0:00.0	Welcome to Mary's Cup of Tea, the Self-Love Podcast for Women.
0:06.6	I'm your host, Mary Jolkowski, an author, speaker, and all-around self-love advocate.
0:12.6	And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:18.8	Hello, self-lover.
0:20.5	Before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make sure you know about my two books on self-love.
0:26.2	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.
0:33.3	It's a comprehensive workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to love who you are.
0:39.8	Thousands of people have this book and the five-star reviews are so amazing. They give me so much life.

1:39.1	slash journal. 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 just that.
1:52.6	Content warning. This is an episode about pregnancy loss, chronic pain, and the grief that comes with feeling like your body has betrayed you.
2:02.7	Ashley Lemieux is somebody that I've followed for over five years, someone I've admired so much
