The F Word...Flirting

In this episode we tackle the concept of flirting, but this isn’t a how-to. We really want to unpack how the underlying actions of flirting are often expressions of connection, extraversion, and comfortability with others. Using this framework "flirting" as a mode of authentic connection, we will dive into our experiences from childhood to adulthood and how depending on our environments and contexts, “flirting” meant something entirely different. By using flirting as our lens, we’ll talk through how to be more comfortable being ourselves in spaces where our open-ness will be valued; ultimately, uncoupling flirting from its negative connotations.
