Almost Adulting with Violet Benson Podcast

Youre not single because youre brokenmaybe youre just asking the wrong questions.

In this deeply personal and hilariously honest solo episode, I share 30 questions you need to ask yourself if youre serious about finding real lovenot the situationship, not the trauma-bond, not the 2-week high followed by ghosting. We're talking love that lasts.

I also open up for the first time about being deafhow its made me feel small, different, and deeply afraid of being pitied and how I moved past it.

This is the episode where we stop waiting to be "healed enough" for loveand finally figure out what we actually want and deserve.

Tune in if:

• You keep attracting the same wrong person in a different font
• Youre overthinking love to death
• Youre ready to be loved without fixing every flaw first

Listen til the end for the story that might just change how you see yourselfand loveforever.

Today I’m joined by viral creator MJ Gray to break down everything from the Wizard Liz drama, delusional men who want “traditional women” but can’t even lead… to why the 50/50 dating fantasy is officially dead. We’re talking cheating, bill-paying boyfriends, men who secretly resent powerful women, and why you should think twice who you have a baby with.

If you’ve ever wondered why the guy who chases you ends up trying to humble you, why some friends feel like emotional leeches, or why men always “circle back” after destroying everything—this episode is your new bible. 

And be sure to tune in to the last 10 min since I drop a final update on Wizard Liz that might change the way you see her forever.
