  • Thank you 💕

    Since I listen to this podcast every morning before school, I feel so much calmer and confident. I’m 15 and I struggled hard with anxiety and speeches or speaking in general. But since almost 1 year I listen to your podcast every day and it helped me so so much. My anxiety is almost gone and I’m not so afraid of speeches anymore. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and time in this podcast💕

    Love from Germany 💕

  • Too many LOUD ads

    Marys insights are invaluable, but unfortunately they are drowned out by the constant loud ads. The show is now too unbearable to listen to.

    If I could only listen to one podcast for the rest of my life, it would hands down be Mary’s Cup of Tea. Mary has played a major role in my self-love journey, and I cannot recommend her enough. I am always able to take something helpful from each of the episodes, and you can tell how much effort Mary puts into her work to produce this show. I am beyond grateful to Mary and all the guests she brings to the show, and It is always a highlight of my week to listen to this podcast. Thank you Mary!

    Love listening to Mary’s podcast on my long walks. It’s the perfect balance of self-love advice, but also a lot of other relatable topics like relationships, spirituality, feminism, and mental health. This show is definitely my “cup of tea” 🍵🥰
