Hey there, Besties! Ready to catch up on some fun and thoughtful moments from my life? Well, here we go! So, lately, I've been all about embracing spontaneity. I mean, life's too short to not do the occasional crazy thing, right? From wild adventures to trying out new hairstyles, it's been a whirlwind of excitement. But you know what they say, even your hair holds memories. It's like a little time capsule on top of your head! Now, speaking of memories, I've stumbled upon some pretty awesome quotes lately that got me thinking about life in a whole new way. But it's not all about the philosophical stuff. I also surprised my parents with a fantastic vacation trip, and boy, that was something! On the family front, my dad's the ultimate pessimist while my mom, well, she's the eternal optimist. It's like living in a sitcom sometimes! So, if you're wondering why I'm all about staying open and vulnerable, despite life's ups and downs, stick around. There's a whole lot of candid conversation coming your way.   If you want to be featured on the next episode, send an email to press@daddyissuesla.com or call Violetta at 424-278-4268 and leave an anonymous voicemail!

Hey there, Besties! Today, we are going to talk about the hype around Love Is Blind Season 5. It’s very unhinged so prepare yourself because we have a lot of catching up to do.  Violetta shares her insights on the Season 5's casts and how they come off after binge-watching the episodes. From the insecurities of Jared, who's projecting his size anxieties, to Chris, the golden retriever of the group who oddly sees himself as a playboy, it's a rollercoaster ride of personalities and self-perception. Amidst it all, Lydia's unnervingly straight-faced comfort moment and her declaration that, "You are so much like me," add a sprinkle of intrigue to this entertaining exploration of youthful relationships. Buckle up for a podcast that's as quirky as it is relatable, as we navigate the fascinating world of 20-something love, one eccentric character at a time.
