Navigating Your Body Acceptance Journey During a Pandemic with @maryscupofteaa

Mary Jelkovsky is a speaker, and content creator that I had the pleasure of doing an IG live with! This is the audio from our chat, and I know you guys are going to LOVE it!

A little bit about Mary in her own words!

“I’m here to show you that self-love is more powerful than any diet or exercise plan.

I used to be one of 96% of women who was unhappy with my appearance. Spending endless time, energy and money on diets, detoxes and products that never made me like my body or be happy with myself.

After letting go of dieting for good and healing my body, mind and spirit, I now travel to beautiful places hosting women’s self-love retreats, eat yummy foods without an ounce of guilt, and share my heart with you through my writings, videos and online programs.”

Supporting the Boobies, One Nike Sports Bra at a Time

Since I was young, I can remember running around the soccer field in a Nike sports bra dreaming of a day when I could work with them.

The Nike brand is one I have always confidently stood behind. I lived in Nike on and off the soccer field growing up because the quality of their products is unmatched.

Whenever I think of Nike, I have always thought of words like quality, comfort, and style. This sports bra is absolutely no different. It is such a unique and versatile style, and the comfort level is unreal! I feel secure and confident without feeling restricted, which is extremely important since my favorite workouts are high-intensity. The mesh detailing is super comfortable on my skin and I don’t feel the need to constantly adjust my sports bra during my workouts. The second I put these on, this sports bra paired with these Nike tights immediately became my new favorite gym outfit.

As someone who lives in athletic clothes, this sports bra provides the perfect support no matter what my schedule is for the day. From working at home, to running errands, meeting with friends, and of course, hitting the gym, this sports bra is there through it all. I grew up loving Nike and I cannot wait to continue supporting their brand and their products.
