This week, Christine and Shannon will be joined by Marla Mervis-Hartmann, creator of Love Your Body, Love Yourself, and author of the upcoming book Be-Friend Yourself. After years of struggle with body image and food obsession, Marla reclaimed her power through the radical act of self-compassion.

She will share how to shift from body shame to body appreciation, the role of Reiki and holistic healing in recovery, and how women can rewrite the story they tell themselves in the mirror.

Whether you’re in recovery, navigating motherhood, or simply ready to stop warring with your reflection — this conversation will leave you uplifted, grounded, and empowered.

What does true wellness look like—beyond diets, green juices, and morning routines? 🌱 In this raw and inspiring episode, we sit down with Sue Willoughby, founder of Willoughby Coaching, to explore environmental wellness through a radically different lens—Equus Coaching 🐎.

Sue’s lived experience is anything but ordinary. Raised by a single alcoholic parent, she’s walked through fire and come out fierce: a DJ, stand-up comic, private pilot, and Roller Derby ref turned transformational coach. Today, she helps women over 40 reconnect with themselves through deep connection with horses and the natural world 🌿. We unpack: 🔸How nature and animals reveal the truth we hide from ourselves. 🔸Why environmental wellness isn’t just about where you live—but how you live 🔸The healing power of honest, embodied presence (with a little help from her horse Moose) 🐴 🔸How to step out of fear and into authentic power at any age 👉 Connect with Sue: 🔗 Website: www.willoughbycoaching.com 🔗 LinkedIn: Sue Willoughby 🔗 Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/sue_willoughby 📩 Don’t forget to subscribe, like, and comment—your support helps us grow this wellness conversation! 🌐 Connect With Us: 🎙 Podcast Website: https://womenconnectedinwisdompodcast.com/ 📸 IG: @WomenConnectedInWisdom 📘 Facebook Group: Women Connected in Wisdom Community Glo from head to toe by joining the Shealo Glo Glo club at www.shealoglo.com!
