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 self-love.
0:25.5	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.
0:32.6	It's a comprehensive workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to love who you are.
0:39.0	Thousands of people have this book and the five-star reviews are so amazing. They give me so much

1:31.6	You can get this journal wherever books are sold as well by searching for 100 days of self-love
1:36.3	or go to Mary's Cup of Tea.com slash journal.
1:39.4	It's my mission to share all the self-love tea with you, so I hope that both my books and
1:44.0	this podcast can do just that.
1:51.8	One thing I've never talked about publicly before is how I grew up deeply entrenched in religion.
1:59.4	Not with my primary caregiver, my mom, but whenever I would go
