    BIG SISTER I NEVER HAD!
    I literally have Violeta’s pic as my ex’s contact pic, as a reminder not to contact him!! She really does always know best and she shares openly about the hilarious times when she didn’t know best and learned from it. The stories have me rollinggggg. The coolest girl I’ve never met! If you’re a girl, just shut up and listen to her. She gets us!

    How to Detach episodes was so much what I needed.
    Thank you so for your words and wisdom. I truly appreciate it. I love these empowering words. It’s helping me to slowly detach. I need to be strong and stronger to walk away and date freely. Thank you so much.

    Waste of Time
    she comes off arrogant, self righteous and out of touch so it’s a hard listen. Some of her episodes I enjoyed, but overall it’s not the podcast for me or an influencer I feel good supporting
  • Tashi Awesome
    Good content, BUT abrupt advertisements break the continuity of the conversation or monologue.
    😕

    Thanks for being the big sister I need
    I have been listening to this podcast, and many others, for quite some time and have never before felt compelled to write any reviews. I want to thank you so much for the recent episode “How to Detach in 24 Hours.” I have been going through a breakup with a man who spent 6 months talking to me all day every day and seeing me 3 times a week to completely discarding me/going no contact after only a 5 minute conversation as to why the relationship was ending. I was really traumatized and have spent the last month and a half spiraling until I listened to this episode! I swear I have listened to it on repeat over the last 3 days. It is the only thing that snapped me out of my constant rumination and made me start to take my power back. I don’t even want “I don’t even know his name” back in my life anymore. Thank you for the work you do and the art you put out into this world. You are truly an amazing human being who brings light and hope to the lives of so many people. Almost Adulting will always be one of my favorite podcasts. Thanks bestie, XOXO.

    Love this podcast for so many reasons!
    I’ve been listening for 3 years now since it was “Too Tired to be crazy.” I love the mental health advice and dating advice. I love the way violet expresses herself and the self confidence she gives women. Her voice is soothing and she’s funny.
  • NikkiProv
    Love this podcast!
    The big sister I never had 👏🏽 Vi is in your face real and raw but spot on and makes you take a step back and look at things in perspective!
  • FarmhousePehr
    The only podcast I subscribed to
    This is the best self-help podcast served with brutal honestly and a side of hilarious humor. I never subscribe to podcasts however Violet changed that and made a premium subscriber out of me. She tells it like it is when it comes to dating, personal relationships, friendships, and how to maximize all of the above in your own personal life. This podcast is a must-have and Violet is the big sis you never knew you needed!
  • Machycoors
    My fav podcast to listen when I’m alone
    Definitely an inside to the real world on life and dating and mental health , love to listen to this podcast and Violeta is so cute and funny
  • Zertiof
    It’s entertaining but the advice is garbage
    Her perspective is mind boggling. There is some good advice, but let me give you a hint as to why you’re still single: unrealistic expectations. She’s attractive and successful, yet she’s in her mid thirties and still can’t find a man? There’s only one reason for that: she’s a walking red flag. Pls do not emulate her. I just heard her say that she rejected a guy for having roommates. That’s the stupidest reason I’ve ever heard. No man that is as hot as she wants, and as successful as she wants is good to date her, they are going to choose somebody younger and hotter than her. Sorry sis! You need some reality. Pick a good man that you like and settle down with them. There’s no reason why you should be single, other than you and your personality. Then she tries to use psychology and mind games to even it out. Never going to work.

    Thank you Violet. I noticed the guy I’m seeing start pulling away and you helped me get through and realize it’s ok to take out time for me to heal and get through it!!!
  • SCSU5577
    Good but was a better mix before
    Love this pod. Have been listening for a while! Need some more lighter episodes although I love the metal health aspect. Just looking for some more fun and light hearted ones for my drive to work.

    BIG SIS
    Love V’s consistent dating advice and review on various coaching novels! My fav eps are when she brings on authors and really breaks down what the book means and how we got here! Keep it up sis! :)

  • Bri_piggy
    Truly is your big sister
    Needed this podcast at the right time, binge listened and signed up for the exclusive podcast. Worth the monthly $5 as it has helped me in ways I never expected from dating, life and even writing. Thank you for inspiring me to chase after my dreams.

    Violet Benson's podcast is an absolute gem! She brings a unique blend of wisdom, wit, and warmth to every episode. Her advice is not just insightful but also practical, making it easy to apply to everyday life. I love how she seamlessly weaves in affirmations, advice, and discussions about femininity, creating a space that feels empowering and inclusive. I love listening to her podcast on long drives, she’s def the big sister you need to hear. If there’s any new podcast you listen to this week, let it be this one!
  • Kel Marie P
    My bestie
    When I feel lonely, need a friend for support (or the tea 🍵) I feel like I always have one by tuning in to this podcast. Violetta is down to earth, relatable and funny, the friend and big sis I always wish I had!! She has made me feel seen, confident and secure in myself as a woman. Thank you bestie 🤍

