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.

  • Why You Chase and He Pulls Away (The Anxious-Avoidant Trap) with Thais Gibson
    Mar 12 2026

    Is your attachment style running the relationship?

    This week on Daddy Issues, Violet sits down with relationship expert Thais Gibson to break down why you chase, why he pulls away, and how subconscious wiring shapes the way you date.

    Thais Gibson is a best-selling author, counselor, and founder of the Personal Development School, known for her work on attachment styles and subconscious relationship patterns.

    They discuss the four attachment styles, the anxious-avoidant cycle, emotional triggers, and how childhood conditioning shapes the way you give and receive love.

    If the same dating patterns keep repeating in your life, this episode helps you understand why and how to start changing them.

  • Act Like a Prize
    Mar 5 2026

    Daddy Issues starts now.

    This week, Violet Benson officially launches her podcast under the name that built her brand. After 12 years of building the Daddy Issues community, Violet shares the moment that pushed her to reclaim the name, protect what she created, and step fully back into the identity that started it all.

    Then Violet delivers a Russian big sister pep talk. She breaks down why so many women give girlfriend energy to men who can’t even text back, how “potential” keeps you stuck in the wrong relationships, and why confusion in dating usually means one thing: he’s not choosing you.

    She talks confidence, boundaries, self-worth, and the mindset shift that stops you from auditioning for men who were never going to pick you in the first place.

    If you’ve been romanticizing someone who gives you nothing, this episode is your reminder.

    You are the prize.
