Summary

Last year, Mary did an interview with Christy Harrison on her podcast, Rethinking Wellness. We are resurfacing that episode here, so you can listen to this “reverse interview” where Mary and Christy talk about how wellness culture coupled with social media algorithms creates a toxic environment for both consumers and creators. Tune into this deeply personal conversation about... - Mary’s history as a bikini fitness competitor starting at age 16, and how it both triggered and exacerbated an ED - how social media algorithms drive us into more extreme diet and wellness content - why Mary thinking of quitting influencing despite finding much success on social media (and why Christy Harrison has already left Instagram) Though this episode was recorded 10 months prior, everything Mary said still holds true. Social media seems to be doing more harm than good and with every passing day, Mary is more and more tempted to call it quits. If you enjoyed this episode, screenshot it and share it on social media!

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.
0:18.3	Hello, self-lover.
0:19.9	Before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make sure you know about my two books on self-love.
0:25.7	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.
0:32.8	It's a comprehensive workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to love who you are.
0:39.2	Thousands of people have this book and the five-star reviews are so amazing. They give me so much

1:33.5	sold as well by searching for 100 days of self-love or go to mary's cup of tea.com slash journal.
1:39.6	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
1:45.2	just that. I'm sure you can tell by my voice that I have a bit of a head cold, but I thought
