Summary
After a month-and-a-half break and a big network move, your Russian big sister Violet Benson is back – and she’s starting 2026 the only way she knows how: with tough love.
Violet breaks down the four shifts that changed her life – and can change yours too.
• setting real boundaries (and holding the door open when someone wants to leave)
• radical self-awareness (aka stop lying to yourself)
• knowing exactly who you are
• and changing your perspective so you stop feeling like the victim in your own story
She then breaks down why we romanticize the wrong people, the truth about “twin flames,” how you’ve been quietly self-sabotaging your love life, forgiving without apologies, and learning that sometimes the love story you’re chasing isn’t about another person – it’s about yourself.
Today is the day you take your power back and start gaining confidence again after losing yourself in love. This episode is your reset.
Don’t forget to leave a 5-star review when you’re done listening.
