About this listen

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.

    I Was Sentenced to 2 Years in Federal Prison
    May 7 2026

    A Daddy Issues listener DM’d Violet with the ultimate opener: she had just gotten out of federal prison. This week, Violet sits down with Carol, a former accountant indicted on wire fraud and bank fraud charges after COVID relief money went very wrong. We’re getting into the FBI showing up, facing 20 years, prison camp, halfway houses, ankle monitors, restitution, and what it really looks like to rebuild after serving your time. Carol made the mistake, paid the price, and now she’s telling the story.

    Confession Corner with Sofia Elizabeth
    Apr 30 2026

    TikTok creator Sofia Elizabeth joins Violet for a no-filter conversation about cheating, jealous men, bad exes, hookup prep, and the kind of dating stories that should have been enough to make you leave the first time. They get into bad excuses, obvious red flags, and the moments that tell you everything once you stop trying to explain him away.
