Formerly Almost Adulting… but let’s call it what it always was.
Welcome to DADDY ISSUES with Violet Benson.
I brought the original name back. Because I am the OG Daddy Issues - the brand that started 12 years ago and turned a meme page into a movement. The name you've always known me by. So we’re done pretending.
This podcast WILL change you... or at least your standards.
We talk dating disasters, attachment styles, adulting, evolving past your patterns, confidence comebacks, mental health spirals, breakups, friendships, and how to stop chasing, settling, and playing small. Tough love backed by real psychology.
I’m Violet Benson - Comedian, Daddy Issues meme queen, ex-accountant, soon-to-be-author, and your unfiltered Russian big sister. I’ll say what your therapist is thinking but won’t text you at 11PM.
Welcome home.
New episodes every Thursday.
This isn’t Almost Adulting anymore.
It’s Daddy Issues.
Hey there, Besties! Today, we are going to talk about the hype around Love Is Blind Season 5. It’s very unhinged so prepare yourself because we have a lot of catching up to do.
Violetta shares her insights on the Season 5's casts and how they come off after binge-watching the episodes. From the insecurities of Jared, who's projecting his size anxieties, to Chris, the golden retriever of the group who oddly sees himself as a playboy, it's a rollercoaster ride of personalities and self-perception.
Amidst it all, Lydia's unnervingly straight-faced comfort moment and her declaration that, "You are so much like me," add a sprinkle of intrigue to this entertaining exploration of youthful relationships. Buckle up for a podcast that's as quirky as it is relatable, as we navigate the fascinating world of 20-something love, one eccentric character at a time.
