About this episode

In this episode, Florence Given discusses the societal pressures women face regarding happiness and the guilt associated with expressing joy.

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 @theflorencegivenshow Buy my NEW BOOK here: https://linktr.ee/womenlivingdeliciously Watch + join the comment section on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCleWTyiVjNlDMyFHsoLlRHQ Created By Florence Given Directed and Creatively Produced by Florence Given Produced by Kate Downey Video Editing by Mika Bryony See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
