Spirituality And Finding Peace With Food And Your Body w/ Marla Mervis-Hartmann

What if your struggles with food and body image weren’t really about food or your body at all? In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by author, TEDx speaker, reiki Master and body-love coach Marla Mervis-Hartmann to explore the deeper layers of healing - where spirituality, self-compassion, and divine connection meet our relationship with food. Together, we talk about: ✨ Why dieting and shame are never meant to work—and what actually does ✨ How spirituality can bring waves of compassion, forgiveness, and hope to your healing journey ✨ The difference between ego-driven “instant gratification” and true soul-aligned pleasure ✨ How to become your own best friend (instead of your own bully) ✨ Practical ways to slow down, reconnect to your intuition, and invite spirit into those moments when food feels overwhelming This isn’t just about stopping the binge–restrict cycle. It’s about remembering that you are guided, held, and already enough - exactly as you are. If you’ve ever feared that being “too nice” to yourself will mean you’ll lose control, this episode will completely reframe the way you approach self-love, food, and life.
