My favorite podcast

Violeta’s show is my favorite pod cast to listen to. I stream it in my house while working from home and traveling on the plane. Pure entertainment, comedy, serious girl issues and more. You talk about the real stuff and the stuff no one wants to talk about in relationships, dating, and more. Keep doing what you’re going girl you are talented and deserve success. Cheers Sofia 😘