    5 Stars
    On top of being a fun podcast to listen to, Almost Adulting is great for mental health and learning how to interact with different people in the world! Violet is real with her audience and very open, making her easier to relate to! She is very punctual with her episodes and is always keeping the topics fresh and interesting. Love her solo episodes!
  • Daniiiielle!
    Love her
    I love violet. She is hilarious, and relatable. She knows how to make serious topics funny and still get her point across. I’ve been listening to her for 2.5 years. She’s my favorite 🤍
  • JbGirl007007
    Fun & I learned a lot!
    I highly recommend! Great guests and I learn so much!
  • Gomezflowers1992
    Obsessed with her
    New listener and honestly it’s the only podcast I listen to. 🥰 She makes me cry and laugh and I learn so much from her. You can tell she puts a lot of work into her episodes and it makes sense why she’s so huge! She deserves it all and more!!!!!!!!
  • pootscoot87
    Hard to digest
    I used to think her quirky but lately she has been hard to listen too. It’s almost painful ful to listen to her interview anyone and I can’t support her pro Israel agenda that she was spreading on Instagram.
  • Conejito1011
    Constantly repeats herself
    She’s told her life story several times to the point it’s actually annoying. You think she’d stop at some point but nope, still does it up until the newer episodes. Unsubscribed.

    lost an idol
    violet was one of my favorite creators since daddy issues was just a lil meme page … i really thought of her as an older sister and looked to her for advice for years… until recently when she started posting israeli propaganda that was proven false by multiple US media / news outlets … it is so irresponsible for someone with such a large platform to be spreading misinformation and not correcting herself and her audience, once the facts, or lack there of, have been confirmed ..her comments to palestinians have been rude and unhinged - if she really has a cousin that was taken hostage she should be calling for a ceasefire so her cousin doesn’t get killed by the IDF… i doubt she will see this but i hope she gets back to the love in her heart that i used to feel when listening to her … now all i hear is hate, privilege and an unwillingness to learn and grow.

    16 reasons you don’t have love
    loved this episode and how you spoke it was like a poem made me cry helped would love to hear more on self love I think so many people don’t understand that Thankyou ! ~a
  • Kassieyoung11
    My go-to podcast for advice
    Love this podcast. Been listening since the too tired days. Always looking to Violet for advice on difficult situations. She’s not lying when she says she’s your big sister you didn’t know you needed. My confidence has gone through the roof since I started listening to her. My emotional intelligence has grown immensely. She hypes you up about loving yourself first. She tells you things you need to hear in a bestie/big sis type of way. She’s also hilarious. Thank you for what you do Violet! It’s much appreciated. If you’re wondering if you should listen to this podcast, DO IT. You won’t regret it
  • absabrinacd
    Love
    Loved the last episode “Do This If He Takes You for Granted” really insightful advice. It opened my eyes and I appreciate all the advice that Violetta Benson gives. Thank you for these solo episodes!
  • Gabydlc1227
    Seriously AMAZING
    This podcast is soooo incredible! I’ve listened to Violeta on and off for a few years and I really feel like she and I have grown together (even though I’ve never met her!). I still remember an episode where she spoke about what it was like when she felt like she was at her worst and she cried while she spoke. It resonated so much with me because I was going through my own worst time and I was crying too. And now to see Violeta’s growth as a podcaster and how confident she is just reminds me of my own growth too. Her episodes are so full of honest information and advice and she always has her listeners’ best interest at heart. You can tell she pours her heart into each and every episode. Please keep doing what you’re doing Violeta!
  • NicoleOXX
    Love the Pod!
    Been listening to your podcasts for a couple weeks now and I really enjoy them and have found them helpful in a lot of different aspects of my life. Especially love the ones about manifesting. Enjoyed the most recent on “the dream man”.. definitely going to follow this going forward… however I’m curious if you think there’s a way to come back from being “the nice girl” with someone your already in love with and being that nice girl 🙈
  • sznofjustice
    Not a fan of how you introduced your paid content
    I’ve been a listener for a while and really love how you keep things so real and aren’t arrogant but I don’t appreciate you having a guest on and then introducing your paid subscription the way you did. It seems shady. It seems like you used your guest a little bit as well, overall it doesn’t sit well with me and when I might have before been totally open to subscribing. Not any more…. Like that’s just weird
  • we get it 12372574
    Unbearable
    The whole time she’s just declaring how she is this and that type of person. People who are a certain way, confident, honest, mature etc don’t need to constantly declare it and put other people down. Overcompensating.
  • Biababushk
    Best podcast
    Love her. Love the podcast. Truly the best!
  • babymia73

  • Barbie1vee
    Life changing!!!!
    She’s amazing and really opens up in each episode! She puts so much work into her podcast and cares deeply for her listeners. Her solo episodes are everything and teach me so much about myself. She’s the big sister we all need!!! I love her 🤍

    The Science of Anger
    I love this episode because I resonate with Radha Devlukia and Violet so much! She hits on everything I’ve felt! It’s not the perception of what people have placed on you and how you should act! I’m learning to connect with myself and speak with integrity. Thank you for this ❤️❤️

    4 Steps to Self Love
    Daaaaang. I needed to hear this. This episode is truly remarkable, I’m in my th it’s listen because I really want to hear every minute bc her points hit so good you need a minute to feel it and process it. This podcast is worth your time, no matter where you land on the Self Love scale, this episode will tune you up in the best way.

    The most relatable easy to listen to podcast!
    I love Violetta! She always keeps it real, and never strays away from speaking her heart. I’ve been listening to this podcast for over three years now, and I just love her. 10/10 recommend!! P.S Violetta, I am so obsessed with the reality TV recaps. Please please please keep them going!!! I love you!!!

    Chef's Kiss!!
    The episode "4 steps to love yourself" is perfect and exactly what I needed in my life right now. Violet is always great and spot on with her advice but this episode was especially good.
  • 💗💗C💗💗
    So awkward
    I find Violet so rude and unfunny. I can’t believe someone speaks to guests like this. It makes for super uncomfortable listening and she’s a terrible interviewer.
  • Ksalerno333
    AMAZING podcast
    I love how real and authentic Violet is on her podcast. Truly one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to.
