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.
