·28 min·2 clips

Marit weighed 80 kilos at age 12, faced bullying, and developed an eating disorder that lasted until she was 41.

1. Glücklich im Inneren Zuhause host Cornelia Maria Mohr interviews Marit Schimmelpfenning about her path from childhood trauma to inner peace. 2. Marit Schimmelpfenning is a coach and workshop facilitator living near Rostock on the Baltic Sea with her 13-year-old son and six-year-old dog. 3. The episode's core thesis is that inner peace — described as a personal 'inner home' — is achievable through faith, acceptance of change, and sustained inner work. 4. Marit defines her 'inner home' as a deep belief in God that produces feelings of safety, love, and peace that mirror what a physical home provides. 5. She traces her emptiness to childhood: at age 12 she weighed 80 kilos, had crooked teeth, thin hair, and experienced peer exclusion and humiliation now described as mobbing. 6. The exclusion and humiliation led her to block her feelings and lock her heart, leaving her without the ability to anticipate growing up with enthusiasm. 7. She developed an eating disorder at age 13, which she describes as 'a friend' that gave temporary good feelings while simultaneously destroying her body. 8. The eating disorder persisted for nearly 28 years until a single family constellation session, attended at age 41, ended the behaviour from one day to the next. 9. After the constellation session, Marit experienced weeks of physical symptoms — including tinnitus and general illness — as the stored tension left her body. 10. The session was only the starting point: years of additional work on thoughts, behavioural patterns, and self-concept followed. 11. Last year, a specific unnamed event prompted a deep return to Christian faith, which Marit identifies as the moment she truly arrived at inner peace. 12. Since then she says she smiles at strangers, declines unnecessary arguments, and no longer speaks badly of or judges others. 13. She frames the universe as benevolent — 'the universe thinks good of you' — positioning trust and surrender as practical tools for stability. 14. On difficult days, Marit retreats into solitude, prayer, gratitude practice, and dog walks she says produce her best thinking. 15. She emphasises that problems do not disappear with personal growth, but her relationship to them has changed: she looks for what each situation teaches or shows her. 16. Her workshop message centres on teaching participants that 'change is not wrong — change can be a friend,' and staying committed even when the path is painful. 17. The conversation has a warm, personal interview tone with both host and guest speaking partly in German and partly in English within the same recording. 18. Cornelia Maria frames questions gently, giving Marit space to reflect and draw connections between childhood events and present-day philosophy. 19. Listeners who are processing childhood trauma, eating disorders, or searching for spiritual grounding will find the episode directly relevant. 20. Listeners expecting clinical psychology frameworks, evidence-based therapy discussion, or secular self-help approaches may find the content too faith-centred.
