Hey Besties, it’s SCORPIO MONTH! This month we’re getting into everything supernatural, keeping things a little spooky, and of course - we’re starting it off with an episode all about ME! AKA, your favorite Scorpio.This week on Almost Adulting we’re getting vulnerable. Today Violet is sharing some of her heaviest guilt she’s been carrying since her teenage years. She starts off with an Adderall horror story of what went from a quick self care moment, to a 2-hour long masturbation sesh leaving her cramped and wobbly. Next, Violet opens up about the yearly existential crisis surrounding her upcoming birthday, and the insecurities about marriage and children that she’s been brushing off as she turns a year older. Finally, things take a more emotional turn as she recounts the story of finding out about her grandmother's cancer, and unpacks things she wishes she’d done differently - which is something we ALL can relate to. Life goes on, but life is short Besties. Reach out to your loved ones and cherish every moment with them, you never know when it’s your last.

As promised to finish up cult month/October, we are bringing back last week’s anonymous guest and Scientology survivor for a part 2 continuation of last week's episode! and this time, we are focusing on some of the negative aspects of it.Today, on Almost Adulting, we’re continuing where we left off, but diving into the most current conspiracies and rumors surrounding Scientology. Violet and the guest unpack the mystery of Shelly, the current leader of the Church of Scientology, David’s Miscavige’s previously active and visible wife who has suddenly disappeared from the limelight. Naturally this leads to the question: are Scientologists turning a blind eye on what’s really happening inside the organization? And what is their rule about same sex marriage, porn, and s*x outside of marriage that makes anyone almost abandon their freedom once they become part of the group? Our guest will break down all of this, and fill us in on where the people of Scientology truly believe Shelly is and what David’s latest whereabouts are.

It’s finally the last week of October and to cap off the Cult month, we get an exclusive interview with a former member of Scientology who is related to Ron Hubbard, the CREATOR of Scientology.Today, on Almost Adulting, for security and personal reasons, we are keeping the guest’s identity anonymous. The guest talks about how she grew up in the church and lived her childhood in a compound that housed church members, the day to day experiences, and what it was truly like to be part of the group. The discussion continued on with explaining how the ranking system required members to ‘donate’ more to have access to high profile members, co-Scientologists use networking to elevate their position in society, and the scheme to ostracize members considered underperformers because they fail to help the church grow by recruiting more people. The shadiness behind the glamorous front just keeps getting uglier so tune in to watch Part 1 of this 2-part interview.
