Podcasts about Adulting

WHERE IS THE C*M!?! No seriously you guys that's the question we're asking today and also apparently…. men are BEGGING for this? News to me.On today's episode, I sit down with L.R. Fox, founder of NEXT Life Sciences - the man creating birth control for men among other science breakthroughs for both men and women. That's right - GET EXCITED because it's finally here. Ladies... we're almost free!!We break down Plan A—the non-hormonal male “IUD,” a hydrogel designed to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years and be reversed whenever he's ready for a baby. Boom, bam—it's baby making time. We also get into the PausePill, an on-demand birth control pill for men. Guys in relationships could take it daily, while the single lads could pop one just two hours before sex for 24 hours of protection. INSANE, RIGHT?! But perhaps not as insane as one unexpected side effect.... it may help men last longer.Ladies, forget flowers. One day, the hottest anniversary gift might be your man looking you in the eyes and saying, “Babe, you can get off birth control. I've got this.”SEND THIS EPISODE TO YOUR MAN BECAUSE HIS TIME IS COMING... AND IT'S TIME TO STEP IT UP.Learn more about Plan A, the Pause Pill and everything NEXT Life Sciences is developing:Plan A for MenNEXT Life SciencesFollow L.R.Fox and PlanAForMen on Instagram.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are helicopter parents to blame for the rise of adult coddling and government dependency?  Kennedy looks at how how free-range parenting builds self-reliant adults and why failing to let kids take risks leads to suspended adolescence.  Plus, a reality check on why it's time to stop complaining, parent yourself, and take responsibility for your own life.

Guest Speaker: Pastor Kelly Goins (Lead Pastor of Watts Bar Church, Decatur, TN) I. Worship & Opening Focus Access to the Throne: Reflecting on her recent visit to the White House and navigating Secret Service checkpoints, Pastor Rhonda reminded the congregation that entering God's presence requires no security clearance or documentation—only a hungry heart coming before the King of Kings. Altar Ministry Focus: Prayer teams ministered to individuals seeking physical healing, relief from crippling anxiety, and divine direction, declaring the authority of Jesus over every diagnosis and fear. II. Harvest Announcements & Outreach Queen for a Day (August 29): Registration capped at 300 participants after filling within four days. Sponsorship drive for outreach purses continues in the lobby, coordinated alongside Susan Vernon. Midweek Wednesday Series: We Are Harvest Beyond the Walls continues at 7:00 PM featuring Pastor Tyrone Johnson presenting on DEAC Ministries and its outreach to Cleveland's homeless community. Men's Topgolf Event: Scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, in Chattanooga. Men interested in attending were directed to connect with Pastor Todd. Sermon Outline: "It's Time to Grow Up" Preacher: Pastor Kelly Goins I. The Post-Salvation Discipleship Gap Beyond the Altar: Praying a prayer to receive salvation is not the pinnacle of the Christian walk—it is the starting line. A Christianity that promises heaven while permitting believers to live unchanged on Earth is foreign to the New Testament. Identity and Activity: Quoting evangelist Shane Pruitt, true gospel transformation changes both identity (who you are in Christ) and activity (what you do daily). II. Clarifying Maturity Rules Don't Mistake Stupidity for Immaturity: Behaviors understandable in a toddler (e.g., eating dirt) become reckless or illegal when carried out by an adult. Certain spiritual behaviors permissible for a brand-new convert become unacceptable for long-term believers. Don't Mistake Age for Spiritual Maturity: Physical age or years spent attending church services do not equate to spiritual depth. New believers pursuing Christ passionately often demonstrate greater spiritual maturity than lifelong churchgoers. Posture vs. Promise: Unanswered prayers are frequently not a promise problem from God, but a posture problem from believers who refuse to step into adult responsibility. III. Heirs vs. Slaves (Galatians 4:1-7) The Delayed Inheritance: An immature child legally owns their father's entire estate, yet functionally lives no differently than a servant until reaching the age set by the father. God's Patience vs. God's Blessing: God will give what He promised because you are His child, but He cannot entrust it to you as long as you insist on remaining a child. Many believers mistake living under God's long-suffering patience for living under His active blessing. Principles vs. Presence: Living merely by moral principles differs from learning to live daily in God's intimate presence and hearing His voice. IV. Adulting 101 in the Faith Own Your Choices: Mature believers stop blaming government systems, past relationships, or upbringing, taking direct responsibility for their actions. Own Your Relationships: Adults guard their circle of influence, recognizing that close companions shape their spiritual future. Own Your Spiritual Growth (Hebrews 5:12-14): Mature Christians stop relying on pastors or podcasts to hand-feed them like infants on milk. They open the Word for themselves, consume solid food, and train their discernment to distinguish good from evil. Scripture Index Galatians 4:1-7 > "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all... God sent forth his Son... to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." 1 Corinthians 13:11 > "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."   Hebrews 5:12-14 > "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat."   Galatians 3:28 (Referenced) – There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Numbers 6:24-26 (Benediction) > "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

