In this deeply meaningful episode of The End in Mind, I’m joined by Marla Mervis-Hartmann — bestselling author of Be-Friend Yourself, TEDx speaker, Reiki Master, and the creator of Love Your Body Love Yourself.Marla is known for her compassionate and intuitive approach to healing emotional eating, body shame, and the deeper wounds that keep so many people stuck in cycles of control, restriction, obsession, or disconnection. Her work goes far beyond food — it’s about coming home to yourself.Together, we explore:- What emotional eating really is (and what it’s not)- How food can become a coping mechanism for grounding, avoiding, or bypassing deeper emotions- The difference between “dieting” and true nourishment- How spiritual connection plays a role in healing body image- Why so many high-achieving entrepreneurs get stuck in loops of “overthinking, overworking, and overeating”- How childhood environments shape our relationship with food and our bodies- Why getting into your body (not just your mind) is essential for healing- How to rebuild trust with food, your body, and yourself- Practical tools for moving through overwhelm without abandoning yourself- What to do when healing uncovers a “void” or identity gap — and how to fill it with self-love rather than old patternsThis conversation is filled with wisdom, grounded spirituality, and gentle reminders that we don’t heal through force — we heal through safety, compassion, and connection.Connect with Marla & Explore Her Work:- Her Book: Be-Friend Yourself: <a href="https://www.loveyourbodyloveyourself.com/book">https://www.loveyourbodyloveyourself.com/book</a>- Free Gift — Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Eating: <a href="https://goloveyourbodyloveyourself.com/emotionaleating">https://goloveyourbodyloveyourself.com/emotionaleating</a>- Website: <a href="http://www.loveyourbodyloveyourself.com/">www.LoveYourBodyLoveYourself.com</a>- TEDx Talk: The Secret Ingredient of Feeling Good in Your Body: <a href="https://youtu.be/nEVjlT9B6dU?si=0--OdXuS_qTEi1X9">https://youtu.be/nEVjlT9B6dU?si=0--OdXuS_qTEi1X9</a>- YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/marlamervis">https://www.youtube.com/marlamervis</a>- Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/loveyourbodyloveyourselfalways">https://www.instagram.com/loveyourbodyloveyourselfalways</a>- Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/loveyourbodyloveyourself">https://www.facebook.com/loveyourbodyloveyourself</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/marla.mervis">https://www.facebook.com/marla.mervis</a>*Loved this episode?*Send me a DM on Instagram @meraki_media_management — I’d love to hear your reflections, your story, or what resonated most.
