Marla Mervis-Hartmann: Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Eating
- Marla Mervis-Hartmann: Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Eating Therese Forton Barnes; Marla Mervis-Hartmann 37:34
In this episode, Tee welcomes Marla Mervis-Hartmann, creator of Love Your Body, Love Yourself. Marla opens up about her struggles with emotional eating and body Image issues. She shares her transformative journey of self-compassion and self-friendship, which helped her overcome years of dysfunctional eating and negative body image. Marla explains how societal pressures and mixed messages about body appearance contribute to emotional eating, and emphasizes the importance of addressing internal feelings of inadequacy as a root cause of weight and food issues. Throughout the conversation, Marla offers practical tools and insights on self-care, recognizing and transforming shame, and the power of spirituality in healing one’s relationship with food and body.
Marla also highlights the importance of nourishing the body adequately throughout the day to prevent cycles of dieting and binge eating. The discussion extends to the detrimental impact of social media and societal comparisons on body image and mental health, and how practices such as Reiki can help release stress and promote self-love. Marla provides various resources, including her free course that comes with pre-ordering her upcoming book ‘Be-Friend Yourself,’ and personal Coaching options to support listeners in their journey toward emotional and physical well-being.
