In this episode, I am thrilled to have the incredible Marla Mervis Hartman join us to explore the transformative journey of finding freedom with food and peace with our bodies. Marla, a seasoned coach and Reiki master, guides us through the essential emotional healing required to break free from diet culture and unrealistic body expectations.
In our candid conversation, we discuss:
• How food and body image often serve as coping mechanisms for deeper emotional issues
• Practical tools like re-parenting, inner child work, and embracing your emotions for authentic healing
• The importance of compassion and being gentle with yourself, especially during life changes like postpartum
• The cycle of diet culture and the critical need to listen to your body's needs rather than succumbing to restrictive diets
• Dealing with negative self-talk and body image concerns, and how to give space to and dialogue with your fears
• Setting boundaries with food and body that are rooted in love rather than societal approval
We also touch on Marla's personal journey, shared struggles, and growth. She opens up about her book, "Befriend Yourself: Finding Freedom with Food and Peace with Your Body," which is packed with insights and practical tips for anyone struggling with food and body image issues. 📚
✨ Don't miss this enlightening discussion! Follow the journey towards self-love, and learn how to genuinely nourish your body and mind.
