0:00.0	Welcome to Mary's Cup of Tea, the self-love podcast for women, though all self-lovers are welcome here.
0:06.7	I'm your host, Mary Jolkovsky. I'm an author, speaker, retreat leader, and all-around self-love advocate.
0:14.0	And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:19.1	I am turning 27 this week. 27 feels big because it's how old my mom was when she
0:29.9	got pregnant with me. And this is a classic kid thing to do is to like measure your life as in before you came into this world and after
0:41.3	you came into this world. But the other day my family and I were playing this interesting game
0:45.6	where we were determining like the halfway point between knowing each other and not knowing
0:52.9	each other. So like for example, because my mom was
0:57.0	barely 28 when she had me, right now she just passed that birthday where the amount of time that
1:04.7	she's known me in her life and the amount of time that she did not have me in her life is exactly equal. And I did the same
1:14.3	thing with my sister. Like when I turned 21, that was the moment for me where I was like, wow,
1:18.9	I've had my sister in my life for exactly the amount of time that I was an only child. And so we were
1:25.1	just doing all these funny numbers. And for me, 27 is like,
1:30.6	I don't know, I always thought like somehow life kind of starts when I'll turn 27 because that's
1:36.5	narcissistically what I felt like when my mom's life started, although of course, that is not the
1:43.1	case. But, you know, I always just thought like, okay, 27, 28, that's life started, although, of course, that is not the case. But, you know, I always just
1:45.1	thought, like, okay, 27, 28, that's when my mom had her first child. So maybe that's, like,
1:51.5	the time that I'll have my first child. And as I'm, like, nearing toward that and more seriously
1:57.8	family planning and now actually turning 27 and being in that, I'm like, oh my gosh,
2:03.3	here it is. Not to mention, I'm also kind of dipping into my Saturn return. If you're into
2:11.2	astrology and zodiacs, Saturn return is basically when Saturn makes one full loop around the sun. So it's basically like your first
2:19.7	Saturn birthday and it happens every like 27 to 29 years. So you will hit it again in your 50s.
