Ep. 17: The Luxury of Slow
from Fluent AF · host Priscilla Tovar
We live in a world that worships speed. Fast talk, fast thoughts, fast mornings powered by coffee and panic disguised as productivity. But what if the rush isn't natural? What if we've been taught to speak in anxiety, breathe in urgency, and perform fluency like a race?In this episode, I break down how stimulation, stress, language, and culture overlap. Why women's bodies process caffeine differently, why English feels more caffeinated than other languages, and why wealthy people treat coffee as a ritual instead of a lifeline.This is a slow sip. A breath. A reminder that fluency isn't just how well you speak, but how calmly you live.Take a seat. Take a breath. Take it slow.#slow #podcast #luxury #language #anxiety #coffee #easy#breathe