In this Young Adulting Today episode, Josiah and Micah Kennealy hit the ground at Emmanuel Young Adults to ask real young adults real questions about faith, adulting, money, and community. Kenny, Griffin, and Jesse share what's actually hardest about adulting in their 20s—managing responsibilities, relying on God instead of money, and remembering to lean on godly community instead of isolating in struggles. You'll hear powerful stories about trusting God with finances, breaking common money misconceptions, and choosing an open-handed life instead of letting money define you. The conversation dives into freedom in Christ, building healthy Christian community, and why worship and authentic relationships matter so much in this season. If you're a Christian young adult navigating adulting, dating, money, and calling, this episode will encourage you to make wise decisions now that your future self will thank you for, build godly friendships, and keep your eyes on Jesus—even in trials. www.youngadults.today Follow @emmanuelyoungadultsmn on instagram.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!!! Ginny bears is in the office (should this be a new Friday ritual?!). We're kicking things off with a car debate (low-key our bicker of the week every week LOL): do we need a "non-car seat" car?! Alex is dreaming of a 4-door Jeep Wrangler for just the parents, Harrison is pitching a golf cart (Jules's face said everything), and somehow by the end of the convo we are still a one-car family until further notice. Then Harrison drops TWO bombs from his NFL schedule snooping: the 2027 Super Bowl is on Valentine's Day?! (You're welcome for the 6 months notice — Valentine's Day is now Saturday, Super Bowl Sunday!) AND… he signed up for a marathon that same day?! (Commitment level: 50% lol.) Then we get into the main topic of the week: decision fatigue. Did you know the average person makes 1,000+ decisions a day, and parents blow through the majority of those before 9 AM?! We get into the choice-free hacks we swear by (Alex's identical lunches, Jules's 10 identical tank tops, Harrison's default phone call person… we all have our systems). Plus some fun stuff: DoorDash is building its OWN delivery drones, WHAT I'M READING: The Calamity Club (ok I guess “listening to”…), HBO Max is launching shorts (RIP our attention spans), why actors change their names (Reese Witherspoon is LAURA JEAN?!), and the Adam Sandler deep dive: is he the nicest guy in Hollywood?! (The Katie Holmes theory got us..) Then even more “meat & bones” as we call it: “adult" vs. "adult+" (pool permits and fence heights have officially promoted us), is it OK to have completely different interests than your partner (a 21-year marriage take we loved), the power of being a "low maintenance friend" (Alex's text to her best friend this week is the blueprint!!), and a screen-free way for kids to talk to their grandparents that we're obsessed with. Hope everyone has a great weekend :-) LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:03:11 Do we need a “non-car seat” car?! 00:10:49 The 2027 Super Bowl is on VALENTINE'S DAY?!  00:16:26 Harrison signed up for a MARATHON?!  00:20:07 DoorDash is making its own delivery DRONES?! 00:26:52 WHAT I'M READING: The Calamity Club 00:28:58 DECISION FATIGUE: How we try to better manage all the decisions we need to make as parents  00:37:09 HBO Max is launching… SHORTS?!

