just feel like you've lost your spark. How do you reignite that spark when you feel like you've

lost it? The last one specifically is pretty dense and deep. Hi, hello, welcome to Mary's

Cup of Tea, the self-love podcast for women. Though all self-lovers are welcome here. I'm Mary. I write and

speak about self-love and I'm best known for my book, The Gift of Self-Love,

and I also host retreats for women. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.

Real quick, before we dive in, I want to make sure you know about my book, The Gift of Self-Love.

It's a workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth,

and learn to love who you are. It's available anywhere books are sold. Thousands of people have it,

love it, and have told me that it has greatly benefited their self-love journey, and I hope it'll do

the same for you. And now let's get into the podcast. You know when you just don't

right? And being able to ignite it and reignite it when you feel like you've lost it. Just a quick

caveat here, I believe that, you know, that lack of motivation and feeling like

you just can't do anything, everything feels heavy. Obviously, there are many different

manifestations of why this could be. Burnout is a big one. Like you're just like literally your

body is saying, no, please stop. we need a break. Depression is also a very

serious clinical condition and I hope that you have the wherewithal to recognize those signs

and get professional help if needed. But in this episode specifically, I think it'll help you

no matter where you are in your journey and I hope it can be a self-love supplement, of course,
