Florence Given: The Cake & Crumbs Relationship Theory

from Alonement

Florence Given is an illustrator, Instagram sensation and now a debut author, with the release of her bestselling book, Women Don’t Owe You Pretty. It’s not hard to understand why she was voted Cosmopolitan’s Influencer of the Year ‘19. Famous for slogans such as ‘Dump Him’ and ‘Don’t Raise Him He’s Not Your Son’, Florence is an intelligent and refreshingly original feminist voice.  While speaking to Florence, I couldn’t help thinking – how is someone so wise at just 21? But then, why should there be a minimum age to learning these things? In this podcast episode, Florence doles out the sage advice many women wish they had as a teenager. She also introduced me to the cake and crumbs theory – to work on fulfilling your own needs – or 'bake your own cake' so you don't feel hungry enough to accept 'crumbs' of attention (like Instagram 'likes') from other people. Game-changer. Florence Given’s debut non-fiction title is available now from Amazon, Waterstones and all good booksellers. Twitter: @ChezSpecterInstagram: @alonementofficial @florencegiven Hosted on Acast.
