Summary

You might have friends that you think you’re close to, but are you really?

0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. I'm your host, Mary Jolkovsky. I'm an author, speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that'll inspire you to love yourself.
0:17.5	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.
0:25.1	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.
0:32.3	It's a comprehensive workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to love who you are. You can get
0:38.6	it wherever books are sold by searching for The Gift of Self-Love or go to my website, maryscup
0:44.1	of tea.com slash book. Thousands of you have read and dove in into The Gift of Self-Love. The reviews
0:50.9	are just incredible. So many five-star reviews and I'm so forever grateful that it has touched your lives in such a big way.
0:59.1	After publishing the gift of self-love and reading all your positive feedback, I noticed that many of you asked me for a tool that would help you build a daily practice of self-love into your life, which is why I decided to create a new
1:13.2	self-love journal, 100 days of self-love. It's got 100 journaling prompts that cover all areas of
1:20.0	life, body, identity, purpose, relationships, emotions, and more. So you can think of this as a
1:26.8	metaphorical multivitamin for self-love.
1:29.7	You can get the journal wherever books are sold as well by searching for 100 days of self-love
1:34.9	or go to mary's cup of tea.com slash journal. These two books, the gift of self-love, the workbook,
1:42.1	and 100 days of self-love, the journal, are complementary
1:45.7	to one another, so the content does not overlap. It just depends on what you want or need
1:51.1	at this point in your life. It's my mission to share all the self-love tools with you,
1:55.5	so I hope that both my books and this podcast can help you do just that.
2:09.9	Let's talk about how to build stronger friendships.
2:20.2	If you've been listening to every episode recently, you might have noticed that I have been very inclined to talking about relationships.
2:26.8	And of course, this is precipitated by my wedding, recently getting married. But anybody who's ever had a wedding will probably tell you that when you make a big life decision, such as getting married, it also brings to light your
2:37.7	friendships and your family and the other critical relationships in your life. There are some people
2:44.6	that will surprise you by really showing up for you, really supporting you through this transition.
