I talk with David about how to detect and avoid self-deception. We hate being lied to by others; it worse when we do it to ourselves.

Always tell yourself the brutal truth and watch your world blossom.

Hey Besties! Ever dealt with a guy who thinks he's a dating maestro, juggling messages with multiple girls at once? Ugh, the worst! Can't we have one guy who's actually committed to making a girl feel special?

In today's episode, Violetta gets real with Brooke Schofield, co-host of Cancelled with Tana Mongeau. They spill the tea on Matt Rife's questionable dating tactics (seriously, bro?), but the conversation takes a deep turn as Brooke opens up about her challenging childhood with two drug-addicted parents. Brooke shares her journey dealing with borderline personality disorder, revealing the power of self-healing and finding stability through medication. It's a rollercoaster of real talk and genuine connection—tune in, Besties!

With just two weeks into the new year, as we cross the middle of the month,  we start to shape our resolution for the new year, making plans, creating strategies, and more. While these are great in molding a better you & me for this year, there is a question I must ask 'Are you molding your relationship with #Jesus #Christ for #2024?

It's a fair question, only you can answer that for yourself, honestly. My next question is, 'What’s going on with your heart? Not physically, but spiritually? This week's message is Believe! What do you believe? Do you believe there is a God? Do you believe #heaven is real? Do you believe there is no #hell?  Do you believe you will be a millionaire or billionaire tomorrow? Do you believe he is for you or she is for you? Questions with some or maybe no answer! However the truth is in the bible, so let's search for it in Luke 1: 1-38. The truth is. we all have some gut feelings and some beliefs, but, we all need confirmation,  something to happen, for us to confirm our thoughts and then we believe.

Zechariah did not believe when the angel told him that his wife was going to have a baby! Here is a man who served in the church, and followed all the protocols or practices within the #church, I call it a form of worship, but he did not believe in God! You may ask how can this be? Sometimes people who serve God can be in doubt, and that leads to a lack of faith in God.

Zachariah was righteous, blameless, and walked with #God but did not believe. Many of us are like that, so let's change this and see this example of what happened centuries ago, so we can follow God for real. This week, join me for part one of this powerful message where the angel delivered the same message twice, one believed and the second family, or #Zachariah did not believe and he was made dumb for nine months.

This is a message to share with friends and family, so we can all prove to the #Creator that we believe in his plan, we believe his son who died for us, we believe he rose again, and we believe he is coming back! Join me now and let us #Believe!

Hey Besties! Ready to level up and manifest some serious abundance this year? Violetta's got you covered as she dives into the magical world of manifestation, joined by the incredible Sarah Perl, aka @hothighpriestess on TikTok.

In this episode, they unravel the secrets of successful manifestation, exploring different methods and powerful mantras that can pave the way to your riches. Sarah, the poetic genius behind "From Within," shares her wisdom on turning your life around by reshaping your self-view and envisioning the future you truly desire. To sprinkle some extra magic, they wrap things up with a tarot reading for 2024, using three enchanting crystals. Grab your manifesting notebook, soak in those good vibes, and make 2024 your year of financial independence!

Hey Besties! Guess what? Violetta just hit the big 3-5, and she's feeling fabulous! In today's episode, she's spilling all the tea about her unconventional birthday celebration. No Confession Corner or Benson Knows Best this time – it's all about Violetta and her epic birthday escapade.

Picture this: a day at the Huntington Library with the parents, a series of unexpected hiccups, and a plot twist that turns everything around. Violetta shares the highs, the lows, and the heartwarming surprise from her ride-or-die friends. And because she's the queen of adulting, she decided to take her birthday off work. But did it turn into a serene day of self-reflection? Nope! The aftermath involved a serious ice cream marathon and some well-deserved beauty sleep. Living her best life? Absolutely!
