Ask The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast a Question. Text the TLT Pod today.In this week’s episode, we’re diving into what some may call a fascinating cultural moment: the lyric, "I can buy myself flowers." This phrase, is, of course, from Miley Cyrus's 2023 hit song Flowers. We’ll discuss its underlying message, and how this quote still sparks deeper conversations about independence, self-worth, and the evolving nature of relationships in 2025. We’ll also explore why more people choose tobe single, and what psychology can tell us about the rise of self-love in an increasingly individualistic world.Social Media LinksThe Lemon Tree Coaching PodcastInstagram TwitterTeacher Resources (really, for anyone)The Lemon Tree by AKSBox BreathingOther Important Resources:The Flourishing Co.