Some men think their issue with their marriage is a libido disparity, but the reality is that it is much deeper. Women who are scared of "adulting" and shy away from an adult role tend to also not want much sex. The major issue in these marriages is that the man takes over everything or almost everything in the home and tells himself that this would be ok if there was more sex, but there isn't and won't be until the actual issue is discussed: the parent/child dynamic.Join our men's coaching group! email info@bestlifebehavioralhealth.com to sign up and learn more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bestlifebehavioralhealth.com/mens-coaching-group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My newest venture, including ALL BRAND NEW POSTS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/drpsychmom/posts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To get over 225 more episodes, most recently "Don't Stop Your Kids From Dating"... subscribe here! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/drpsychmomshow/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For my secret Facebook group, the "best money I've ever spent" according to numerous members: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/drpsychmom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For coaching from DPM, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drpsychmom.com/coaching/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For therapy or coaching, contact us at info@bestlifebehavioralhealth.com or visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bestlifebehavioralhealth.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Moving sounds exciting... until you remember you actually have to move. Between surprise utility setup fees, security deposits, Wi-Fi appointments that never seem to happen on time, and somehow ending up with a dozen boxes labeled "miscellaneous," moving can quickly become one of life's most stressful experiences. So how do you make it a little easier and a lot less expensive? This week, Matt and Lea are joined by realtor Dag Larson for the ultimate moving guide. They cover the hidden costs most people forget to budget for, whether hiring movers is really worth it, what should never go on the moving truck, and why your first-night box might be the most important box you pack. Plus, learn how to avoid common moving mistakes, set up utilities without headaches, make your new place feel like home, and discover the simple home and neighborhood safety checks everyone should do during their first week. Whether you're moving into your first apartment, upgrading to a new home, or relocating across the country, this episode is packed with practical tips to help your next move go more smoothly and maybe even save you a little money (and your sanity) along the way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're a teen seeking more independence and you want to start handling things on your own, or if you're planning on moving into your own place and feeling a little unsure of how to prepare, this episode is for you. Katie Kimball, founder of Raising Healthy Families, breaks down the three life skills that will change everything about how you show up in the world once you leave home, and how to start proving to yourself (and your parents) that you're ready. Today's guest is Katie Kimball, a former teacher, two time TEDx speaker, mom of four, and the creator of the Teens Cook Real Food course and the Life Skills Now virtual summer camp. She also blogs at Kitchen Stewardship. Her mission is to connect families around healthy food, teach every kid to cook, and instill the life skills that make young adults actually thrive when they leave home. In this episode you'll hear the three core life skills every teen needs before leaving home -- which skill unlocks the others, why one third of teens are struggling with anxiety right now and how life skills work as an anti-anxiety tool. You'll also get the exact script to use with your parents when you want more independence. Plus, Katie's simple formula for making killer introductions so you're the favorite person in any room. Here's what you'll discover: Why communication (without your thumbs) is the number one skill most teens are missing The simple question-asking habit that makes you great at conversation instantly The "art of awesome introductions" formula that makes you the person everyone wants to be around Why cooking is the gateway life skill and what "cooking" actually means (hint: not the microwave) The bucket of proof concept and how it builds real confidence you can actually feel Why failure in the kitchen is one of the best gifts your brain will ever get The UCLA research on teens with a sense of purpose (and how cooking gives you one on demand) Why "bank account balance budgeting" is destroying your money and what to do instead How compound interest works and why understanding it as a teen changes everything The Venn diagram approach to earning independence with your parents The exact line to use when you and your parents are not on the same page about how much freedom you should have Why the friends you keep matter (make friends with people who care about their lives) Parents: This is a really useful episode to listen to alongside your teen. Katie unpacks why the "failure to launch" pattern is so common right now, what actually builds resilience and confidence in a teen (spoiler: not being told they're strong, but proving it to themselves through real skills), and how to think about the gradual separation of the teen years as a healthy process instead of a stressful one. Her three-part framework (communication, cooking, finances) gives you and your teen something concrete to work on together this summer or this school year.

Welcome back to The Treehouse Show, the comedy podcast where weird news, pop culture, and life's dumbest questions collide.This episode starts with an important debate: How do you know if you've finally grown up... or if you're just having a mid-life crisis? Trey opens up about life after alcoholism, how sobriety has completely changed his outlook, and why he's suddenly developing an obsession with houseplants. Is this emotional maturity, or is he just one step away from eating dinner at Luby's before sunset?We also celebrate today's celebrity birthdays, which somehow turns into a confession about iconic TV shows we've never watched—including Lost. Are we missing out, or was everyone else just confused for six seasons?Then we dive into one of Reddit's most unintentionally hilarious relationship posts. A woman says her husband cheated, but the very first sentence of her story may explain exactly why. Sometimes the biggest clue is hiding in plain sight.Finally, we wrap things up with one of the strangest medical stories we've seen in a while—a man ends up with a burning penis, and surprisingly, STDs had absolutely nothing to do with it.If you enjoy funny news, Reddit drama, pop culture, celebrity discussions, and two lifelong friends making fun of everything, you've found your people.

