flags that might signal potential trouble ahead as you venture back into the dating scene, how to give yourself time to heal and reflect if you find yourself in a relationship that didn't end horribly but just didn't work, and how by embracing vulnerability you create a safe space for both you and your potential partner to truly connect on a deeper level. Remember, the end of one chapter opens the door to new and exciting possibilities.

So, girl, don't settle for being someone's afterthought or hidden secret. Today, Violetta is here to tell you that instead of wasting time telling guys about how badly you were treated by your ex, it's time to focus on yourself and your own value.

Loving your own body plays a crucial role in relationships and intimacy, especially when it comes to sex. When we struggle to embrace our bodies, it can create self-consciousness and insecurity in the bedroom. These feelings can hinder our ability to fully let go and enjoy intimate moments with our partners. However, when we cultivate self-love and acceptance, it empowers us to be more confident and comfortable in our own skin. This newfound confidence not only enhances our own pleasure but also fosters a deeper connection and trust with our partners, leading to more fulfilling and intimate experiences together.Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes a favorite returning guest, Emily Morse. Emily Morse is a well-known sex and relationship expert, host of the popular podcast "Sex with Emily," and author of the upcoming book "Smart Sex." With her expertise in psychology and human sexuality, she's all about helping people create stronger connections and more fulfilling experiences in their love lives. Emily's podcast is a trusted resource for honest advice, and now her book is set to provide even more wisdom and insights into the world of smart and satisfying sex.Together with Emily, Violetta talks about loving and being comfortable with your body, communicating your desires to your partner, oral sex, the use of lubes, the importance of foreplay, and how to stay present and focused during sex. WANT MORE EPISODES?

Why is it crucial to invest time and effort in individuals who recognize your true worth? The answer lies in the profound impact that such people can have on your personal growth and development.

Welcome to our closing episode for the mental health month! We are often drawn to narcissists due to a combination of complex psychological factors. Their charismatic charm, confidence, and seemingly larger-than-life presence can initially captivate us. Unfortunately, this attraction often leads to a painful cycle of manipulation, emotional abuse, and neglect, as narcissists prioritize their own needs above all else.Today, Violetta starts the episode by defining what is a narcissist and the characteristics to look out for. She proceeds with enumerating the different mind games narcissistic people often do to trick us into believing they genuinely care and other character traits to help us spot if we are dealing with one. And finally, she ends it with the most common reasons why many find narcissistic people attractive.  WANT MORE EPISODES?
