    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!!!!!!!!

    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.

    Heartfelt Gratitude!
    Dear Violette, I wanted to reach out and express my heartfelt gratitude for your podcast, "Almost Adulting." Your insightful discussions and practical advice on relationships with men and self-value have been incredibly helpful as I navigate life's challenges. Your wisdom and authenticity make each episode not only informative but also deeply impactful. Thank you for creating such a valuable resource for young individuals like myself. Your podcast has truly made a difference in my life, and I eagerly anticipate each new episode. Keep up the fantastic work! Warm regards, Sabina Cioci IG: @sabinakz

    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

    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!

    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

    Love this podcast!
    The big sister I never had 👏🏽
  • 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.

  • Shahakahajsnslsjshsbs
    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.
  • MissMae7777

  • Biabia 15
    I look forward to her episodes weekly!!
    I love this podcast! I know it takes a lot of time and energy to create content and put it out consistently so I appreciate the two shows a week. Thank you for being creative, but always hitting the mark. The content is powerful, guiding and entertaining. I also appreciate her openness in her content, makes you feel like you can relate as a listener. Will forever be a fan ❤️❤️
  • Isabeljimm
    We’re all gonna die
    Dude, I’m going thru this right now!! I except I’m married with no children and my best friend is single. I’ve always loved our relationship but lately, I’ve started to feel like our priorities are so different and our relationship has been drifting. It’s crazy that I’m listening to this episode the same time I’m feeling this way, even crazier to know I’m not alone 😵‍💫. Loved this episode!!
  • Princess Ryelee
    💯
    Talk about a real one. Unfiltered, straight truth, with a little bit of humor.
  • kwididnddjd
    FEELS INTIMATE ALL THE TIME
    I love her… every episode is 10/10. Not one episode has been unheard. Always feels like I’m on FaceTime with a best friend / Therapist lol
  • RavenRN19
    My favorite podcast
    Violet is like my free therapist outside of my real therapist. I absolutely love her and listen to one of her episodes almost every day. She is incredibly relatable and you can tell how passionate she is about her listeners. I generally prefer her solo episodes more than her guest episodes, especially the self help/growth themed episodes but will pick the occasional guest episode if the title speaks to me. I can always count on Violet for a pick me up, a good laugh if I need it or just some honest, tough love. She never fails to remind me of my worth and that no part of that man child belongs in my mouth! Thank you bestie!
  • jaz manalang
    Love
    Always waiting for the next episode 🫶🏼

    Self love 💓
    I finally started listening to this podcast this month ! These podcasts have helped me so much . I can't wait to deeper the journey to my self love .
  • Lovely567I
    Big Sis
    Violeta, I love the effort you put into the podcast. Yours has become my favorite to be honest. Usually when I hear your self love/mental health episodes it’s just what I’m needing to hear. I will say the reality tv episodes just aren’t it… I could care less about their lives. Otherwise keep doing your thing!
  • kagevelo
    Not a good interviewer
    I came to listen to the Katie Maloney episode and only powered through to listen to her talk, but it was painful. The host kept turning the conversations back to herself, and it was too “question/answer” as opposed to the feeling of a conversation I’m used to from other podcasts. She also made a tactless comment when talking about Katie’s divorce. Listening was not a pleasant experience
  • Dibdabjibby
    Hard to listen to
    I wanted to listen to the Katie Maloney interview but the host is so bad that I couldn’t bear it.
  • Megger Megs
    Kind of painful to listen to, honestly
    I like Katie Maloney so I wanted to hear the episode she was a guest on, but I gave up after about 15 minutes. I’m not familiar with this podcast at all, but in the first 12 minutes the host managed to turn the conversation back to herself instead of the guest after EVERY question. I didn’t finish the episode yet and can’t say for sure that I will. Maybe this was a one off or something personal in my current mood, so I may come back and see if it’s just me. As of now, it’s a no for me if you’re listening for a specific guest.
  • CalPrism
    Really enjoy listening
    I like the variety, sometimes it’s girl talk sometimes it’s sassy and spicy, it keeps me engaged and I look forward to it.
  • Mcinsta
    Perfect timing
    Why heartbreak hurts so much was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you for reinforcing my need to break my core belief that I’m not worthy of more. You really helped my soul today. Thank you for your vulnerability and grace!
  • natalie8309
    Shhh
    She needs to let other people talk. Always acting like an expert and talking over people
  • Claudogg96
    Beautiful voice and writer
    Violetta has a beautiful voice - both to listen to and the way she expresses her emotions and writes her episodes. Her heartbreak episode brought me to tears and touched me in a profound way. Her episodes are consistent and talk about anything from emotions, to love, relationships, breakups, mean girls, dealing with mental health… all of the episodes contain gems of wisdom from someone with a beautiful outlook on the world. Her podcast has been an enhancement to my life. And she’s a Scorpio and I feel like I understand Scorpios better because of her. 10/10 🤍
  • E r i c a F