Let's be honest: embarking on a career journey right now can feel like trying to solve a maze in the dark. Between shifting global events and the unwritten rules of corporate etiquette, many young adults are entering the workforce feeling completely ill-equipped.In this episode, we sit down with author Christianne Meneses Jacobs to unpack the vital blueprint laid out in her book, "Professional Life Skills for Young Adults."Christianne shares how to build bulletproof resilience, why we need to view rejection as a necessary pitstop on the road to success, and—yes—why you absolutely cannot bring your mom or dad to a job interview if you want to be taken seriously.With plenty of wit and wisdom, we walk through the essential building blocks of professional autonomy that schools simply don't teach.The 7 Keys We Unlock in This Episode:The Art of the Pivot: Embracing rejection as fuel rather than a roadblock.Decoding Workplace Etiquette: Overcoming post-pandemic communication gaps and mastering professional social skills.The Anatomy of a Compelling Resume: How to stand out in a sea of digital applicants.Dressing for the Part: The psychology of personal appearance and why first impressions stick.The Autonomy Awakening: Breaking free from parental codependency to build genuine workplace confidence.Whether you're a recent graduate trying to land your first "real" job, or a manager wondering how to decode the newest generation of talent, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to help you adeptly navigate the professional landscape. Tune in and level up!

Have you ever looked at your life and realized that while everything is "okay" on paper, you feel like you're just playing a role?   In this week's Report from the Creative Closet, I'm diving into the Performance Trap. We talk about why the modern world is obsessed with optimization and metrics—and how that obsession is actually stripping us of our humanity. From the "proceduralization" of our communities to the internalized pressure to be "endlessly capable," we look at how to reclaim our spontaneity.   It's an invitation to stop treating your life like a performance review and start returning to the creative capacity you were born with.   I'm Nancy Norbeck, and I'm your Messy Muse Mentor. I help people feel alive again through curiosity and play.   In this episode, we discuss: Dehumanizing Systems: Why HOAs and automated phone lines are designed to block human connection. The Self-Monitoring Trap: Why "metricking" your sleep and hobbies creates more exhaustion, not less. Trusting Your Instincts: How to stop letting external algorithms (and internal critics) drive your decisions. The Power of Play: Why we are starving for spaces where we don't have to be "good enough" to belong. Ready to send your inner critic to summer camp for an hour? We get together once a month for a relaxed, co-working-style session where you can work on whatever you want—without any pressure to do it "right." We send the shoulds and inner critics off to summer camp where they're kept busy rather than getting in our way. Join the Creativity Circle.

En este episodio, Liliana Olivares y Jimena Gómez cuentan cómo esa idea terminó convirtiéndose en una empresa. Hablan de los retos de emprender, los errores y todo lo que pasó para construir un proyecto que hoy ha acompañado a más de 75,000 personas a mejorar su relación con el dinero.

