The Art of LINGERING
Summary
Florence Given explores "the art of lingering," urging listeners to resist constant rushing and instead intentionally pause, observe, and engage with their surroundings and others.

The episode champions an open-hearted approach, reminding us that bravery lies in expressing joy and giving love freely, while also advocating for discernment and trusting one's intuition for personal safety.Episode description
When did it become embarrassing to be joyful? Why are we all in a rush? Why does it feel so awkward to want connection, and smile at people and be HAPPY?! Why does seeking connection feel like such a terrifyingly vulnerable thing?
In today’s episode I discuss my fascination with LINGERING, and how practising it intentionally in small moments of my life - pausing to notice the flowers, smiling at someone in the queue or simply not using my phone while waiting for my coffee - has opened up portals of magic and awe in my life ✨💫
I believe that the discomfort we feel in moments of social awkwardness and cringe are actually thresholds that our souls need to cross and expand beyond - in order to evolve ⭐️
This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and remember - THE LONGER YOU LINGER, THE DEEPER THE MAGIC 💫💫
