How Daddy Issues Was Born
Before anything else, let me put this out here, THIS episode talks about BULLYING in the office space and losing yourself in the process because the BULLIES made you believe that you’re supposed to take it all in.Last week, we talked about how to succeed in life and get THE dream job. Today, we will focus on WHY it’s okay to ditch your dream job when it’s making you miserable and unhappy. I started Daddy Issues because I was bullied and even though this alter ego is a completely different person, she is happy. She conquered her world and she thrived in the social circles she wanted to be a part of. So yes, Bestie! You can do it even if others think you can’t. Believe in what YOU can do!Follow me on:InstagramYouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I Never Said That!? w/ Remi Bader
Women have been struggling with weight shaming and adapting body positivity because of the misconception that there is only one body type that’s perfect. Truth is, women are built differently and we all need to learn how to appreciate the body we have and wear it with utmost confidence! Today, we welcome Remi Bader. Remi went viral in 2020 for posting realistic trys and hauls that I used to watch, and they were hilarious, where she basically showed the reality of buying clothes online when you don't have the same body type as the models on the website. Since taking over TikToK, Remi has made a name for herself in the fashion world, and even just signed with Victoria's Secret Pink as a brand ambassador and size consultant. What to Listen For:00:52 Everyone knows everything02:07 Getting started on TikTok04:51 A good brand with a variety of sizing08:14 Losing weight and getting a backlash11:14 Built big doesn’t mean you always support body positivity17:38 Dealing with hateful comments18:58 How did the Victoria Secret deal happen?23:21 When did you start loving your body?24:43 Confidence in the bedroom and intimate moments27:20 Parents need to learn when not to say anything30:11 Funny guys are easier to talk with31:08 Future plans and projects32:20 Do people get your sense of humor?

We're ALL Bad At Dating w/Mark Groves
Ever wonder why you're SO bad at dating? you're not alone. We ALL are and on this episode we reveal why.
Joined by human connection specialist, Mark Groves, Violet goes DEEP into the psychology of human behavior and relationships. This week we're going on an in-depth analysis unpacking as to why we do the things we do while in love and while looking for love.
Don’t worry, it’s been scientifically proven that love is basically a drug - so remember that stupid thing you did for your awful ex? It wasn’t your fault…you were under the influence! Even Beyonce's been Drunk In Love.
Mark also elaborates on the various attachment styles we nurture from young ages and how they carry into our adult lives. Try not to get in your feels too much, and you have to PROMISE you won’t text your ex after this. You’re too tired to be crazy anyway!
