#237: 7 Self-Love Lessons I’m Taking Int...

Mary Jelkovsky
About this episode

For her 27th birthday episode, Mary shares 7 lessons she’s taking into her late-20s. Tune in for learnings on self-acceptance, self-awareness, confidence, joy and self-love as a whole. Hopefully these lessons will change your perspective on what it means to love yourself.

You will learn about...

  • the dual nature of self-love
  • the surprising secret to discovering your strengths
  • a powerful mindset shift that will help you embrace joy—even in the midst of struggle

Remember: Self-love comes not from overcoming our insecurities, but rather from embracing them. We must be-friend our demons and invite all parts of ourselves to sit at the table.

If you want to make Mary’s birthday extra special, please consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or a rating on Spotify. Your positive feedback is the best gift ever!

  2. 100 Days of Self-Love, a guided journal with 100 prompts to help you calm self-criticism and learn to love who you are.
