Summary

Mary Jelkovsky aka “Mary’s Cup Of Tea” on the gram, has been a face in the eating disorder recovery, self-love, and body confidence community. But how and why did she get there? Mary explained it as this chronic feeling of “I’m not enough” combined with a toxic mix of diet culture and beauty standards that led her right into an 8 year battle with an eating disorder. We explore her adolescence along with the relationships with herself and others that impacted it along the way, we then dive into the how and where she is today. As a writer, TedX talk speaker, podcaster and creator of her very own retreats.
