▶️ WATCH THE VIDEO INTERVIEW: 

 

It’s a common struggle that goes far beyond food, impacting our self-worth, our relationships, and our ability to feel at peace in our own skin.

In this episode of The Mental Health Toolbox, I sit down with Marla Mervis-Hartmann, best-selling author of "BE-Friend Yourself," a TEDx speaker, and a leading expert on body image and food freedom. Marla shares her powerful blend of coaching, personal insight, and spiritual practices to provide a clear roadmap for healing.

We explore tangible tools for breaking the cycle of emotional eating, discuss how negative body image creates barriers to deep connection, and uncover how spirituality can be a profound ally in making peace with our bodies.
