Summary

In this interview Mary is joined by her friend Kelly Uchima (@kellyu) to have a deep conversation about recovering from anorexia, addiction, binge eating, codependency, and toxic relationships. Kelly is also Asian American, so she shares the nuances of growing up with body-image struggles while being a person of color. You will learn... - the warning signs and red flags of toxic relationships (we're talking like, narcisstic abuse) - why you can get addicted to pretty much anything (and how to break free) - what perfectionism, eating disorders, addiction, and toxic relationships all have in common... This is a rich, raw, and real conversation filled with true vulnerability and authentic storytelling. Please make sure to let us know how you like it by tagging @maryspodcast and @kellyu in your IG stories! Kelly U (@kellyu) is incredibly passionate about breaking the stigma on mental health. She created and coined the Instagram and Youtube series, Therapy Thursday, to share just how beautiful and meaningful connecting with the most raw, vulnerable parts of yourself can be. Kelly aspires to inspire those who struggle with their relationship with their bodies, food, trauma and recovery. She has overcome eating disorders, anxiety and depression and is grateful to share her journey and help others to help themselves.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast.
0:08.9	I'm your host, Mary Jolkowski.
0:10.9	I'm an author, speaker, and all-around self-love advocate.
0:14.9	And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:21.0	Hello, myself lovers.
0:22.9	Before we dive into today's podcast episode,
0:25.2	I want to make sure that you are giving yourself the gift of self-love.
0:29.8	Now, if you don't know what the gift of self-love is,
0:32.2	it's a workbook that will help you build confidence,
0:35.3	recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself.
0:38.9	And it's now available in stores and online worldwide. Oh my goodness, I've been waiting to say that
0:45.3	because I've been working on this book for years. I poured my heart and soul into it, compiling everything
0:50.7	that I teach at my retreats and putting it into this heartfelt, relatable,
0:55.8	and actionable workbook for you. The cool thing is, this book is a combination of me sharing my
1:02.3	life story and everything that's helped me on this self-love journey, including body acceptance,
1:08.3	and it's a workbook that you can actually write in. So every single thing that I
1:13.2	share, you can put into practice right away. There are quizzes, journal prompts, self-reflection
1:18.8	exercises, self-love challenges, all of which will help you with body image, confidence,
1:25.1	self-worth, and self-love. I'm holding it right here. It's right in front

1:35.0	design on this one. It makes such a wonderful gift, both for yourself and for your loved ones.
