0:00.0	Welcome to Mary's Cup of Tea, the Self-Love Podcast for Women, though all self-lovers are welcome here.
0:06.8	I'm your host, Mary Jolkovsky. I'm an author, speaker, retreat leader, and all-around
0:12.8	self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:19.9	Hello, self-lover. Before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make
0:24.4	sure you know about my two books on self-love. If you're struggling with body image or self-acceptance,
0:30.2	then I highly recommend you check out my first book, The Gift of Self-Love. It's a comprehensive
0:35.1	workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth,
0:38.7	and learn to love who you are. Thousands of people have this book and the five-star reviews
0:43.9	are so amazing. They give me so much life. So I hope that this is something that can help you too.

1:18.6	areas of life, including body, identity, purpose, emotions, mindset, relationships, and more.
1:25.5	So you can really think of it as a metaphorical multivitamin, something to keep you going,
1:30.3	or as I like to say, growing on your self-love journey.
1:33.4	You can get this journal wherever books are sold as well by searching for 100 days of self-love
1:38.0	or go to Mary's Cup of Tea.com slash journal.
1:41.2	It's my mission to share all the self-love tea with you.
1:44.0	So I hope that both my books and
1:45.7	this podcast can do just that. One time I was scrolling through my camera roll and I saw a photo I
