Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do with a dream is shut the fuck up about it!!!Today I’m sharing with you a little about the project I’ve been working on secretly for the last year, and why sometimes the most powerful way to get what you want is to keep it close to your chest and not tell anyone about it…This is for anyone who hasn’t been able to create projects or get anything off the ground, or for those who’ve always felt crazy because they like to be so secretive with their ideas.

How I live a magical life every single day.
Today I’m sharing my exact protocol for inviting more synchronicity and MAGIC into your life. Because a magical life is something you CREATE! Not something you wait for. From phone-free bedrooms, bedtime yap sessions with God, acting on strange little hunches and treating day like the beginning of a cosmic game of hide-and-seek.Magic is rarely delivered while you’re staring at your phone. It arrives through strangers, spontaneous detours, unexpected conversations and the courage to flirt with life!I’m also sharing my “Proof of Magic” list, and why recording every tiny coincidence helps me…

Girl. Everything is literally ALWAYS working out for you.
What if the thing going wrong is ACTUALLY repositioning you for something far more magical?In this episode, I’m sharing my “orchestra of life” philosophy (floss-ophy?) which is the idea that we are all individual instruments inside a much bigger, delicious unfolding - being guided by the great conductor in the sky (universe, god, sky daddy, whatever you like to call it).I’m talking about why delays, rejection and disappointment might ACTUALLY be cues directing us somewhere exciting that we cannot yet see.I share how my morning rituals help me tune my own instrument towards gratitude, magic…

Girl, stop settling for crumbs
This is for the woman who knows that she’s settling for less than she deserves - in love, friendship, or business - but is clinging to ‘less’ because she fears something better doesn’t exist.The universe cannot fill your hand if you won't let go. This is a sign to finally accept everything you want, by releasing everything that you’ve been lying to yourself is ‘acceptable’. You were not meant for an acceptable life. You were meant for a juicy, pulsing, delicious one. It’s time to LET. GO. _________Please leave us a REVIEW and rate our show if you loved this episode! 🌟Follow me on Instagram…

Stop optimising your life, start being silly again!
Did you forget that life is supposed to be for fun?! Are you optimising your life within a poor inch of its life?Me too. Today I’m talking about how I’ve been so focused on work, work, work, optimising, strategising, planning - that I started to take life a little too seriously again. This is for any of you who have remembered and forgotten, over and over again, that life gets to be magical, and that there are small ways you can turn towards the sun in your life when it all feels fucking flat. Our job in life is to never miss the details, because that is where the beauty is. It’s in small…

The trap of being too independent.
This is for the hyper-independent girlies who need to fucking relax.Today I talk about ‘operation delegation’ - my mission to delegate projects, responsibilities and tasks in my life - so that I can stop bearing the cross of being the Woman Who Struggled Doing It All Herself. Learning how to receive help, ask for it and delegate things in your life is INSANELY FUCKING HARD because so much of our identity as women is tied up in how much of ourselves we can sacrifice. How do we learn to soften when we’re hyper independent? How do we learn that there is truly power in surrender?_________Please…

Why women shame each other for being happy.
Someone left a comment on a video of me dancing saying “...and what does this do for feminism?”. Nothing. It does absolutely nothing. And that is ALLOWED.In this episode, we're talking about guilt-tripping women for expressing joy, why suffering has become the "correct" way to exist, and why it's other women, not men, we fear the most for it._________Please leave us a REVIEW and rate our show if you loved this episode! 🌟Follow me on Instagram @florencegiven Follow the podcast @theflorencegivenshowBuy my NEW BOOK here: https://linktr.ee/womenlivingdeliciouslyWatch + join the comment section…

hating yourself is boring.
In a totally unplanned episode, I discuss the differences I’ve noticed between British girls and American girls in how he approach our insecurities - and my theories about why British women are more self deprecating.Hint: It’s not that we hate ourselves more, it’s that we’re not given cultural permission to want MORE - and that we’re encouraged socially to be humble, small and hate ourselves as a form of proving our virtue.

The loneliness of outgrowing your friends.
Someone asked me in the comments of an episode on YouTube ‘can you make an episode about the loneliness of outgrowing the people you love?’.It is brutal and it truly hurts like hell. You’ve achieved everything you want. You’ve become the woman you always dreamed of. And now, you’re being punished for it. ….WHAT?!!! Yeah. It’s crazy. And no one talks about it. Because you feel like you’re getting out your tiny violin, complaining about success and how ‘hard it is’. But we need to have this conversation.You’re not alone. You’ll get through this.

How to live a magical life and get everything you want.

How to set goals so audacious that it turns you on
Possibly one of my most audacious pep talks YET.If you want to achieve a BIG goal and discover that you have super human abilities, collapse the time you have given yourself to achieve it. It forces you to drop every excuse that you make for yourself. Today is a BIG energy pep talk on why you should be fucking crazy enough to believe that you can achieve the impossible. I share my story of how I wrote my first book in 5 months - and why I believe that things only take as long as you believe they need to. Work expands to fill the time it is given. So give it LESS. Set an audacious goal. You…

Your body thinks your creative dreams are dangerous.
Today we’re talking about EXPANSION and how our minds subconsciously create drama in our lives to actually avoid getting the thing we want. We’re talking about why you keep self-sabotaging just when things get good, and how to take small leaps so that you feel safe enough to hold more. This is for the woman who can’t seem to get things moving with her business or art, despite investing enormous amounts of time and energy into it. Plus, I get into what happened when I moved to LA and my old self literally possessed me.Yes. We're going there. Song mentioned:…

The things we pretend not to know.
In today’s episode we are embodying RADICAL self honesty, and we’re confronting the things we pretend we don’t know about our lives, ourselves and the people around us. We’re looking at the ugly truth. This is an episode for the person that’s ready to confront the thing you’re avoiding. That the relationship you’re in isn’t right for you. That you should probably quit your job. That you should follow through on your goals. That you aren’t living in alignment. That the way you’re living your life isn’t sustainable. Asking this question is the path back to yourself. What thing are you…

what if you allowed yourself to be mediocre?
Today I’m giving you permission to show up as a fucking amateur, sloppily throw yourself into action and be mediocre. It’s sort of the opposite of a motivational speech, except that this is actually going to get you to take that FIRST step. Because mediocrity is the foundation upon which greatness gets built.This is an episode for anyone that has struggled with perfectionism and hoards their ideas instead of taking tangible action towards the life they want.

LOVER GIRL, YOU NEED BOUNDARIES!
This is not just another pep talk about boundaries. Today we’re getting into the nitty gritty of what that looks like and sharing some of my own personal experiences with struggling to set them. Because when you’re a lover girl with a BIG fat fucking open heart and you’re used to letting people walk all over you - boundaries don’t feel kind. It feels cruel. It feels like you’re being MEAN. It feels like you’re being SELFISH. And you need to set them anyway.

EMBARRASSMENT IS THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR EXCELLENCE.
You can't be GREAT without being SHIT first. The messy ‘middle’ work between where you want to be and where you are is unavoidable. Failure and embarrassment is the tax you pay for creative success. So you might as well go for it and get the shit parts out of the way!In today’s episode I’m sharing a rant of gratitude towards my past, audacious and courageous self. Because I would be nowhere without her. I recorded this in the middle of writing an essay on my laptop, sat on my pink sofa, deep in a juicy flow state - and I realised how many experiences of failing HAD to come before that…
