Summary

Self-love is relational. We NEED people in our lives and gathering is how we build and nurture community. Today Priya Parker is on the show to teach us about the art of gathering, specifically as it pertains to weddings. You will learn... - why weddings are important for a couple and their families - how Mary & Husband approached their wedding in a conscientious and feminist way - the #1 thing to consider BEFORE planning a wedding (i.e. MUCH-NEEDED advice for engaged couples) - how to set boundaries with friends and family as you’re planning a wedding and resolve any conflict that may come up Remember: Weddings are symbolic, ritualistic, and a rite of passage for everyone involved. If done in an artful way, weddings can be a beautiful way to begin a marriage… tune in to learn how. Priya Parker is a facilitator, strategic advisor, acclaimed author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters, and executive producer and host of the New York Times podcast, Together Apart.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mary's Cup of Tea, the Self-Love Podcast for Women. I'm your host, Mary Jolkovsky,
0:08.8	an author, speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you
0:15.5	to love yourself. Hello, self-lover. Before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make sure you know about my two books on
0:24.9	self-love. If you're struggling with body image or self-acceptance, then I highly recommend you check out my
0:30.3	first book, The Gift of Self-Love. It's a comprehensive workbook to help you build confidence,
0:36.1	recognize your worth, and learn to love who you are.
0:39.3	Thousands of people have this book and the five-star reviews are so amazing. They give me so much
0:44.6	life. So I hope that this is something that can help you too. You can get it wherever books are sold by
0:49.5	searching for the gift of self-love or go to my website, maryscup of tea.com slash book.
0:56.2	After releasing the gift of self-love and reading all your positive feedback, I realized that
1:00.6	we really needed something to keep us going every single day. So not a deep dive workbook,
1:05.9	but maybe like a micro dose of self-love in your daily life, which is why I wrote 100 days of self-love.
1:12.9	It's a guided journal with, you guessed it, 100 prompts, that cover so many areas of life,
1:18.0	including body, identity, purpose, emotions, mindset, relationships, and more.
1:24.0	So you can really think of it as a metaphorical multivitamin, something to keep you going,
1:28.8	or as I like to say, growing on your self-love journey. You can get this journal wherever books are
1:33.6	sold as well by searching for 100 days of self-love or go to mary's cup of tea.com slash journal.
1:39.7	It's my mission to share all the self-love tea with you. So I hope that both my books and this podcast can do
1:45.3	just that.
1:52.6	Self-love is inherently relational. It does not exist in a vacuum. We need people in our lives to
2:00.2	show us love, just like we do for them.
2:03.0	That give and take exchange of loving energy is ultimately what can lead us to connect with
