Summary

Okay, this episode is a MUST-LISTEN and we're not just saying that! Today's guest is Kenzie Brenna, fellow self-love advocate, mental health educator, speaker, and podcaster who is AMAZING at talking about taboo topics with the sensitivity and care they deserve. You will learn how to... - deal with people who disagree with you - embrace the paradoxes in life - be okay with not knowing everything - approach political topics with the nuance, knowledge, and due dilligence they deserve (instead of believing every infographic you see on Instagram) Kenzie also shares controversial perspectives about things like... - trigger warnings (and why they're not always helpful) - liberal and left-leaning politics - the body positivity community Warning: you may disagree with a lot of what we say and that's okay! We are all here to listen to each other, invite in different perspectives, and see what we can learn along the way. Thank you for being open to unpopular opinions and uncomfortable (yet important!) conversations. πŸ™ Follow Kenzie on social media: [@kenziebrenna](https://www.instagram.com/kenziebrenna/) Listen to her podcast: [Conversations with Kenzie](

Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. I'm your host, Mary Jolkovsky. I'm an author,

0:11.5

speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.

0:21.2

Wow. Okay. I truly cannot wait for you to hear this podcast episode with my friend Kenzie Brenna.

0:28.8

We have been following each other on social media for a while, and we both started in, like, the body image, body positivity space.

0:36.6

And the way this woman's content has evolved

0:40.1

to reflect such deep aspects of society and culture and how we consume the internet and just

0:49.2

so many topics that are seemingly taboo, especially because these days, it is very easy to get

1:14.4

I do want to warn you that we talk about some things that may make you feel uncomfortable and things

that you may disagree with and know that that is okay. That is part of the learning process,

1:35.1

doing a lot, a lot more of because I think the internet just makes us so susceptible to binary thinking.

1:42.8

And that's just a major theme of this episode and so much

1:46.0

wisdom that Kenzie brings to us is that most of life does not exist in very succinct, easy

answers. Most of life cannot be summarized into an infographic. There is just so much

nuance to people and to life

2:03.4

and the way things interact and geopolitics and domestic politics and just all of these things that

2:10.6
