In this episode of Midlife Love Out Loud, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Marla Mervis-Hartman, a body image expert and specialist in emotional eating and self-acceptance. Together, we explored some of the biggest challenges women face in midlife regarding loving and accepting their bodies. We talked about what emotional eating really is — it’s not just about overeating; it also includes controlling food as a way to cope with emotions.
We also touched on the societal pressures we all feel around body image, the importance of finding support, and practical steps for improving our relationship with food and our bodies. Marla shared some great advice on self-care and even gave a sneak peek into her upcoming book. I’m so excited for you to listen to this conversation because it’s packed with real, actionable takeaways that can help you embrace your body and find peace in your relationship with food. You won’t want to miss this!
