I'm Struggling

Violet Benson
About this episode

How can one navigate the difficult and emotional process of dealing with grief and family problems? Coping with grief, conflicts with family members, or other familial issues can be emotionally draining and can take a toll on an individual's mental health. 

Today, Violetta sits down to share a very personal situation that she and her family are currently going through. No light-hearted moments, no well-thought advice. Just raw and vulnerable moments with her during this difficult and challenging time.
