Vanderpump Rules star and entrepreneur Katie Maloney shows us why the path not taken is often the path we’re meant to take. On this week’s episode Katie details her life as a college dropout, her days before reality TV and VPR, and how she decided that she could only find her best life if she found the courage to end her marriage. We discuss whether she would ever get married again, how she’s found peace as a single thirty-something in L.A., and how she’s no longer willing to be dragged into anyone’s drama, even if it means being alone.

For anyone who has felt like their life has, metaphorically, ended, Katie’s story of overcoming a traumatic brain injury and her divorce shows us that there’s no limit, in her words, to the amount of software updates you can have in life.

On this week’s episode, find out why women should listen to what men actually say, why Lindsey believes women are less likely to fall in love at first sight than men, and how the most heartbreaking relationships are sometimes the shortest ones.

We’re kicking things off with Violet Benson, host of the podcast Almost Adulting and the brain behind the viral Instagram account @daddyissues_. On this episode, we dive into how Violet managed to break the intergenerational trauma of her upbringing, why she thinks you keep attracting all the wrong men (aka Chads), and whether she really believes that you can meet the right person at the wrong time.

Violet dives into her childhood as the daughter of Russian immigrants, the first boy that ever broke her heart, and the active practice of letting go of who you were so you can become who you’re meant to be.
