If you’ve ever wondered why you settle, sabotage, or shut down.. this episode tells you the truth.

Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta is joined by Jay Shetty - New York Times best-selling author, host of On Purpose, former monk, and one of the most influential voices in self-improvement, emotional healing, and modern spirituality.

In this powerful conversation, Jay and Violetta dive into:

the limits we place on ourselves (and each other)
fear as an unformed boundary
why timelines sabotage our growth
the real meaning of love (beyond romance)
how to build connection through vulnerability
