0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. I'm your host, Mary Jilkovsky. I'm an author,
0:11.8	speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:22.1	Hey friends, before we begin, I just wanted to let you know that this podcast episode
0:26.2	is sponsored by my favorite books.
0:29.5	Not literally, but I did create a book list for you with all of my favorite books for
0:35.1	self-love and body image and self-confidence and just overall self-healing

1:20.7	this list handy-dandy for when you're getting a book on Amazon or shopping in your
1:25.5	audible or whatever. So I've created this book list and you can get
1:29.5	it at maryscup of tea.com slash books. And I will also put it in the show notes. And let me know how
1:36.7	you like these recommendations by screenshoting what you're reading and tagging me in your
1:41.5	Instagram stories. I always love seeing you use my recommendations.
1:45.1	It just makes my whole day because we're like a little community.

1:51.7	Go get it.
