Summary

This week, Jameela is joined by author & illustrator Florence Given (Women Living Deliciously) to talk finding joy in your life, being a playful activist, and opening your own doors of self-expression. Florence shares ways to let go of other people’s perceptions of you, and how to intentionally take up (too much) space by showing up courageously and being unapologetically yourself. This is a joyful conversation on the art of being childlike, not childish, and focuses on romancing yourself while finding awe in the everyday. You can find Florence on IG @florencegiven and TT @florencegiven and her new book 'Women Living Deliciously' is out now.

0:00.0	Oh, hello and welcome to another episode of Aiway with Jamila Jamil, a podcast against shame.
0:05.3	Wow, what a fucking week. What a fucking week. How has it even been a week? I feel like I haven't slept
0:09.9	in six days and I've just been doomscrolling 24 hours of every single weekday that there has been,
0:17.9	and I know that you've probably been doing the same, because it's harrowing. How can you look away when you realise that not only have so many men voted against
0:24.9	the health, safety, rights and well-being of women, but also so many women have. They've been voting
0:31.8	against their own healthcare, safety, and rights. How do you not slam your head against every single fucking
0:40.5	wall and table wondering where we all went wrong? Listen, I considered using today's episode as just
0:49.0	a very long rant about the election, but then I thought that's all you guys have probably
0:52.4	fucking been thinking about, hearing about and losing sleepover all this time not only in the last week but also just all year
0:58.5	maybe we need a break and maybe we need something uplifting so if you do want to see the
1:02.9	the darker things that I think can feel you can find it on my substack that's the essay writing
1:07.8	platform called substack where I write a very candid essays where I can say things
1:12.4	that I'm not allowed to say other places because of algorithms and rules and social media
1:16.9	wanting you to make seven second dancing videos with your tits out selling a product and so
1:22.1	I've chosen to use substack as somewhere that I can say things of more substance without a word limit.
1:29.6	Anyway, so you can find me there if you want my more cynical thoughts.
1:36.3	But today's episode is an uplifting one because fucking hell do we need it.
1:39.8	What a year, what a four years, what a life, what a history women have had.
1:43.9	And today's episode is all about truly empowering women, but not through the fight, but through
1:49.1	joy. Finding the rebellion in daring to actually live your life to its fullest capacity,
1:57.0	to actually learn how to love your life, even if you can't fully love yourself,
