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
0:15.1	you to love yourself. Hello, self-lover. Before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make sure you know about my two
0:24.1	books on self-love. If you're struggling with body image or self-acceptance, then I highly
0:28.9	recommend you check out my first book, The Gift of Self-Love. It's a comprehensive workbook to
0:34.3	help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to love who you are.
0:39.1	Thousands of people have this book, and the five-star reviews are so amazing. They give me so much
0:44.3	life, so I hope that this is something that can help you too. You can get it wherever books are
0:48.8	sold by searching for the gift of self-love, or go to my website, maryscup of tea.com slash book. After releasing the gift of
0:57.2	self-love and reading all your positive feedback, I realized that we really needed something to keep
1:01.7	us going every single day. So not a deep dive workbook, but maybe like a micro dose of self-love
1:08.6	in your daily life, which is why I wrote 100 days of self-love.
1:12.6	It's a guided journal with, you guessed it, 100 prompts that cover so many areas of life,
1:17.8	including body, identity, purpose, emotions, mindset, relationships, and more.
1:23.8	So you can really think of it as a metaphorical multivitamin, something to keep you going,
1:28.6	or as I like to say, growing on your self-love journey.
1:31.7	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.
1:39.5	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
1:45.1	just that. I used to greatly identify with terms like overachiever, high performer,
2:00.2	type A personality, busy B, someone who does it all,
2:06.5	and bonus points if you look good while doing it. Now that I'm a little bit older, I find that
