Florence and her guests will take big topics – sex, relationships, social media, feminism, and body image – and examine them through a feminist lens. Guests include actor Jameela Jamil, author Layla Saad, dominatrix Miss Erica Storm and comedian Sofie Hagen. Together, they will delve into conversations about sexual empowerment, queer and sexual identity, social media and activism, and more.

Throughout the series, Florence will unpack these provocative subjects with passion, humor, and sensitivity and will connect, challenge, and empower listeners each week.

Florence Given said, “I’ve started this podcast because I want to have conversations that have the nuance and depth you can’t get from an Instagram caption. It’s always been so important for me to bring people together; I love human beings and I love learning. I want to connect us, I want to empower us, I want to educate us and figure this shit out myself along the way."