International travel is magical... until you're standing in the airport realizing your passport expires next month, your phone doesn't work, and you have no idea whether you should pay in dollars or the local currency. This week on Grown Up Stuff, Matt and Lea are joined by full-time traveler Jordan Tually to answer all the questions you don't think to ask until it's way too late. They cover passports and visas, travel insurance that's actually worth buying, eSIMs, currency exchange, packing smarter (yes, you can probably leave half your clothes at home), avoiding common travel mistakes, the tricks that can help you beat jet lag, and most importantly, how not to get banned from traveling in the Schengen Area. Whether you're planning your first trip abroad or just hoping this is the vacation where nothing goes sideways, consider this your ultimate guide to traveling a little smarter and a lot less stressed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Show Notes: The Canter Is a Four-Letter WordThis episode is brought to you by pure chaos, cruise dreams, and the emotional journey back into the canter.Natalie and Heather kick things off with the kind of live, slightly unhinged energy only horse people can sustain before coffee fully kicks in. They share big news about their upcoming “Hijinx on the High Seas” cruise, a five-night adventure packed with theme nights, happy hours, games, prizes, and all the shenanigans a horse-loving adult could want away from the barn.Then the conversation turns to the real beast of the episode: cantering. Why does it suddenly feel scarier in adulthood than it ever did before? Natalie and Heather unpack the mental blocks, balance issues, fitness struggles, horse behavior, and the deeply relatable experience of feeling like your body and your brain are both negotiating terms with gravity. They also remind us that sometimes the horse is doing exactly what they should be doing, and we're the ones falling apart at the seams.In this episode:Cruise announcement: “Hijinx on the High Seas”Why cantering feels harder as an adult amateurBalance, confidence, and rebuilding riding fitnessAdulting wins: AC survival, dinner mishaps, and bargain burgersIf you've ever thought, “I used to love this gait, why am I suddenly terrified of it?” this one's for you.Upcoming Events: July 15, 2027 Impressions of Saratoga with Natalie.

According to the World Economic Forum, the employment landscape for autistic adults in the United States remains a significant challenge. Research suggests that only 22% to 32% of autistic adults are engaged in paid employment, while up to 85% experience unemployment or complete non-participation in the workforce. Even among those who are employed, many remain underutilized, with nearly half working in positions below their qualifications and capabilities. In this important episode of Let's Have This Conversation, I sit down with April Ratchford—autistic occupational therapist, global podcaster, advocate, and host of the award-winning Adulting with Autism podcast, which has amassed more than 2.7 million lifetime downloads worldwide. Drawing from both her lived experience as an autistic adult and her professional expertise as an occupational therapist, April provides valuable insight into the realities autistic individuals face when navigating employment, independence, mental health, identity, and social inclusion. What began as advocacy for her son has evolved into a global mission to empower autistic adults and challenge the systems that often create barriers to success. Together, we explore: • Why employment rates remain disproportionately low for autistic adults • The impact of workplace underemployment and overlooked talent • How organizations can build truly inclusive hiring and retention practices • The role of self-advocacy, identity, and belonging in professional success • Practical strategies for increasing workforce and community participation • What society can do to move beyond awareness toward meaningful inclusion This conversation offers an honest, trauma-informed, and solutions-focused look at how employers, communities, and policymakers can unlock the immense potential of autistic individuals while creating environments where they can thrive. Join us for a powerful discussion about inclusion, opportunity, and building a future where autistic adults are recognized for their strengths, contributions, and value.   For more information: https://adultingwithautism.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Hannah Berner is back and somehow we go from broken hands to broken men in record time. Hannah and Violet get into people-pleasing, dating addicts, dating sober men, falling in love with potential, and the embarrassing things we do when we're convinced a situationship is going somewhere. Plus: Hannah's skiing disaster, why crushes are sometimes better in your head, and several reasons neither of them should be trusted when they have a crush.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I took that personally.Let's also talk about... the fact I had a literal pdf file teacher in high school, how I accidentally ended up inside Robert Pattinson's house, and the Irish man who underestimated my ability to ruin his day.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Everyone thinks men fall in love because of chemistry. According to science? Not even close.Violet breaks down what actually makes a man go from interested to invested, why so many women accidentally sabotage the early stages of dating, and the biggest mistake people make when they confuse attraction with commitment. From the science of attachment to the psychology of pursuit, Violet explains how men really bond, what makes them stay, and why forcing a relationship almost always backfires.If you've ever found yourself wondering, "What are we?" this is for you.Thank you for supporting our sponsors:Nutrafol: Receive $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you visit Nutrafol.com and enter promo code DADDYISSUES.Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at SHOPIFY.COM/daddyissuesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Violet is back with another Series of Unfortunate Events, and this time a blind date turns into one of the strangest nights of her life. There's a driver, a bodyguard, a hopeless romantic billionaire, and an unforgettable conversation about AI that somehow makes modern dating feel even more depressing.Love may be blind.But apparently it also comes with a security detail, a free trip to Europe, and the possibility of accidentally becoming someone's sixth wife.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
