0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. I'm your host, Mary Jilkovsky. I'm an author,
0:07.7	speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love
0:14.6	yourself. Hey, self-lovers, before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make sure you know about my two books on self-love.
0:25.8	If you're struggling with body image or self-acceptance, then I highly recommend you check out my first book, The Gift of Self-Love.
0:33.0	It's a comprehensive workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to love who you are.
0:38.9	You can get it wherever books are sold by searching for The Gift of Self-Love or go to my website
0:44.0	Mary's Cup of Tea.com slash book. Thousands of you have read and dove in into The Gift of Self-Love.
0:51.1	The reviews are just incredible. So many five-star reviews and I'm so forever
0:55.9	grateful that it has touched your lives in such a big way. After publishing the gift of self-love
1:01.6	and reading all your positive feedback, I noticed that many of you asked me for a tool that
1:06.7	would help you build a daily practice of self-love into your life, which is why I decided to
1:13.0	create a new self-love journal, 100 days of self-love. It's got 100 journaling prompts that cover
1:19.7	all areas of life, body, identity, purpose, relationships, emotions, and more. So you can think of
1:26.8	this as a metaphorical multivitamin for self-love.
1:30.4	You can get the journal wherever books are sold as well by searching for 100 days of self-love
1:35.6	or go to mary's cup of tea.com slash journal. These two books, the gift of self-love, the workbook,
1:42.8	and 100 days of self-love, the journal,
1:45.6	are complementary to one another, so the content does not overlap. It just depends on what you
1:50.7	want or need at this point in your life. It's my mission to share all the self-love tools with you,
1:56.2	so I hope that both my books and this podcast can help you do just that.
2:11.2	Self-lovers, oh my goodness.
2:15.2	I'm so thrilled for you to listen to this conversation with Blair Imani.
