Women Living Deliciously wants us to fall in love with our lives. It seeks to help women uncover the sense of awe and wonder that has been buried by the layers of shame, perfectionism and self-objectification that is piled on them by the patriarchy.

For too long, we have internalised the belief that our bodies are things to be looked at – instead of lived in. That it’s embarrassing to fully express ourselves. That we cannot trust the parts of ourselves that are so full of desire.

This book unpacks the many barriers women face when trying to access joy, so that they can discover the delicious life that’s theirs for the taking.

International bestselling author Florence Given’s book seeks to give you the courage and permission to inch closer to the wildly expansive life that you deserve – not in the future, not when you’re perfect, not when you’re prettier – but right now.
